The Draper MILL-170 is a versatile bench-mounting mini milling and drilling machine designed for precision metalworking and fabrication tasks in workshops and small manufacturing environments. This compact yet capable machine handles most materials with ease, making it ideal for model engineers, toolmakers, and general engineering professionals who need accurate milling and drilling capabilities without the footprint of a full-sized machine. The machine features a robust working table with T-slots for secure workpiece clamping, complemented by metric graduated compound scales for precise positioning. The column tilts from 0-45° from vertical, enabling angled drilling and milling operations that would be difficult or impossible on standard bench drills. Variable speed control across two ranges (100-1100rpm and 100-2500rpm) provides the flexibility to work with different materials and cutting tools effectively. Safety and convenience are prioritised with a no-volt switch that prevents ac
