Mini Mill



Ithaca Generator now has a functioning miniature vertical milling machine. Although it looks like a really small drill press and can be used as one, parts held in the vise can be moved in three axes relative to the rotating cutting tool to make rectangular features, round holes, and slots in metal and plastic parts. Most common CNC machines are computer-controlled versions of the vertical mill, and skills learned for the manual milling machine apply directly to later use of CNC mills.
