Baileigh VM-942E-1 9" × 42" Step Pulley Vertical Milling Machine
Are you running an industrial shop, tool room, or fabrication environment that needs a vertical knee mill with a 2-axis DRO and 8 selectable speeds on 220V single-phase power?
What if that mill gave you 60 to 2,760 RPM across 8 speeds, an R8 spindle, dovetail slide ways with way covers, and an integrated coolant system on a 9-inch by 42-inch table?
Meet the Baileigh VM-942E-1, a 9-inch by 42-inch step pulley vertical milling machine built for industrial shops, tool rooms, and serious fabrication environments that need reliable milling performance with precision positioning.
With the VM-942E-1, you get a 3 HP motor on 220V single-phase power, a 2-axis digital readout, an R8 spindle taper, and solid castings with dovetail slide ways built for long-term shop use.
When the VM-942E-1 is set up for your job, you get accurate, repeatable milling results with a machine built to hold up to demanding daily shop use.

Baileigh VM-942E-1 for Industrial Step Pulley Vertical Knee Mill Work
8 Spindle Speeds Cover 60 to 2,760 RPM
The step pulley drive delivers 8 selectable spindle speeds from 60 to 2,760 RPM, giving operators the range to match cutting conditions across milling, drilling, tapping, boring, and reaming on a variety of materials. This speed range suits slow heavy cuts on steel and faster passes on aluminum and softer stock without a variable frequency drive.
2-Axis DRO Improves Positioning Accuracy and Setup Speed
The 2-axis digital readout provides accurate X/Y positioning feedback and reduces setup errors on close-tolerance work. Precise positioning reduces the time spent measuring and adjusting between operations, keeping the machine productive through jobs that require multiple setups.
R8 Spindle and Dovetail Ways Support Reliable Daily Milling
The R8 spindle taper accepts widely available common tooling without specialty adapters, keeping tooling costs low and setup straightforward. Dovetail slide ways with way covers provide durable slide guidance and protect the ways from chips and coolant during extended machining sessions.
Coolant System and Halogen Work Light Support Extended Use
The integrated coolant system manages heat and chip control during cutting, protecting tool life and improving surface finish on longer machining runs. The halogen work light illuminates the cutting zone so operators can monitor the cut and follow layout lines clearly during extended machining sessions.
