Victor 829 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a compact work table measuring 23.500" length by 23.720" width, with a maximum workpiece capacity of 1,000 pounds. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing an MT #4 taper, capable of reaching a maximum rotational speed of 1,500 RPM with a 2.00 HP motor rated for 30-minute continuous operation. The tooling system employs manual tool carrier configuration with single-tool capability, eliminating the need for automated tool changeover. The machine operates on a two-axis control system, providing X-axis travel of 20.880 inches and Z-axis (vertical) travel of 8.250 inches, enabling precision positioning and depth control for various milling operations. This configuration is well-suited for manual machining tasks, small batch production, and precision work on smaller components. The modest spindle speed of 1,500 RPM combined with the manual tooling system indicates this machine is designed for conventional milling applications rather than high-speed production. The compact footprint and 1,000-pound workpiece capacity make it ideal for job shops, tool and die operations, and educational facilities requiring reliable, straightforward milling capabilities without the complexity of CNC automation or high-speed machining requirements.
