Overview

The X6325 Vertical Turret Milling Machine is a versatile conventional milling machine designed for precision metal cutting, drilling and general workshop machining.

Its turret-style vertical milling head can swivel and tilt to different angles, allowing operators to machine horizontal surfaces, vertical surfaces, slots, keyways, inclined surfaces and complex component features without repeatedly repositioning the workpiece.

The X6325 typically uses a 254 × 1270 mm worktable, providing sufficient working area for small and medium-sized metal components. Typical travel capacities are approximately 850 mm longitudinal, 400 mm cross and 400 mm vertical, while the ram provides approximately 470 mm of additional positioning adjustment.

The machine combines manual flexibility with optional productivity upgrades such as a Digital Readout (DRO), power feed, coolant system and automatic quill feed, making it suitable for both individual component machining and small-batch production.

Unlike a CNC machining center, the X6325 gives operators direct control over the cutting process, making it particularly practical for repair workshops, tool rooms, prototype work and applications where workpiece designs change frequently.


Key Features

Heavy-Duty Knee-Type Structure

The X6325 uses a rigid cast-iron knee-type construction designed to provide stable support during metal cutting.

The heavy machine base, column, saddle and knee help reduce vibration during:

  • Face milling
  • End milling
  • Slot cutting
  • Drilling
  • Boring
  • Tapping
  • Precision finishing

This rigid structure helps maintain machining accuracy and surface quality during demanding workshop operations.


Swiveling Vertical Turret Head

One of the main advantages of a turret milling machine is its highly adjustable milling head.

The X6325 head can typically swivel approximately 90° left and right, while selected configurations also provide approximately 45° front-to-back tilt.

This allows operators to perform:

  • Angular milling
  • Inclined hole drilling
  • Bevel machining
  • Side milling
  • Complex fixture machining

without extensively repositioning the workpiece.


Large 254 × 1270 mm Worktable

The standard X6325 configuration commonly uses a 254 × 1270 mm worktable.

Larger 254 × 1370 mm tables are also available on selected configurations.

The large table provides sufficient space for:

  • Machine vises
  • Rotary tables
  • Dividing heads
  • Fixtures
  • Multiple small components

Wide X/Y/Z Travel

Typical X6325 axis travel provides approximately:

  • X-axis: 820–850 mm
  • Y-axis: 380–400 mm
  • Z-axis: approx. 400 mm

depending on machine configuration.

This provides sufficient machining range for most general workshop and tool-room applications.


High-Speed Vertical Spindle

Standard X6325 turret mills commonly provide approximately 66–4540 rpm at 50 Hz, with multiple mechanical speed selections.

Variable-speed spindle configurations are also available on selected versions.
