VMC-0600 CNC Mill

The VMC-0600 provides exceptionally higher performance at a price significantly lower than other machines in its class.

Key design features include a cast aluminum base and profile linear guide ways that provide the rigidity, speed and accuracy of larger industrial machines.

The VMC-0600 offers simultaneous three or four axis machining along with features and options usually found only on full-scale machining centers. Full three-axis tool path verification, standard EIA RS-274-D G&M code programming, 1 hp spindle power, and 100 ipm (2540 mm/min) rapid traverse and machine cutting rate make the eXpertMill the ultimate machine for CNC training and prototyping.

Optional features include 4 and 12 position automatic tool changers, and a 4th axis rotary positioner.
