Mighty MV-6 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **54" x 13" work table** capable of supporting up to **1,500 lbs** of workpiece weight, suitable for medium-duty machining tasks. It operates with a **vertical spindle** equipped with a **#40 taper**, delivering a maximum spindle speed of **3,850 RPM** powered by a **5 HP motor** (rated for 30 minutes). The spindle’s manual tool carrier supports a single tool with zero seconds tool change chip time, indicating manual tool changes without automatic tool changing capability. The machine controls motion across **3 axes** with travels of **40" (X)**, **20" (Y)**, and **5" (Z)**, each providing a maximum feed rate of **150 inches per minute** and a rapid traverse speed of **250 inches per minute**. There is no U-axis included. These travel ranges and feed rates make it appropriate for precision milling and drilling of moderately sized parts. The machine’s robust table size and 1,500 lb load capacity combined with a moderately powered #40 taper vertical spindle and manual tooling make it well-suited for jobs requiring medium workpiece size and weight with typical vertical milling operations rather than high-speed or automated machining. The relatively modest spindle speed aligns it with conventional milling tasks, rather than high-speed finishing, and manual tool changes emphasize its use in setups where flexibility and operator control are prioritized over automation. This configuration is ideal for general-purpose vertical milling with moderate precision and manual control.
