The BBMM45 is a heavy-duty gearhead milling machine built for accuracy, rigidity, and long-term reliability. Its massive cast-iron structure and high-torque drive system deliver confident performance for demanding machining work.
The oversized column and base provide exceptional stability and vibration damping. This rigid foundation ensures cleaner cuts, better finishes, and consistent accuracy even during heavy milling operations.
Take your machine to the next level with the optional BBMMSTAND, designed specifically for the BBMM45. It provides excellent working height, improved chip management, and a compact footprint without sacrificing performance or stability.
The gear-driven head delivers consistent torque with no belt slippage and reduced vibration. Forward and reverse controls combined with a magnetic safety switch provide confidence, safety, and precise control at the machine.
The spacious cast-iron table provides smooth, accurate travel in both axes. Large handwheels with fine graduations allow precise positioning for slotting, facing, drilling, and precision layout work.
The tilting head allows angled drilling and milling operations without complex fixturing. This added flexibility expands the machine’s capability while maintaining rigidity and accuracy.
