Gromax MS942 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **42" x 9" table** capable of handling workpieces up to **200 lbs**. The spindle is vertically oriented with an **R8 taper** and operates at a maximum speed of **5,440 RPM**, powered by a **3.00 HP motor (30-minute rating)**. The tooling system is manual, supporting a single tool at a time, with no automatic tool change. The machine has three axes with **12" travel in both Y and Z directions**, and an unspecified X travel. Rapid traverse and feed rates are provided for the Y and Z axes, suitable for precise movement control during machining. The R8 spindle taper, with an approximate taper angle of 16.26°, is a standard design widely used for securing tooling via a drawbar and collets, ensuring rigidity and compatibility with various milling tools. This machine’s manual tool setup and moderate spindle power make it well-suited for small to medium machining tasks requiring vertical milling, drilling, and cutting with reliable accuracy. The table size and axis travels indicate applications in precise component machining requiring moderate workpiece sizes and weights. Overall, this configuration balances versatility and efficiency for workshop and light industrial uses.
