Manford MF-B410VS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Manford MF-B410VS Vertical Machining Center features a 50" x 15" (optionally 58" x 15") durable work table capable of supporting up to 500 lbs. Its vertical spindle uses a #40 taper with a top speed of 3,600 RPM and delivers 5 HP power (30-minute rating), optimized for precision milling tasks. The machine operates on a 3-axis system with travel of 20" in the Y-axis and 19" in the Z-axis, providing reliable work envelope for various parts. Manual tool handling limits it to a single tool with an immediate tool change chip time of zero seconds, suited for manual operation or simple setups. The robust quill diameter and rigid turret head allow swiveling 90 degrees for angular machining, increasing versatility. High-precision ballscrews on XY axes and a heavy-duty saddle support the stability and accuracy of the machine. Hardened, ground sliding ways coated with Turcite-B protect guideways and reduce wear. The spindle drive system uses a powerful 5 HP motor, with options for servo drive on axes for automated feed control. Cooling and protection features include a telescopic steel cover shielding the slideways and ballscrew from dust, and a counterbalance weight device for the milling head. The MF-B410VS design incorporates Meehanite castings for rigidity and vibration damping, ensuring stable cutting performance. Overall dimensions support mid-sized workshop integration, delivering a balance of power, precision, and manual control ideal for general machining operations on medium workpieces. The machine is suited for users requiring a versatile vertical mill with moderate spindle speed and strong manual handling capabilities.
