50 years old… and still working. 🔧

There’s something pretty special about a machine that becomes part of someone’s engineering journey.

Recently, we heard from a Boxford owner who still uses his lathe after more than 50 years.

It was the first machine he ever used, and incredibly, he still has the very first part he made on it all those years ago.

And the story doesn’t end there the lathe is still being put to work today.

That’s more than just longevity. It’s a reminder of the lasting place Boxford machines can have in workshops and in the lives of the people who use them.

We’d love to hear from other Boxford owners.

With your own laser equipment, you can:

🔧 Prototype faster and develop ideas more efficiently
⚙️ Have greater control over production
⏱️ Reduce reliance on external suppliers
📦 Respond more quickly to customer orders

The engineers of tomorrow are learning by making today. 🚀

Hands-on projects give students the opportunity to do more than learn theory.

They can design, experiment, measure, manufacture, make mistakes, solve problems and try again.

From CNC machining and laser cutting to projects such as Scalextric4Schools, practical experiences can help young people discover the creativity and problem-solving at the heart of engineering.

Because sometimes the best way to understand how something works is to make it yourself.
