Bed Mills Universal Bed Type Milling Machine
Bed Mills is a versatile bed type milling machine of better universality, extensively used for milling flat, inclined surfaces and slots on metal parts and is suitable for machining tolls, fixtrues and moulds as well as machine parts of complicated shapes in instruments and meters manufacturing jplants and machinery building works.
Universal Bed type milling machine suits for variety of operations over different materials. There are many benefits such as,Flexibility in performing different milling operations.Featured with vertical travel headstock to perform complicated operation.Material feed speed is comparatively much higher than other types of mill.Bed type milling machine is a heavy weight device suitable for long term usage.
In the bed mills, however, the table moves only perpendicular to the spindle's axis, while the spindle itself moves parallel to its own axis.
Bed Milling Machine, This refers to any milling machine where the spindle is on a pendant that moves up and down to move the cutter into the work, while the table sits on a stout bed that rests on the floor. These are generally more rigid than a knee mill. Gantry mills can be included in this bed mill category.
Classification & Definition of the Milling Machine, what is milling?
FORTUNE PACIFIC 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.
FORTUNE PACIFIC Vertical Milling Machine
The milling machine in which the spindle axis is perpendicular to the table is called vertical milling machine.
FORTUNE PACIFIC 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.
FORTUNE PACIFIC 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.

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.
