WILLIS MACHINERY & TOOLS MICROCUT 1400 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Willis Machinery & Tools Microcut 1400 Horizontal Machining Center is designed for precision horizontal turning and milling operations with moderate workpiece capacity. It features a single main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 8.63 inches and a maximum turning length of 40 inches, accommodating parts up to 14 inches in maximum swing diameter. The spindle is equipped with an 8-inch diameter chuck, delivering 5 HP power and a maximum speed of 2,000 RPM, suitable for medium-duty machining tasks. The machine operates on two axes—X and Z—with 8.25 inches of X-axis travel and a standard 30 inches of Z-axis travel, upgradeable to 40 inches to enhance machining length capacity. The primary tool carrier is a slide with a single simultaneous cutting tool capability, allowing focused, high-precision cutting actions. Its overall construction supports stable and reliable operation, ideal for moderately sized components requiring fine horizontal machining. This makes the Microcut 1400 a versatile choice for shops focusing on precise lathe and machining center functionality with an emphasis on horizontal spindle orientation. The machine’s specifications reflect a balance between compact design and operational efficiency for turning and milling in a horizontal machine center format.
