Comments:

Centec 2 Mill originally fitted with lever operated rack and pinion feeds.
X and Y feeds had optional feed screws and nuts
Z (vertical) axis feed was developed from a bevel gear hand drill mounted in the purpose made machine cabinet with the feed handle roller bearing mount extending through the cabinet.

To provide component indexing a `spin indexer' was developed by converting a tailstock casting.

These British made tools were built to service the need for small scale production
