Axminster Engineer Series LogoYou may have noticed some new metal working machinery in snazzy new colours being shown on our web site lately, well, we thought a little explanation would help you understand what we are planning to do.

The new colours and branding are part of our general machinery re-branding which has been a great success with our woodworking machinery. With our metal working product range we have created two distinct sections, one for the Model Engineer Series (which is obviously the smaller, bench top machines) and the Engineer Series machines for the more serious users such as small fabrication or engineering workshops, schools and colleges. Mostly, in the Model Engineer Series range the products are unchanged from before, just some small refinements here and there based on customer feedback, but in our Engineer Series range there will be an exciting range of products, upgraded mills, a completely new mid sized lathe range, new, extremely rugged and accurate drill presses and a whole new range of metal cutting bandsaws. All in our snazzy new colours! And even these colours are finishes in an epoxy based coating which is much more durable than traditional cellulose type finishes.

All of these machines will be featured in our 2014 Catalogue due out at the turn of the year, and, hopefully, almost everything will be in stock by then, if not, then early in January. We are quite excited by what we have done, and we are sure that this range of products will be very well received by you, our customer’s. We will be showing a good number of these new items at the Model Engineer Exhibition held at the Alexandra Palace in mid January. See you there!
