The BT-40 taper spindle operates at speeds up to 8,000 RPM with a 7.5 HP motor, suitable for milling, drilling, and tapping in steel, aluminum, and cast iron. The machine is equipped with the Fanuc 21M CNC control, providing G-code programming, canned cycles, and rigid tapping capability. Machine weight is approximately 9,240 pounds. The FM1 is well-suited to job shops and production cells requiring compact, reliable vertical machining capacity at a moderate price point, backed by the strong Mori Seiki mechanical heritage and Fanuc control serviceability.
