Vertical Lifting Table Milling Machines — CNC Models

T.R. Wigglesworth carries precision CNC knee mills from Clausing, a well-regarded American brand known for rigidity and reliability. Other leading manufacturers in the broader CNC machine tool space include KENT International USA and DAH LIH — both of which T.R. Wigglesworth is an authorized dealer for, covering a wide range of machining requirements.

A CNC knee mill features a vertically adjustable knee for Z-axis positioning and can be operated manually, semi-automatically, or in full 2- or 3-axis CNC mode. Standard vertical mills typically lack this knee adjustment flexibility. CNC knee mills like the Clausing models support G2 Acu-Rite controls with optional ballscrews, offering programmable feed rates up to 100 in/min.

Clausing CNC knee mills offer spindle speeds ranging from 60 to 4,300 RPM on manual variable speed models and 50 to 5,000 RPM on electronic inverter variable speed models. This wide range accommodates diverse materials and operations — from heavy roughing cuts at low speeds to fine finishing passes at higher RPM settings.

The Clausing CNC Knee Mill uses the G2 Acu-Rite Mill Power Control system, supporting 2-axis (X, Y) or optional 3-axis (X, Y, Z-Quill) operation with ballscrews. The control allows the machine to function as a manual DRO machine, in semi-automatic mode, or as a fully programmed CNC machine with feed rates up to 100 in/min.

Clausing knee mills are available with table sizes ranging from 9 x 49 inches up to 11 x 58 inches across CNC models, and a 10 x 54 inch table on the 3VS08 manual model. All tables feature hardened and ground surfaces with three T-slots, supporting workpiece loads up to 665 lbs on applicable models.

All Clausing knee mills come with a one-year warranty backed by the Clausing Service Center. Support includes access to over 80,000 parts with 95% of orders shipped within 24 hours, phone support from highly qualified technicians, and on-site service availability. T.R. Wigglesworth also provides delivery, installation, and operator training services.
