Produce good surface finishes without tool breakage

Useful for die mold operations that require accuracy, short cycle times and good surface finishes, Makino's V-series vertical machining centers feature a 30,000-rpm spindle and compact footprint.

Machine rigidity and low vibration that result from the core-cooled spindle technology are said to make the machine particularly suited for high speed milling of deep ribs. Therefore, users can penetrate the part without tool breakage. In addition, benchwork on dies and molds can be virtually eliminated because of the quality of surface finishes, says the company.
