Milling Machine Applications
- Heavy-duty face milling, slotting, and profiling on oversized components, fully supported by the 840 lb table load capacity.
- Precision deep-hole boring and repetitive plunging using the precision bored and honed head and three-stage power downfeed.
- Commercial tool, die, and mold manufacturing demanding strict geometric tolerances and chatter-free finishes.
- Versatile machining operations requiring seamless transitions between high-torque low speeds and high-velocity finishing cuts.
With its proprietary Meehanite® foundation and enhanced table load limits, this mill is highly suited for job shops working with dense alloys and massive fixtures.
