MILLING MACHINES

We sell Knee type Vertical and Horizontal Mills to the USA, Canada, and Latin America. Birmingham, GMC and JET options & upgrades are installed in USA. We also offer ACRA which comes pre-equipped with a digital readout and an X table power feed and includes free shipping to most of USA. Most of these milling machines are very similar to the famous Bridgeport Mill design.

Metal Milling is the work of machining flat, curved, or irregular surfaces by feeding the workpiece against a rotating cutter containing a mutiple cutting edges. The milling machine consists basically of a motor driven spindle, which mounts and revolves the milling cutter, and a reciprocating adjustable worktable, which mounts and feeds the workpiece. Milling machines are basically classified as vertical or horizontal. These machines are also classified as knee-type and bed type. Knee-type milling machines have a vertically adjustable worktable resting on a saddle which is supported by a knee shaped massive casting that rides vertically on the milling machine column and can be clamped rigidly to the column in a position where the milling head and milling machine spindle are properly adjusted vertically for operation. Bed type mills have a fixed table that holds more weight. Vertical milling machines have a spindle located vertically, parallel to the column face, and mounted in a sliding head that can be fed up and down by hand or power. Modern vertical milling machines are designed so the entire head can also swivel to permit working on angular surfaces. We do have an attachment option to convert a Birmingham vertical mill into a horizontanal one.
