My new Perrin Mill

 

Listed below are some images of my new (to me) Perrin Universal Mill built by Perrin Bros of Switzerland.  I’m not

quite sure how old the machine is, but the slide-ways and feed-screws are in mint condition. With just about zero

backlash and no wear on any part of it at all.

 

This machine (also marketed as a Christen) has some unusual attributes; firstly, that you can take the main table off and clamp the job to the

side-mount table, and secondly, that it has an alternate table that can be tilted in the X, Y and Z planes concurrently.

So, if you want to mill a surface to some weirdo compound angle this is the machine for it. J
