Table size is very important when deciding which Milling machine to buy. The VM-1054 from Baileigh Industrial has a 10” x 54” table that has been hardened, ground, polished, and coated with a special coating called Turcite® B to extend life and help eliminate corrosion.
The stronger you make the platform the better the cutting is. All three axis are powered on the VM-1054 making it easy on the operator. Another nice feature of the VM-1054 Milling machine is the two-axis digital readout that comes standard. This Mitutoyo® digital readout is accurate to 1/10 of 1 thousandth of an inch. A flood coolant system, air draw bar, and central lubrication system are all factory installed on the VM-1054.
- Variable speed Milling machine that is powered by 220 volts of three phase power Yaskawa® inverter
- Inverters are great for Milling machines because of their ability to be adjusted to any speed desired between 80 and 3800 rpm
- By selecting the right speed tooling life is lengthened and cut quality improves, both of which save money
- Baileigh Industrial selected an NT 40 taper for its spindle to help improve performance as a larger spindle is stronger and has tighter tolerances over a longer period of time
- Rigidity is also very important on a mill that is why Baileigh Industrial went with only the best castings to make the base and frame
