Baileigh VM-942-1 9" × 42" Variable Speed Vertical Milling Machine
Are you running a fabrication shop or industrial machine environment that needs a variable speed vertical mill with powered X, Y, and Z axes and a 3-axis DRO on 220V single-phase power?
What if that mill gave you infinitely adjustable speed from 80 to 2,700 RPM, an NT40 spindle taper, powered axis feeds, and an integrated coolant system on a 9-inch by 42-inch precision table?
Meet the Baileigh VM-942-1, a 9-inch by 42-inch variable speed vertical milling machine built for professional fabrication shops and industrial machine environments that need precise, controlled milling performance every day.
With the VM-942-1, you get a 3 HP motor on 220V single-phase power, a 3-axis digital readout, square dovetail slide ways with way covers, and powered X, Y, and Z axis feeds that reduce operator fatigue on longer jobs.
When the VM-942-1 is set up for your job, you get accurate, repeatable milling results with a machine built for demanding daily industrial shop use.
Baileigh VM-942-1 for Variable Speed Industrial Vertical Milling Work
Infinitely Variable Speed from 80 to 2,700 RPM
The VM-942-1 adjusts spindle speed infinitely from 80 to 2,700 RPM, letting operators dial in the exact cutting rate for the material and operation at hand. This continuous variable control suits both slow heavy cuts on steel and faster finishing passes on aluminum and softer stock without stepping through fixed pulley positions.
Powered X, Y, and Z Axis Feeds Improve Control and Reduce Fatigue
Powered movement on the X, Y, and Z axes delivers smooth, controlled feed rates during milling operations, reducing the manual effort and fatigue that comes with hand-feeding on longer jobs. This powered feed system also improves surface finish consistency on facing and profile work where steady feed rate directly affects the result.
3-Axis DRO and NT40 Spindle Support Precision Setup
The 3-axis digital readout provides accurate X, Y, and Z positioning feedback, reducing setup errors and speeding up machining on close-tolerance work. The NT40 spindle taper offers broad tooling compatibility for fabrication shops that run a variety of milling and drilling operations from the same machine.
Square Dovetail Ways and Integrated Coolant Support Daily Use
Square dovetail slide ways with way covers provide durable, accurate slide guidance and protect the ways from chips and coolant during extended machining sessions. The integrated coolant system with catch tray manages heat and chip control during cutting, protecting tool life and keeping the work area clean through long production runs.
