• Specification of the milling head the equivalent of the WM 14 Milling Machine.
• This machine is metric.

Image above shows the slightly larger equivalent attachment on a WM290V lathe.

Standard equipment includes

• 13mm drill chuck
• Drawbar 10mm and 3/8"
• Toolbox with maintenance tools

Fitment notes

• This attachment requires space at between the back of the cross slide and rear splash guard to fit.
• New WM 250V lathes are all pre-supplied with larger rear splash guards that will accommodate the attachment.
• For older WM 250, the milling attachment can be impeded by the standard splash guard.
• We can always supply larger rear splash guards to overcome this if required.
• Alternative solutions include: a) to remove the rear guard and do without it, or b) to modify the guard to enable unrestricted milling head movement.
• This is not suitable for use with glass optical DRO systems, because of lack of clearance for scale with milling head attached. Specifically the  rear scale obstructs installation.
• It's also possible to fit the to this WM 240 lathe, but the rear splash guard gets in the way. The most fool proof solution to overcome that is to remove it.
• If you need any advice about fitting, or to find out if your machine already has a larger splash rear guard, you can always contact us.
