9" X 32" GEARHEAD MILLING DRILLING MACHINE
BBMM45 Premium Gearhead Milling Machine
Built for demanding milling and drilling applications, the Busy Bee Tools BBMM45 Premium Gearhead Milling Machine delivers the power, rigidity, and control required for accurate metalworking. Its 1.5HP, 220V motor drives a geared head system that provides efficient torque transmission and dependable performance across six spindle speeds ranging from 60 to 1,500 RPM.
The R8 spindle taper accommodates a broad range of commonly available tooling, while four heavy-duty tapered roller bearings support the spindle for improved stability and accuracy under load. A large cast iron table provides a solid working surface, with generous longitudinal and cross travel for positioning a variety of workpieces.
Large micrometer dials on the control hand wheels are graduated in 0.001 in. increments to support precise adjustments. Forward and reverse spindle operation adds versatility, while the magnetic line interruption switch requires a manual restart following a power interruption. An integrated safety guard with limit switch protection provides an additional level of operator protection.
The BBMM45 includes a 3 in. face cutter, 3-1/2 in. angle vise, and safety guard. It is also compatible with the optional BBMILLSTAND for added support and convenient shop installation.
