The Xerocraft Machine Shop Tool Collection

Below is a sample of the machines available to our members




For many years, the Bridgeport Mill - the original, all-purpose mill - has been the "real thing" in milling, drilling, and boring for metalworking shops throughout the world. At Xerocraft we have one of these classic workhorses ready to fulfill the Tucson Maker community's need for an accurate, reliable, and versatile mill.

Bridgeport Mill training and certification is offered on the 2nd Saturday of each month. See XC calendar.




This Logan Metal Lathe may be a few years old, but she still spins just fine. Like all of our shop tools, it's well-maintained by our shop manager and talented volunteers.

Logan Lathe Training and certification is offered the 1st Saturday of each month. See XC calendar for details or contact "boss.machineshop@xerocraft.org" .
