Palmgren 9680167 80167 9 X 49" VERTICAL TURRET MILL

Palmgren turret mills are vertical milling machines, meaning the spindle--the area that performs the cuts--is positioned vertically and remains stationary during the entire cutting process. They are the most versatile type of milling machine because they can create a wide array of shapes.

Like a drill press, a turret mill has a quill unit that allows the table to move up and down to create shallow or deep cuts and create more complex parts. Using the quill, and by moving a part under the table called the knee, is the only way operators are able to make vertical cuts in the metal. Turret mills are best used for small and medium-sized jobs.

Features and benefits of Palmgren turret mills include:

• Variable-speed drive makes spindle speed selection easy
• Heavy-duty spline motor drive system ensures maximum power transmission in heavy cuts
• Vent air cooling system brings air around, through, and over the variable speed drive reducing heat expansion and extending bearing life
• Heavy-duty spindle brake for quick manual stops
• Forward/Reverse drum switch
• Fine down-feed hand wheel for accurate manual boring
• Dual-tapered roller spindle bearing provides maximum spindle rigidity and accuracy
• Draw bar
• Standard quill power feed and automatic micrometer depth stop
• Heavy-duty extended travel ram
• Turret rotates 360 degrees
• Milling head rotates 90 degrees either side of center and can be tilted up to 45 degrees forward and backward from center
• Internally ribbed, box column for maximum machine stiffness
• Precision-ground and T-slotted table for an accurate, square working surface
• Multiple table, knee, saddle, and ram locks provide maximum stiffness and rigidity
• Flame-hardened to RC 50-54, ground, and hand-scraped ways provide ideal lubrication coverage and retention on way surfaces
• Way surfaces are also hand-scraped to ensure full bearing support for maximum machine rigidity and vibration dampening
• One-shot lubrication system delivers metered oil to slideways and leadscrews for long life and reduced maintenance.
