2018 HAAS SUPER MINI MILL VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2018 Haas Super Mini Mill is a 3-axis vertical machining center that represents an upgraded version of the standard Mini Mill, featuring a higher spindle speed for improved surface finish and cycle time performance on aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. The machine provides a 16 x 12 x 10 inch work envelope (X, Y, Z travels) paired with an 18 x 16 inch T-slot worktable, matching the footprint of the standard Mini Mill while delivering enhanced spindle performance. The direct-drive spindle operates at up to 10,000 RPM with a 7.5 HP vector drive motor and CAT40 taper, making it compatible with standard job shop tooling. The increased spindle speed relative to the base Mini Mill makes the Super Mini Mill particularly effective for finishing cuts on aluminum and plastic components. High-precision ballscrews on all three axes provide accurate and repeatable positioning across production runs. The machine is controlled by the Haas NGC control, offering an intuitive operator interface, conversational programming assistance, and full G-code compatibility. The rigid cast iron base and column minimize vibration during high-speed cutting, supporting consistent surface finishes. Standard features include a coolant system, chip management, and automatic tool changer. At approximately 3,400 lbs, the Super Mini Mill delivers solid machining performance in a compact, space-efficient package suited to prototype shops, toolrooms, and small-batch production environments.
