Description
The VHF 3 is a universal milling machine that can keep pace with the growing demands of Knuth’s customers even after a good 20 years in the KNUTH catalog. Equipped with a horizontal spindle, a swiveling vertical milling head, and a large clamping table, this model serves a wide range of applications. The entire VHF series is ideal for repair shops, as well as training and production departments. The complete configuration with automatic feed and digital position display enables precise production and short non-productive times.
