HiTorque 6500 Bench Mill (Long Table)

The LittleMachineShop.com HITorque Bench Mill 6500 provides a larger table, more travel, more horsepower, and more rigidity than other brand mills in its size class.

The 6500 is a middleweight in our mill lineup. A significant step up in size, rigidity, and power compared to a mini mill. Weighing in at a little over 250 lbs., these mills can be placed on a bench with the help of some friends and their base dimensions of 9.1" x 16.1" will fit on most benches.

A 750-Watt (1 hp) brushless DC motor provides abundant spindle power and tremendous low-end torque. The drive allows for spindle speeds from 100 to 2500 RPM continuously in both forward and reverse. A belt drive from motor to spindle eliminates any failure from gears breaking. NSK quality spindle bearings ensure years of quiet operation.

The combination of a large table (27.5" x 6.25") and extensive travel along X, Y, Z-axis (19.7", 5.7", 11.6") provides a large work envelope. Precision ground ways ensure smooth and accurate movement. Adjustable gibs are on all dovetail ways. A fine feed knob on the Z-axis provides for precise control.

The mill has an R8 spindle for wide tool availability. A true quill and drill press-style handles make for easy drilling. Tapping-mode is another standard feature with a button on the end of each handle allowing you to reverse the spindle to make tapping easy.

The mill has a solid (No-Tilt) head and rigid rectangular dovetail column which maintains head alignment (tram) at any height, ensuring years of rigid and "true" milling.

A digital spindle speed display and a separate digital depth gauge for the quill which reads in inches and mm. You can automatically resume running at the last-used spindle speed. Spindle fine feed and position lock are also standard.

Large handwheels on the X and Y axes and 10 TPI lead screws (accurate to 0.001") provide accurate readings. Ball thrust bearings on feed screws ensure smooth movement.
