Manford SP460VS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 52.000 inches in length by 11.000 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 300 lbs. The spindle is oriented vertically and equipped with an R8 taper, with an optional #30 taper for added versatility. The spindle delivers a maximum speed of 4,500 RPM and is powered by a 3.0 HP motor (30-minute rating), ensuring strong performance for a wide range of milling tasks. Tooling is managed manually, with a single tool carrier and no automatic tool change capability, making it ideal for shops prioritizing simplicity and direct control. The machine operates on three axes—X, Y, and Z—with Y and Z axes each providing 15.300 inches of travel, allowing for substantial work envelope flexibility. The absence of a U axis indicates a standard configuration focused on core milling operations. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are not specified, but the design supports efficient manual operation. The machine’s construction emphasizes rigidity and precision, suitable for general-purpose milling, prototyping, and light production work. Its manual tool change system ensures quick and straightforward setup, while the vertical spindle and R8 taper compatibility make it compatible with a broad range of standard tooling. This machining center is well-suited for workshops requiring reliable, hands-on milling capability with solid work support and versatile spindle options.
