2001 BRUTE VB2217 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2001 Brute VB2217 is a 3-axis CNC vertical machining center produced under the Brute brand, a compact and economical VMC platform designed for small-to-medium job shops and production environments. The machine features a CAT-40 taper spindle capable of reaching 12,000 RPM, suitable for a broad range of milling, drilling, boring, and tapping operations. The work table measures approximately 27 x 16 inches, with axis travels of approximately 21.6 inches in X, 16.9 inches in Y, and 19.6 inches in Z, providing a practical working envelope for small component machining. A 15-tool automatic tool changer enables efficient multi-operation cycles without manual intervention. The machine is equipped with a Selca S3045D CNC control system. Spindle power is approximately 15 HP, consistent with other machines in this class and size. Overall machine dimensions and weight were not confirmed from available OEM documentation; buyers should confirm these details from the machine nameplate and shipping specifications. The VB2217 model designation reflects the approximate table dimensions of the machine and positions it as an entry-level production VMC well-suited for prototype work and short-run manufacturing of aluminum and ferrous components.
