2021 Tormach 1100MX CNC Vertical Mill

The 2021 Tormach 1100MX CNC Vertical Mill is a premium-level benchtop-style machining center, designed for professionals requiring accuracy, expandability, and ease of use. With X/Y/Z travels of 18" × 11" × 16.25", this mill offers a generous working envelope for its footprint, while maintaining a weight of just 1,600 lbs—allowing installation in shops with space or floor load limitations. A BT30 spindle powered by a 2 HP motor achieves 10,000 RPM, supported by a poly-V belt drive transmission that provides consistent torque across speed ranges. This machine excels in cutting aluminum, steels, plastics, and tool steels using the rigid tapping, thread milling, and compression tapping capabilities built into its PathPilot control system.

The unit includes a 10-pocket automatic tool changer, Haimer probe, passive probing kit, and the MicroARC 4th Axis—adding rotary machining capabilities such as cylindrical engraving and indexed drilling. The cast iron frame, hand-scraped way surfaces, and PTFE/acetyl-bonded slideways enhance damping and guide stability, while the auto-oiler keeps precision motion smooth and reliable. With maximum feed rates of 300 IPM (X/Y) and 230 IPM (Z), the 1100MX is both agile and precise, and operates on standard 230V single-phase power with a 20A breaker—perfect for small workshops or institutions.
