TURBO MICRO TMD 100 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Turbo Micro TMD 100 is a compact bench-top vertical machining center engineered for precision micro-drilling applications. This single-axis machine features a modest 4.000" × 4.000" work table with a vertical spindle orientation, making it ideal for small-scale production and prototype work. The machine is equipped with a Jacobs taper spindle offering dual speed capabilities—a standard 9,500 RPM configuration with an optional 17,000 RPM setting to accommodate varying material requirements and tool specifications. With a 1.00 HP (30-minute rating), the spindle delivers adequate power for micro-cutting operations on delicate components. The TMD 100 utilizes manual tool changing with a single-tool capacity, featuring instantaneous chip-to-chip transitions. The Z-axis provides 1.250" of vertical travel, enabling controlled depth operations on miniature workpieces. The machine's single-axis configuration streamlines operation while maintaining rigidity essential for maintaining tolerances in micro-precision work. Its compact footprint and bench-top design facilitate easy integration into existing shop environments where space constraints exist. The combination of manual tool handling, limited axis travel, and modest spindle power positions the TMD 100 as an entry-level or secondary machine suitable for job shops, small manufacturers, and educational institutions requiring reliable micro-machining capabilities without substantial capital investment or facility modifications.
