The Precision Matthews PM-3990 milling machine is a compact, benchtop metalworking tool designed for hobbyists and small workshops. Offering a variable-speed spindle and a relatively large work envelope for its size, this mill enables users to perform various operations like drilling, milling, and boring on metal stock. Its common applications include creating small parts, prototypes, and tooling.
Compact machining centers of this class empower individual machinists and small businesses by providing affordable access to precision metalworking capabilities. Historically, such work required larger, more expensive industrial equipment, limiting access for smaller operations. The availability of these smaller, more versatile machines has democratized the field, fostering innovation and enabling a wider range of individuals to bring their ideas to life in metal.
