Vertical Milling Heads for Sale

The Clausing knee mill lineup supports multiple spindle tapers including R8, NMTB 30, and NMTB 40, depending on the model selected. The R8 taper is standard on the 3VS08 manual model, while CNC variants offer broader compatibility. Taper selection affects tooling interchangeability, so choosing the right one for your existing tooling inventory is important.

The Clausing manual knee mill (3VS08) provides a variable spindle speed range of 60–4,300 RPM via a sheave pulley drive. CNC models offer either 60–4,300 RPM or 50–5,000 RPM depending on configuration — electronic inverter variable speed is available on select models, giving operators finer control for both heavy roughing and fine finishing operations.

Yes. The Clausing 3VS08 features an articulating milling head that rotates 90 degrees left and right, and 45 degrees up and down via a worm gear mechanism. This allows compound angle setups without repositioning the workpiece, making it well-suited for complex parts in aerospace, mold machining, and precision manufacturing applications.

Table sizes range from 9 x 49 inches up to 11 x 58 inches across the CNC knee mill models, while the manual 3VS08 features a 10 x 54 inch table. All tables include hardened and ground surfaces with T-slots (0.638 inch width) and load capacities up to 665 lbs, supporting a wide range of workpiece sizes.

All Clausing knee mills come with a one-year warranty backed by the Clausing Service Center, which stocks over 80,000 parts with 95% of orders shipped within 24 hours. Highly qualified technicians are available for both phone-based and on-site support, ensuring minimal downtime for your machining operations.

Yes. Clausing knee mills use Meehanite castings for superior rigidity and vibration dampening, with hardened and ground X, Y, and Z ways and Turcite B-coated slideways for extended wear life. These features make them well-suited for demanding tasks in professional machine shops, precision manufacturing, aerospace, medical device production, and heavy industrial environments.
