The DMG Mori Milltap 700 is a compact CNC drilling, tapping, and milling center with a reputation for speed and reliability that has made it a staple in high-volume, high-mix machining environments. This 2013 model is a 3-axis vertical machining center built around a BT30 spindle rated to 10,000 RPM and a 15 HP spindle motor, delivering the fast acceleration and quick tool engagement that small-part drilling and tapping work demands. It offers travels of 27.6 x 16.5 x 15 inches (X by Y by Z), a 33 x 16.5 inch table with an 882 lb maximum load, and rapid traverse rates of 2,362 IPM across all axes to minimize non-cut time. Tool changes run through a 15-tool carousel-style automatic tool changer, and the machine is controlled by a Siemens 840D CNC with a 10.4 inch TFT display and a Sinumerik interface with full G-code programming. Configured as a 3-axis machine, the Milltap 700 is also compatible with 4th and 5th axis additions, giving shops a path to expand into more complex, multi-sided work as their needs grow.
Compared with earlier-generation compact machining centers such as the Deckel Maho DMC 635 V, the Milltap 700 is a clear step forward in the drilling and tapping segment. Where older small-format vertical mills relied on belt-driven spindles, slower rapids, and previous-generation controls, the Milltap 700 is engineered around an integrated high-speed BT30 spindle, 2,362 IPM rapids, and a fast wheel-type tool changer that shortens chip-to-chip time on the short-cycle jobs these machines are built for. Its Siemens 840D solutionline control brings modern conversational programming, faster block processing, and a larger, clearer 10.4 inch display than the panels found on prior-generation machines. The result is a faster, more rigid, and more capable platform than the compact mills it replaced - one that lets a shop cut cycle times on drilling and tapping work while keeping larger, more expensive machining centers free for the jobs that truly need them.
