8" X 29" MILLING DRILLING MACHINE 2HP

Built for workshops that need both milling and drilling capability in one machine, the BBMM31 delivers a combination of power, adjustability, and precision. Its 2 HP, 220V single-phase motor drives an R8 spindle with 12 speeds ranging from 150 to 2,500 RPM, giving users flexibility across a range of machining tasks.

The spindle assembly is supported by four heavy-duty tapered roller bearings to help maintain accuracy under load, while large micrometer dials on the table handwheels are graduated in 0.001" increments for fine positioning. The 360° swiveling head can be adjusted to suit different workpiece heights and setup requirements.

Safety features include a magnetic line interruption switch that requires manual restart after a power loss, along with a safety guard and pulley cover equipped with limit switch protection. The machine also includes a face cutter, chuck, angle vise, safety guard, and product manual.

For additional convenience, the BBMM31 is also available with power feed as model BBMM31PF and is compatible with the optional BBMILLSTAND.

The BBMM31 Premium Milling Drilling Machine is built around a powerful 2HP motor, heavy cast iron construction, and an R8 spindle for serious metalworking performance. With generous table size, rigid column, and smooth controls, this machine is designed to deliver accurate results job after job.

The 2HP, 220V motor delivers consistent torque across the full speed range, making light work of drilling, face milling, and end milling operations. The robust belt-driven head and heavy-duty construction ensure smooth, vibration-free performance even under load.

When paired with the optional stand, the BBMM31 becomes a stable, space-efficient milling workstation with excellent ergonomics and working height. This setup is ideal for serious hobbyists, prototyping shops, and light production environments.

Large, easy-to-read micrometer dials graduated to 0.001" give you precise control over every movement. The machine is equipped with a magnetic safety switch and limit-switch protected guards to ensure safe operation in professional environments.

The precision-ground cast iron table provides ample working space and features large handwheels for smooth, controlled travel in all axes. With 17" of longitudinal travel and 7-1/4" cross travel, you have the flexibility to handle a wide range of setups.

The head can rotate a full 360 degrees and is easily adjustable for height, allowing you to tackle angled drilling and milling operations with ease. This flexibility makes the BBMM31 ideal for complex parts, fixtures, and custom work.

The 12-speed pulley system gives you a wide RPM range from 150 to 2,500 RPM, allowing you to match spindle speed perfectly to the material and cutter. The heavy-duty tapered roller bearing spindle assembly ensures smooth, accurate rotation and long service life.
