KNEE MILL VERTICAL CRAFTEX CX SERIES CX603

The Craftex CX-Series CX603 Knee Milling Machine is built for machinists who need a compact but capable machine for milling, drilling, and precision metalworking. Its 1-1/2 HP, 220V motor provides nine spindle speeds from 230 to 2,520 RPM, allowing the machine to handle a range of materials and cutting operations.

A heavy-duty one-piece casting provides rigidity and stability, while the precision-ground vertical and cross ways support smooth, accurate movement. The 8" x 30" table includes T-slots for securing vises, fixtures, and workpieces, with 14-1/2" of longitudinal travel and 6" of cross travel.

The milling head can tilt 45° to the left or right, and the head adaptor rotates around the column for added setup flexibility. Fine and coarse down-feed controls make it easier to manage spindle movement for different machining tasks.

The CX603 includes a heavy-duty stand with a large chip tray and is manufactured in Taiwan. Optional coolant and power-feed systems are available separately. Like all Craftex CX-Series machines, it features a powder-coated two-tone finish and a three-year warranty.
