Manford MF-B350VS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a manual tool carrier with a single-tool capacity designed for precise and versatile machining tasks. The rigid worktable measures 50" x 15" with an optional extended length of 58" x 15", supporting a maximum workpiece weight of up to 500 lbs for moderate-sized parts. The vertical spindle is equipped with a #40 taper, delivering up to 4,300 RPM powered by a 5 HP motor rated for 30-minute duty cycles, suitable for a variety of milling operations requiring controlled spindle speeds. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z), with travel distances of approximately 20" in Y and 19" in Z axes; X-axis travel is not specified. The feed and rapid traverse rates are optimized for efficient material removal and workpiece positioning, though specific feed rates are not detailed. The manual tool change ensures simplicity but lacks automation, making this machine ideal for jobs where quick tool switching is not critical. Its design supports vertical milling, drilling, and other machining processes within moderate size and complexity limits, accommodating up to 500 lbs of material and smaller workpieces requiring precision rather than high-speed production. Overall, this machine balances compact work area and spindle power for general-purpose milling applications, suitable for small to medium batch production or repair work in metalworking shops where flexibility and manual control are priorities.
