Gromax MV942 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **42" x 9" table** capable of supporting workpieces up to **200 lbs**, suitable for moderate-sized precision milling tasks. It has a **vertical spindle with R8 taper**, allowing compatibility with a wide range of common tooling. The spindle is powered by a **3 HP motor** rated for 30 minutes, reaching speeds up to **4,200 RPM**, providing adequate power and speed for various cutting operations. Tooling is manual with a single tool holder and zero tool change chip time, optimized for setups where tool changes are infrequent. The machine operates on a **3-axis system**, with axis travels of 12" in Y and 5" in Z, while X-axis travel is unspecified. Maximum feed and rapid traverse rates are implicit but typically match industrial standards for this size. The overall construction supports stable milling with a moderately sized work envelope designed for precision work on metals and other materials. The R8 spindle taper ensures precise tool holding, essential for high accuracy and minimal runout. This vertical mill is ideal for tasks requiring manual control, light to medium milling duties, drilling, and light surfacing. Its compact table and spindle speed range make it suitable for job shops, tooling rooms, or educational environments balancing space, power, and precision. Robust enough to handle 200 lbs, it is best applied for parts and prototype fabrication with standard R8 tooling compatibility.
