Willis Machinery & Tools 1250II-3CNC VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **50" x 12" table** capable of handling workpieces up to **1,100 lbs**, providing a stable platform for medium to large workpieces. It includes **3 axes of travel** with a maximum travel of **16" in Y** and **5" in Z**, supporting precise machining operations in a vertical orientation. The spindle is vertically oriented with a **#40 taper**, running up to a **top speed of 4,200 RPM** and powered by a **5 HP motor rated for 30 minutes**, suitable for a range of milling and drilling tasks. The machine does not include a tool carrier and lacks a 4th axis or U axis, providing a straightforward, rigid setup optimized for vertical milling. Rapid traverse speeds and maximum feed rates are configured to balance machining efficiency and accuracy. The overall design emphasizes durability and moderate heavy-duty use without advanced automation elements like tool changers. This machine suits applications requiring substantial table size and workpiece weight capacity combined with reliable vertical spindle performance typical for manufacturing, tooling workshops, or repair environments.
