The FF 500/BL features the latest technology with a brushless direct drive. It is quiet and vibration-free in use with high precision. It boasts a wide speed range, variable from 200 to 4,000rpm, with a clear four-digit display. Electronic speed control and speed sensors guarantee high torque when using large milling cutters at lower speeds. The solid column has dovetail slideways with adjustable jib strips for smooth operation and zero play. The milling head can be angled both left and right by 90° either way. The spindle sleeve is lockable and pre-machined should you wish to fit the optional fine feed. The spindle uses ER20 collets guaranteeing trouble-free tool holding and maximum potential. The FF 500/BL includes four ER20 collets (6, 8, 10 and 12mm). Turning a hand wheel on top of the main column adjusts the head height (Z axis). All three hand wheels (X, Y and Z axes) have adjustable scale rings. One revolution is equal to 2mm, with coarse divisions of 0.1mm and fine divisions of 0.02mm. The solid plane-milled steel compound table features three MICROMOT standard T-slots.
