Background

In 1946 "Denford Machine Tools" began production of precision products branded "Box-Ford". In 1952 Mr. Denford sold out the Box-Ford part of his enterprise to T.S. Harrison & Sons Ltd. Well made, strongly built and capable of sustained hard work the original belt-drive Boxford lathe has long been a favourite with not only amateur and professional engineers but also schools and colleges where many thousands were installed during the 1950s and 1960s. By the 1970s Boxford had started to introduce a number of CNC lathes and milling machines, a path that they follow to this day.
