Clausing FV300-CNC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features an 11" × 58" work table designed to accommodate workpieces up to 880 lbs, making it suitable for medium-duty production and job shop applications. The machine utilizes a vertical spindle with an ISO 40 taper, operating at a maximum speed of 4,000 RPM with a 4 HP motor rated for continuous 30-minute operation. The manual single-tool carrier configuration reflects a traditional setup prioritized for simplicity and cost-effectiveness rather than automated production environments. The three-axis CNC control provides 30" of longitudinal (X-axis) travel, 15" of cross (Y-axis) travel, and 5" of vertical (Z-axis) travel, enabling comprehensive part machining capabilities. All axes deliver consistent maximum feed rates of 196 ipm with rapid traverse speeds of 200 ipm across X and Y axes, supporting efficient material removal and positioning. The Z-axis rapid traverse of 200 ipm facilitates quick tool clearance and workpiece approach. This machine configuration emphasizes reliability and versatility across various machining operations including drilling, boring, face milling, and contouring. The 4,000 RPM spindle speed range is particularly effective for larger diameter cutters and rigid workpiece setups, while the ample table dimensions accommodate complex multi-feature components. The modest 4 HP spindle power, combined with manual tooling, positions this machine as an economical solution for shops requiring flexible, general-purpose vertical milling capacity without high-volume production demands.
