Elite presents world-class mills packed with top-notch features. These mills come with Certified Meehanite® castings, an electronic spindle brake to prevent accidental starts, and a hardened and ground table, offering reliability and durability for various materials. Our patented vari-disc key has up to 10 times more wear resistance than aluminum or brass keys. The fully hardened Chromium Molybdenum spindle meets strict tolerance and uses class 7210 (P4, ABEC-7) precision angular bearings for an industry-leading spindle taper runout of 0.00012'. The Y- and Z-axis ways are hand scraped for better oil retention and smooth movement. Also, every 30 minutes, your Elite mill gets automatic lubrication with a 3 - 6 cc/cy flow. For safety, all Elite Mills are CSA/CUS Certified and include a spindle safety guard.
Features:
- Ball bearing support of the motor shaft ensures quiet and accurate operation at any speed.
- Heat-treated and polished lead screws supported by thrust bearings enable smooth table movements under load.
- A seamless, one-piece, steel quill is induction hardened, chromed, and precision ground for strength and accuracy.
- The stainless steel Y-Axis way cover offers extra protection compared to standard sheet metal covers.
- The control box houses major functions and an emergency stop button.
- An advanced double nut design controls table and saddle backlash for precise lateral movements.
- Variable speed pulleys are ground and multi-plane dynamically balanced to reduce vibration and ensure smooth speed transitions.

Using the EVS - 949 2 - Axis Mill is quite straightforward. First, make sure it's properly connected to a 230V 3 - phase power supply. Check the amperage draw to ensure it's within the safe range. Before starting, adjust the spindle speed according to the material you're working on. The range of spindle speeds is from 60 to 5,000 RPM. You can use the control box to manage major functions and there's an emergency stop button in case of any issues.
When it comes to the table, use the lead screws for smooth incremental movements. The advanced double - nut design helps control the table and saddle backlash for precise lateral movements. Remember, the work table has a weight capacity of 550 lbs, so don't overload it.
For safety, always keep the spindle safety guard in place. Since the mill is CSA/CUS Certified, it meets safety standards, but you still need to be cautious. The mill has an automatic lubrication system that runs every 30 minutes with a 3 - 6 cc/cy flow, which helps keep it running smoothly.
In terms of maintenance, regularly check the Y - and Z - axis ways as they are hand - scraped for better oil retention. Inspect the stainless steel Y - Axis way cover for any damage. The ball - bearing support of the motor shaft and the heat - treated lead screws should be monitored for proper operation. Also, check the variable speed pulleys as they are ground and multi - plane dynamically balanced to reduce vibration.
