SB1027F 9" x 48" EVS 3 HP Turret Mill with DRO

A fully-loaded South Bend knee mill.

The South Bend 9" x 48" 3 HP Turret Mill features 3-axis table movement with built-in longitudinal power feed.

Electronic variable speed (EVS) allows for on-the-fly speed adjustments–no need for belt changes.

The head is mounted on a wide-dovetail movable ram with 13" of travel on the column and 360° rotating capability. The head itself can swivel 90° left/right or 45° forward/back for positioning in nearly any setup.

A Fagor 3-axis digital readout (DRO) reads down to a 0.0002" resolution for repeatable, accurate milling operations.

Quality Allen-Bradley® electrical components and attention to detail provide dependable electrical control of the powered movements.

The saddle and knee ways are hand-scraped and have been coated with Turcite®-B Slydway® for smooth, ultra-precise movement.

And finally, this milling machine comes with a circulating coolant system with the pump and reservoir in the column base.

The complete and easy-to-read SB1027F manual provides full instructions on how to assemble and maintain your mill.

Parts for the mill may be available online and shipped from the South Bend parts warehouse in Springfield, MO.
