Five years, a bigger building, more machines — and a whole lot more ambition! This is Axminster Tools.

Join Lyndsey Vickers of MTDCNC as she visits Axminster Tools to see how they’re not just keeping up — they’re levelling up.

From woodturning kits to complex CNC components, Jake Knight of Axminster Tools and his team are bringing production back from overseas and taking on intricate new designs with the Star SX-38. And with programming talent like Nathan behind the controls, they’re getting faster, smarter, and more precise.

Overlap machining. Advanced chip control with Step Cycle Pro. Three tools cutting simultaneously… The result? More flexibility, less downtime, and parts produced in record time!
