2018 Haas MiniMill-EDU Vertical Mill

The 2018 Haas MiniMill-EDU Vertical Mill provides 16-inch X, 12-inch Y, and 10-inch Z travels on a 36 x 12-inch T-slot table with 500-pound load capacity. It features a CAT-40 spindle taper at 6000 RPM driven by a 7.5-horsepower vector motor, paired with a 10-station carousel tool changer for efficient job changes. Rapid traverses reach 600 inches per minute on all axes, and spindle-to-table clearance ranges from 4 to 14 inches. Operator-focused features include programmable coolant, chip auger, rigid tapping, and high-speed machining.

Compared with standard Haas Mini Mills, the EDU model is designed as a training and entry-level machine but still incorporates industrial-grade rigidity and performance. Its compact footprint and accessible control interface make it ideal for technical schools or light-production environments, bridging the gap between educational CNC equipment and full production vertical machining centers.
