Compact Horizontal Boring and Milling Machines

Compact Horizontal Boring and Milling for Multi-Face Parts

Compact horizontal boring and milling machines are suited to box-type parts, housings, valve bodies and components that require machining on several faces. A horizontal layout can improve access to side features and support efficient chip evacuation during production.

This category includes the Handemo TH500 and TH1000. The two models address different workpiece sizes, so selection should begin with the complete part and fixture envelope.

Selection Priorities

Review workpiece dimensions and weight, fixture size, required axis travel, bore and milling features, spindle speed and torque, tolerance, surface finish, tool capacity and expected output. Loading access and pallet or automation plans should also be discussed early.

Send Handemo your drawing, material and production goal for a model and configuration recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What parts suit a compact horizontal machine?

Box parts, housings and components with features on multiple faces are common candidates, provided the work envelope and process match the machine.

How should I compare TH500 and TH1000?

Compare the real part, fixture, travel, load, spindle and tooling requirements against each model’s specifications.
