Proxxon German engineered micro compound table KT70 for precise milling, facing, drilling or grinding operations as well as positioning. This high precision table is the optimal attachment when used with microdot drill stand MB140/S number 28606, the bench drill machine TBM115 number 38128 and machine vise MS4 number 28132. Table is made from surface treated aluminum for precision work surface; had three longitudinal T-slots and provides dual axis (lateral and cross) positioning via two hand wheels for precise adjustments. Backlash is controlled by adjustable dovetails. Hand wheels have zero resettable dials graduated in 0.05 mm increments (one complete revolution of hand wheel equals 1.0 mm complete revolution of hand wheel equals 1.0 mm, one pitch line equals 0.05 mm feed) for very precise and accurate set up.
- Clamping accessories for easy attachment on or below the MB140/S, TBM115 and MS4 come with the micro compound table; can also be used with other drill stands or drill presses
- Adjustable ruler facilitates positioning of cross slide; covered spindle to protect from dirt; one set (2-piece) of step clamps are included, set up ease
- X-travel 5-9/32 in. (134 mm), Y-travel 1-13/16 in. (46 mm), overall height 1-11/16 in. (43 mm)
- Fits drill press no. 38128 and drill stand no. 28606

Used to convert my drill press to a small mill… The compact size works well with my small table top press and the precision of the mechanism allows a lot of accuracy in milling fine cutouts and grooves. Made a simple adapter plate from 1/8 aluminum to allow fixing to my presses table since it not a Proxxon press but otherwise made for a simple conversion.

This Compound Table is suitable for holding object in drilling process. It allows drilling angle to various alignment in the drilling process.

If you are looking for a cross slide for a WW watchmakers/jewelers lathe-this works fine and is much better value than the ebay alternatives. Figure out how to clamp it to the base and you will be good.

Overall, adequate for the light milling (fly-cutting, end miling, with SHALLOW cuts) I’ve put it through, even if the most notable note in the instructions is that it “isn’t intended for milling”. I don’t remember encountering this caution in any of the advertising… One of the drive nuts is nylon and I’m guessing this will give out, sooner or later if I continue milling. When the gibs are tightened for more rigidity, the drives get squeaky, even when lubed. I do like its low profile, which leaves more work space free. The way I set it up on a vertical stage, I needed the top slide knob facing the other way, which ended up being easy to do by flipping around the mechanism in the long slide. It would have been nice to get a tiny wrench (5 mm?) for the locknuts on the gib bolts. For the very modest price, it’s been worth it.

The basic need for this – to precisely and accurately position a work piece for drilling or milling, etc. is met as desired. Loses a star (for me anyway) as I found that step stairs with plate work holder to be worst than useless. Four hands to hold the piece in place; four hands to hold each side of four pieces (upright, horizontal, threaded rod and nut); two more hands to hold a wrench to tighten the nuts. And with only discrete steps, work pieces of arbitrary thickness were impossible to get positioned. Maybe there is a trade trick to that part, but seems like a design that was neither thought out nor tested on a user. The mounting holes of the Table – metric and locations – did not match my drill press base. I had to fashion an adaptor plate to bolt to my base and different holes to exactly match the Table mounting holes. After I spent the better part of a day getting through that – it is solid and ready for me to do some actual drilling of miniature parts. Oh – I added a separately purchased horizontal vice to secure the work pieces. The total height of all three segments left just barely enough leeway to adjust my drill chuck. Summary – it works as needed – but a pain to assemble.Oh – separate review – I go to the trouble to photo it and caption – and Image comes out square, so apparently cut off the sides – re-did to make photo fit arbitrary aspect …. Grrr. Gagh – now it crops the image – can’t see the data – if you want free labor for a review at least provide a means to do so – if it does not come out right – it’s on you guys.

Very, very, very small. Very metric also. Here is the but. Very accurate compared to my very 60+ year old eyes and scribed lines in magic marker ink. Remember, very small.

A really nice piece of equipment built as well as anything commercial on the market, only smaller

Nice quality, small enough to use on a regular drill press and do the job right.

Good small stage constructed well.

I bought one of these 2 years ago and they are great if you need a small cross travel table. I use a small screwless vise on it as a regular drill press vise would be too big. Note I did say small. You need to mount it to a piece of 1/4″ wood or aluminum as the front wheel handle is lower than the base. I mounted mine on 1/4″ wood that sticks way out the sides so I can clamp it anywhere without blocking the table’s travel. For precision I’d give it 5 stars, but on it small size I had to give it 4 stars. I make knives for a hobby and I have a background in the metal trades and this little table works great and I have no complaints.

The material used, and the assembly exceeded my expectations. The way covers were not expected.
