The Sharp VH-3-SMD is a highly versatile and rugged knee-type milling machine that combines both vertical and horizontal milling capabilities. Its core benefit is the ability to switch between the two spindles: a 5 HP NST 40 vertical head with variable speeds from 55 to 3600 RPM and a separate 75 HP NST 50 geared head for horizontal milling. This dual-spindle design allows for various milling operations on a single workpiece without the loss of accuracy that comes from reclamping. The machine is built on hardened and ground box ways for maximum stability and minimal deflection under heavy cutting. It features a large 5393-inch x 1181-inch table with a long longitudinal travel of 3937 inches. The built-in gearbox delivers automatic feeds and rapids for the table saddle and knee, increasing production efficiency. For vertical operations, the quill movement is easily controlled with a lever for boring and a joystick for tapping. The VH-3-SMD is an exceptional solution for job shops and toolrooms requiring the flexibility of two machine types in one heavy-duty footprint.
