HM-32 - Mill Drill - Belt Drive (240V)
Description
This is a rugged and well made machine with good capacities and plenty of power, a good choice for a serious home engineer.
The belt driven head provides a useful range of 12 speeds, 100-2150rpm and is quiet in operation, the head can be re-positioned on the column with the aid of a handle driven rack and pinion drive.
The table has T slots to allow the work to be directly mounting to table, or in a milling vice, with two large diameter control hand wheels with metric calibrations for the longitudinal axis.
The fine down feed control can be locked firmly in position when milling and the mill also features an easy-to-read depth stop.
Optional power feed provides smooth variable speed drive to longitudinal travel

WARNING. DO NOT, under any circumstances use a hammer to drive out the Morse taper!!!!
I used to own one of these Mills and it did a great job for a start. But, over a period of time the machine began to chatter when it was cutting and no matter what I did, the problem grew worse. I kept thinking the taper was at fault?
Then, the penny dropped! I wondered if by hitting the draw bar with a hammer (and the taper, being a slow, taper jammed in very tight) if I was putting dents in the lower taper bearing? I dismantled the quill assembly and lo and behold, the lower bearing had "more flats in it than South Perth"!
One thing I found was that the slot provided in my machine's quill for a tapered drift to drive out Morse tapers (by the way, the best way for most of us to get the tapered shanks out) needed to be lengthened. A friend was asked to do this and was done and the whole thing reassembled.
Two new bearing assemblies later and guess what? The machine was as good as new. I also made a new tapered drift to get the morse tapers out of the quill! I was a very happy camper. No more hitting that draw bar.
Still sold the mill drill though, I now own Bridgeport clone. Love that even more. Actually, no contest really!

[@wrenchesinthegears]

I have a mt4 and cant see any ither way to get it out

[@woozhi9218]

The only ways to drive out the morse taper is with a rubber mallet and give a sharp tap from the side or use the drawbar to tap from above

[@plasticbag75]

Can these mills machine mild steel or harder materials

[@peterpocock9062]

@@plasticbag75 yes they can, however the appropriate cutters are the key to success. I had a selection of high speed steel cutters and some carbide insert types. The one major fault with this type of machine is when you need to lift the head up during a job, you will loose alignment. Other than that and the quill modification it can be a useful tool.

[@autonerecords1410]

just picked up a 32-b. Great machine. Read the manual. It reccommends under no circumstance use hammer. Read the other comments so i see how that can be a prob. The manual also says to fill up the oil. However i cant for the life of me find an add oil plug ? the quill has sealed bearings? are they meaning cutter fluid? It has a plastic guard and flashier switch panel to the 32 but no snazzy mill vise and only a 50mm face cutter. Over all though its a beauty for the price and i already have great milling vises. Great staff and service.Very happy.

Do you have a video on where to put the dro scales?

[@ogaugeclockwork4407]

These mill drills are great, however purchasers should think about models with a plastic belt guard. The sheet steel ones are very noisy when cutting.

Do you have market in India?

no

Sir price

[@alleznape]

No R8 taper? No thanks.

[@Machineryhouse1930]

it has a 3MT taper Not R8

[@alleznape]

@@Machineryhouse1930 R8 is the standard. 3MT on a mill is not acceptable to me.

[@Machineryhouse1930]

alleznape we have many milling machines with different configuration tapers all on our website, National Taper NT30, NT40, NT50 that offer a much better drive capabilities than R8. Please visit website www.machineryhouse.com.au for more details, thank you
