The VIGERT HMT-BF16 Vertical Knee Mill is a robust and versatile precision milling machine, designed for high-accuracy operations across a variety of industries. With its vertical spindle orientation, the HMT-BF16 allows users to perform precise cutting, shaping, slotting, and drilling of metal and other solid materials. This machine is especially suited for tasks requiring detailed accuracy and smooth surface finishes. Based on the proven design principles of the 9522C Vertical Knee Mill, this unit blends traditional milling capabilities with modern build quality.
Manufactured in 2019 and currently in 85% new condition, the HMT-BF16 continues to meet the demands of manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, tooling, electronics, and general metalworking. Whether you're producing prototypes or precision components, this machine is engineered to deliver dependable results time and again.
The vertical knee mill design of the HMT-BF16 features a vertically oriented spindle mounted directly above the worktable. This vertical alignment is optimal for applications where gravity assists the cutting action and allows the operator better visual access to the workpiece.
This machine is classified as a precision milling machine, meaning it is capable of achieving extremely tight tolerances and fine finishes. It's built for tasks requiring high dimensional accuracy and excellent repeatability — a crucial requirement in aerospace and tool-and-die manufacturing.
The table size on the HMT-BF16 (similar to the 9522C model) provides ample workspace for handling a wide range of components. The sturdy worktable allows users to clamp medium-sized parts or tooling fixtures securely. Larger table sizes support longer travel and make it possible to handle more complex setups or multiple part machining.
The HMT-BF16 is equipped with adjustable spindle speeds, giving the operator full control to match the cutting speed with the material and the type of tool being used. Variable speeds enable optimized performance when working with metals like aluminum, steel, and other alloys.
Depending on the configuration, the HMT-BF16 may feature either manual handwheel controls for traditional machinists or optional digital controls for enhanced accuracy and automation. The availability of digital readouts (DROs) further aids in precision operations and repeatable measurements.
This machine supports a wide variety of tooling such as:
End mills
Face mills
Slot drills
Boring heads
Chamfer cutters
The spindle is built to handle various shank sizes and tool holders, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard tooling systems. The rigid spindle construction ensures minimal vibration and consistent tool contact, resulting in better surface finishes.
The VIGERT HMT-BF16 is designed to accept a range of milling attachments, including:
Rotary tables for angular or circular milling
Dividing heads for gear cutting and complex part indexing
Vices, clamps, and collets for secure part holding
These accessories allow for flexible machining of irregular shapes and intricate profiles.
Thanks to its design and accuracy, the VIGERT HMT-BF16 is widely used in:
Aerospace components machining – for parts requiring high tolerances
Automotive prototyping – for engine parts, molds, and dies
Electronics housing and mold creation
Toolroom work – for creating precision jigs and fixtures
Educational and R&D labs – for training and testing purposes
