VEVOR Z-Axis Power Feed Table Mill Feeder 0-200 RPM 450 in-lb Torque

Description

Product Overview

The VEVOR Z-Axis Power Feed is engineered to bring industrial‑grade performance to a wide range of vertical knee‑type milling machines. Constructed from hardened steel and equipped with precision‑cut copper gears, the unit delivers a maximum torque of 450 in‑lb while offering a continuously variable speed range from 0 to 200 RPM. This combination of high torque and fine speed control enables users to achieve smooth, accurate Z‑axis movement during both roughing and finishing passes. The feed and return speeds are calibrated at 965 mm/min and 1385 mm/min respectively, providing a balanced workflow that reduces cycle time and improves surface finish. The feeder is powered by a 120 V corded source, eliminating the need for batteries or external inverters, and its compact dimensions (15.35 x 13.39 x 7.48 inches) allow for easy mounting on most standard tables. With a weight of just over 13 lb, the unit is sturdy enough to handle demanding machining tasks while remaining light enough for quick installation and removal.

Usage

Designed for professional workshops, educational labs, and hobbyist garages, the Z‑Axis Power Feed excels in environments where precision and repeatability are paramount. It is compatible with a broad spectrum of machines that share a 5/8″ end‑shaft diameter, including popular models from Bridgeport, Precision Matthews, Enco, Jet, Sharp, Acer, and Webb. Whether you are machining aerospace‑grade aluminum, high‑strength steel, or composite materials, the feeder’s adjustable speed knob lets you tailor the feed rate to the material’s cutting characteristics, minimizing tool wear and extending spindle life. The unit’s automatic mode can be engaged for continuous production runs, while the manual mode offers fine‑tuned control for intricate contours or delicate operations. Its built‑in protective system automatically disengages power in the event of a sudden reversal or tool collision, safeguarding both the machine and the workpiece. The feeder’s simple bolt‑on installation means that users can have it up and running in under an hour, making it an ideal upgrade for both new and legacy equipment.
