Sixis S103R Universal Milling Machine

 

These beautifully made precision mills are very similar to a Schaublin 13. They feature gearbox driven power feeds to the table in the longitudinal and vertical planes as well as rapids. Earlier machines had speeds from 60 to 1200 rpm whilst on later models these were doubled. Spindle tapers were standard ISO 30.

A wide range of accessories were available including high speed drilling head, slotting head, dividing head, rotary table, and compound tilting table. I had a very well equipped S103R as my main milling machine in my own workshop for a number of years.
