*Availability of machines is based on region. Contact your local Methods office to learn more.
The VM/R series increased rigidity of the main body and the spindle to provide even higher cutting performance. Its feed axes utilize highly rigid and accurate box-ways like conventional machines. This enables machining of not only general parts but also parts made of difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium. The main body design delivers heavy and accurate machining in an ergonomic friendly design.
