The Millennium range was designed and the built to provide a unique turning and machining capability.

These machines handle very efficiently both simple turning processes and the very complex combination of turning, drilling, contour milling and grinding of large basically round components.
The machine on offer has been used solely in the production of high precision aerospace components and although the Millennium is proven for heavy cutting this machine has never been stressed in heavy metal removal conditions

It is offered with two 18 pocket tool changers that accommodate both live tools and turning tools

Chip conveyor with built in coolant
