Applications
FORTUNE PACIFIC UVHM30A UVHM30C Universal swivel cutter Elevator Milling Machine has reasonable construction and superior machining functions such as drilling, boring, milling of plane, inclined plane and slot, and such functions available by use of the corresponding attachments.Performance Characteristics
With the ability to do either vertical or horizontal milling, this is one of the most versatile milling machines for sell. Even better—the vertical and horizontal spindles each have dedicated motors, so power and ability are not compromised when using either spindle. Convert to the horizontal setup by rotating the headstock 180° on the column and installing either of the two included horizontal arbors. Once in the horizontal configuration, you can do gang milling by installing multiple side and face mills on the arbor at one time, which ultimately can save huge amounts of time. With such a wide range of versatility and features, we think you'll agree that Horizontal & Vertical Knee type Milling machine for sale could be one of the most functional machining centers in any shop!
Classification & Definition of the Milling Machine tool, what is milling?
Horizontal Milling Machine
In horizontal milling machine the axis of rotation of the spindle is horizontal to the table. And due the axis of spindle horizontal, it is called as horizontal milling machine.
Vertical Milling Machine
The milling machine in which the spindle axis is perpendicular to the table is called vertical milling machine.
Knee-Type Milling Machine
The milling machine which has a knee like projection at the middle is called knee-type milling machine. It is characterised by a vertical adjustable work table resting on a saddle supported by a knee.
Ram-Type Milling Machine
A milling machine which has a ram on the top of the column is called ram type milling machine. Generally ram is used in vertical milling machine. It can be moved on the column in transverse direction (i.e. in and out when operated from the knee side).
Horizontal and Vertical Mills
FORTUNE PACIFIC Combo Horizontal and Vertical Mills offer both the capabilities of a Vertical Mill and a Horizontal Mill in one design. Changing the setup from one operation to the other is quick and simple. These mills are equipped with hard-chromed dovetail ways or hardened and ground box ways for superior wear resistance and separate motors drive the vertical spindle and horizontal spindle.
Elevator milling machine
There are universal, horizontal and vertical, etc., mainly used for processing small and medium-sized parts, the most widely used.
Single-column milling machine and single-arm milling machine
The former horizontal milling head can be moved along the column guide rail, and the table can be fed longitudinally; the latter vertical milling head can be moved horizontally along the cantilever rail, and the cantilever can also be adjusted along the column rail. Both are used to machine large parts.
Swivel cutter head ram-type milling machine
The cutter head containing the milling machine spindle is attached to the ram. The cutter head can be swiveled from a vertical spindle position to a horizontal spindle position or can be fixed at any desired angular position between vertical and horizontal. The saddle and knee are hand driven for vertical and cross feed adjustment while the worktable can be either hand or power driven at the operator's choice.
Product usage of the milling machine tools
FORTUNE PACIFIC milling machine is a versatile machine tool that can machine planes (horizontal, vertical), grooves (keyways, T-slots, dovetails, etc.), splitting parts (gears, spline shafts, sprockets) on the milling machine. Spiral surfaces (threads, spiral grooves) and various curved surfaces. In addition, the mill can also be used to process and cut the surface of the rotor and the inner hole. When the milling machine is working, the workpiece is mounted on the workbench or the indexing head and other accessories. The milling cutter rotates as the main motion, supplemented by the feed motion of the worktable or the milling head, and the workpiece can obtain the required machining surface. Due to the multi-edge interrupted cutting, the productivity of the milling machine is high. Simply put, milling machines are machines that can mill, drill and boring workpieces.

Definition of the milling machine tools
FORTUNE PACIFIC milling machine mainly refers to a machine tool that uses a milling cutter to machine various surfaces of a workpiece. Usually, the milling cutter mainly moves in a rotary motion, and the movement of the workpiece and the milling cutter is a feed motion. It can process planes, grooves, and various surfaces, gears, and so on.

Knee Type Milling Machine: Precision Versatility for Industrial Manufacturing
What is a Knee Type Milling Machine?
A knee type milling machine is a fundamental machine tool distinguished by its vertically adjustable worktable mounted on a "knee" casting. This knee moves precisely up and down a fixed column via a screw mechanism, enabling accurate Z-axis positioning crucial for diverse milling operations.
Working Principle
The core principle involves a rotating milling cutter removing material from a workpiece secured to the table. The adjustable knee mechanism allows controlled vertical movement (Z-axis), while the table provides longitudinal (X-axis) and transverse (Y-axis) travel. This 3-axis control facilitates complex machining of flat, angular, and contoured surfaces.
Key Applications
- Tool & Die Making: Precision molds, jigs, fixtures
- Prototyping: Rapid part development
- Maintenance Shops: Equipment repair & part fabrication
- General Machining: Slotting, drilling, facing, keyway cutting
- Aerospace & Automotive: Component manufacturing
Distinctive Features & Advantages
- Vertical Adjustability: Knee movement enables quick workpiece height changes
- Rigid Construction: Robust cast iron frame ensures stability
- Manual & CNC Options: Traditional control or computer numerical precision
- Turret Design (Common): Swiveling milling head for multi-angle machining
- Wide Workpiece Compatibility: Handles various sizes and shapes
Primary Classifications
- Vertical Knee Mill: Spindle axis perpendicular to table (most common)
- Horizontal Knee Mill: Spindle axis parallel to table (for heavy stock removal)
- Universal Knee Mill: Table swivels for complex angular cuts
- Turret Mill: Head rotates on turret for flexible positioning
Main Components
- Base & Column: Primary support structure
- Knee: Vertically moving saddle supporting the table
- Saddle & Table: Hold and position the workpiece (X/Y axes)
- Milling Head: Houses spindle, motor, and quill (Z-axis)
- Arbor/Spindle: Rotating shaft holding cutting tools
- Controls: Manual handwheels or CNC interface
Evolution & Industry Significance
Since their development in the late 19th century, knee-and-column mills revolutionized machining. The iconic Bridgeport design (1938) popularized the turret style. While CNC machining centers dominate high-volume production, knee mills remain indispensable for flexibility, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness in job shops, schools, and repair facilities worldwide.
