Axminster Tools & Machinery (www.axminster.co.uk) enjoyed a very busy MACH 2018 show.

The iKX3 mill and the Jet Elite lathe on display generated a lot of interest and a number of leads which the company is currently following up on.

The company also informED visitors of various courses on offer at its Axminster Skill Centre, which consists of four purpose-built workshops, fitted out with an extensive range of tools and machinery.

The courses available include introductions to milling, gear cutting and the small engineering lathe, metal machining for restoration, and machining castings.

There is also a five-day engineering course on offer, during which a tutor guide students through all the tools, techniques and calculations needed to take on complex projects.

More details of these courses can be found at www.axminster.co.uk/skill-centre.
