10″ Tabletop Mill with Zero Adjustable Handwheels
-
Product Description
The 5500-series tabletop milling machine is a Model 5000-series mill upgraded to include zero adjustable handwheels in place of the standard non-resettable handwheels. These tabletop mills feature a solid 10″ (254mm) aluminum base, precision machined dovetailed slides with adjustable gibs, permanently lubricated spindle bearings, adjustable preload anti-backlash feed screws on the X- and Y-axes, and many other features found only on the best commercial machines.
Zero adjustable handwheels allow the user to reset the handwheel to a zero reading at any time without moving the leadscrew. This makes dialing in the next dimension easier, as you are starting from zero each time. It also helps eliminate math errors. This is a feature normally found on expensive full-size machines but not often available on a machine of this size and price. The 5500/5510 tabletop mill combines the compact size and economy of our basic mill with the luxury of adjustable handwheels.
Our tabletop mill is perfect for the customer looking for a mini milling machine to make small, precision parts. All our milling machines are made in the USA, and our customer service is second to none. Although our machines are small, they can produce high-quality precision parts. Our 10″ tabletop mill will not only cut wood and plastic but is also rigid and accurate enough to cut aluminum and steel parts. This mini mill is a desktop-size machine with full-size machine precision and accuracy.
Notes on ordering a metric mill
Most of our cutting tools, like center drills, are manufactured in a fractional size. If you have a metric machine with metric holders, like collets or end mill holders, you will need to order fractional holders to accommodate our cutting tools.
- A powerful 90V DC motor with electronic speed controller
- 10″ base
- 2″ (51mm) resettable, zero adjustable handwheels on the X- and Y-axes, and one 2-1/2″ (63mm) resettable, zero adjustable handwheel on the Z-axis. Each handwheel has laser-engraved aluminum handwheel collars
- 2.75″ (70 mm) x 13.0″ (330 mm) table with two T-slots
- Pulleys, drive belt, three hexagonal keys, spindle bars, gib removal tool, eight-foot three-wire power cord, and instruction manual
- Oil reservoirs on the X/Y axes and the Z axis help keep critical parts lubricated. These were initially developed for CNC machines that run constantly for hours on end but can benefit manual machines as well.
- Brass leadscrew cover that keeps chips off the rear of the Y-axis leadscrew.
