Thomson T/C Mill-Drill Table Model 100

Model: 100 | Origin: USA | Type: Multi-Axis Compound Table

Overview

The Thomson Model 100 is a professional-grade positioning table that provides the rigidity and travel required for milling and precision layout work. Built with a heavy cast-iron construction, it excels at dampening vibration during light milling operations in steel and aluminum. The "T/C" designation highlights its use as a Template-Controlled table, often utilized in early automation for repetitive drilling patterns.

Technical Specifications

• Table Surface: 20" x 11" (approx.)
• Electrical: 110V, 60 Hz, 15 Amps (Inrush) / 1 Amp (Continuous)
• Construction: Precision-ground cast-iron top and base.
• Travel: Dual-axis (X and Y) with smooth, handwheel-operated lead screws.
• Accuracy: Features adjustable gibs to maintain tight tolerances and minimize "slop" over time.
• Mounting: Designed to bolt directly to the slotted tables of industrial drill presses.

Key Performance Features

Template Control Ready: Originally designed to follow templates for high-speed production, it remains a favorite for manual toolrooms that require rapid, repeatable positioning.

• Precision Cross-Slide: The handwheels feature clear graduated dials for precise movement, making it far superior to standard cross-slide vises.
• Industrial Mass: Weighing significantly more than standard consumer-grade tables, it provides the solid foundation needed to prevent workpieces from "climbing" or vibrating during a cut.
• Made in USA Quality: Known for its longevity; these units are often rebuilt and put back into service decades after their original manufacture date.
