Small size,big performance January 1st 2010 Chris Giles of Air Time CNC
in Oxfordshire is a successful
musician who now devotes
his working life to designing
and making components for
jet skis, helped by a Mini Mill
from XYZ Machine Tools.

outsource production, Giles
started making composite
GRP and carbon fibre parts,
progressing to the machining
of aluminium and stainless
steel components after QC
and delivery problems with
suppliers. He discovered
through the Internet XYZ
Machine Tools and visited
one of its show-rooms to see
a Mini Mill compact VMC.
The Mini Mill has an easyto-
use control and came with
a two-day training course,
tooling package and 3-year
