Designed using 4 hardened square ways the VMC-2855QP, VMC-3560QP & VMC-3572QP machine bases provide the most rigid support for X axis and Y axis loading. The oversized column footprint provides maximum support for both the standard 20 HP belt driven spindle or the optional higher torque 30 HP spindle with 2 speed ZF gearbox. A large inside work area provides ample room for work piece loading and unloading.
