The BBMM40HC is a true floor-standing gearhead milling machine built for serious metalworking. With a rigid cast-iron structure, R8 spindle, and professional-grade drivetrain, this machine is designed for accuracy, power, and long-term reliability.

The oversized column and massive base provide exceptional stability and vibration damping. This rigid foundation ensures cleaner cuts, better surface finishes, and consistent accuracy even during heavier milling operations.

The gearhead transmission delivers efficient torque transfer with less vibration and no belt slippage. Easy-access forward and reverse controls paired with a magnetic safety switch give you total confidence and control at the machine.

The large cast-iron cross table offers smooth, controlled travel in both axes with precise micrometer dials. Perfect for accurate slotting, facing, drilling, and layout work where precision truly matters.

The head tilts to allow angled drilling and milling operations without complex setups. This flexibility opens the door to more advanced machining tasks while maintaining rigidity and alignment.
