Accessories The Micro Mill is a very rigid and precise machine that uses some of the most advanced
techniques compared to its competitors. The Y-axis and Z-axis are supported on 2 1/2 inch
square steel tubing to provide a very solid feel. The leadscrews are all 1/2-20 unlike a lot of
Dealers
machines of similar size that use 1/4 inch leadscrews. TAIG prefers to provide added
Applications mechanical features to allow the mill to be more useful without raising the price. Being an
aerospace manufacturer for over 18 years our machinists know the importance of table backlash compensation and full gib adjustments for wear as employed in the manufacture of the
Starter
Suggestions Micro Mill. Basically, the Micro Mill was designed by machinists and built by machinists.
Overall working accuracy should exceed .0005 in. All machines are sold with a 14 day refund
and a full 2 year factory warranty on all Mill components and accessories.
Metal
Working
The Micro Mill has effortless, chatterless, table and millhead movement due to the unique
Links
design of oversized gibs, ground 'Y' axis steel ways, and a massive carriage assembly. The
ground steel ways on the vertical mill head support provides a very rigid Z-axis and makes the
Micro Mill ready for CNC upgrade if you desire. Our small Mill is really a scaled down
version of a big Mill with manual operation.
This is the machine you don't have to baby. The Micro Mill is a rugged precision instrument
that has plenty of rigidity. It has a life-time ball bearing spindle, coupled with a six speed
positive vee belt drive. Spindle speeds in geometric progression from 525-5200 RPM (CR
version 1000 - 10000 rpm) provide the power to "HOG" 1/8 inch cuts in mild steel or the
speed and precision to "dust" a few tenths (compare that to other mills of similar size on the
market, you can't!).
Other big Mill features include large .001 inch graduations on friction adjustable micrometer
dials for the X,Y,& Z axis. Adjustable gibs provide full compensation for X,Y & Z axis wear.
The spindle head column can rotate from 0 to 180 degrees to provide for special machining
tasks. All this adds up to a BEST VALUE in small Mills.
Should there be any questions regarding specific uses of the Micro Mill please feel free to
