2000 Hardinge VMC-600 CNC Vertical Mill

The 2000 Hardinge VMC-600 CNC Vertical Mill delivers proven American engineering in a compact yet capable format. With travels of 24 inches in X, 20 inches in Y, and 20 inches in Z, it supports parts up to medium size with consistent rigidity and thermal stability. The 15-horsepower CAT-40 spindle running at 8000 RPM ensures smooth power delivery for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, while the 20-tool automatic changer provides steady workflow continuity. Its 29.45 inch by 20 inch table and 6.1 to 26.1 inch spindle-to-table range accommodate a wide array of tooling setups and fixtures with ease.

When compared to smaller bench-class VMCs, the VMC-600 distinguishes itself with stronger axis drives and 472 IPM rapid rates—providing quicker positioning without sacrificing accuracy. The Hardinge build quality, coupled with its clean 40-taper design and balanced spindle, allows machinists to achieve repeatable precision on complex production runs and tooling applications alike.
