Mikron Archive
The Swiss firm of Mikron are best known
for their gear hobbing machines but also were the main competitors
to Schaublin for the small lathe and milling machine market during
the 1930s 50s and 60s. Although they are still in business, Mikron
have not produced instrument makers lathes and mills since the
60s, although they produced their larger milling machines up
to the late 1980s. Mikron machine tools are in my opinion possibly
the finest made in Switzerland, however they do not have the
overall flexibility and ease of use of those made by Schaublin
or Aciera.
