Large Complex parts! Make them in one hit with this Star SX-38
By Lyndsey Vickers
Beefy. Powerful. Intelligent. That’s how Matt Lee of Star GB sums up the SX-38 Type A – and we can see why.
Axminster Tools have just added this high-end sliding head machine to their lineup, and it’s already transforming how they manufacture complex components. This machine doesn’t just reduce cycle times, it redefines what’s possible.
• StepCycle Pro optimises chip control – even on tricky materials like aluminium.
• Variable drive motors cut power consumption and improve oil control.
• Twin-filter high-pressure pumps = clean, efficient performance.
• And the new FMB bar feeder allows seamless switching between guide bush and non-guide bush mode – no manual tinkering!
Whether you’re scaling up volumes or tightening tolerances, this machine delivers flexibility, productivity, and serious confidence for deep cuts. Catch the full walkaround with Lyndsey Vickers of MTDCNC.
