Description
Product Overview
The ACRA LCM-42 is a full-size vertical milling machine designed for precision machining in professional shops and fabrication environments. With a 9″ × 42″ table, variable speed head, and rigid knee mill construction, it delivers the accuracy and durability required for milling, drilling, boring, and production work.
Built in the traditional “Bridgeport-style” design, the LCM-42 provides versatility, reliability, and long-term performance for a wide range of machining applications.
Applications
- Machine shops and toolrooms
- Precision part machining
- Fabrication and repair work
- Production and prototype work
👉 Ideal for shops that need full machining capability and accuracy
Key Features
- 9″ × 42″ table for versatile part setup
- Variable speed head (60–4500 RPM) for different materials
- R8 spindle (industry-standard tooling compatibility)
- 3 HP motor for powerful cutting
- 30″ X-axis travel and 12″ Y-axis travel
- 16″ knee travel for large workpiece adjustment
- Precision-ground spindle supported by angular contact bearings
- Hardened and ground spindle taper for accuracy
- One-shot lubrication system for easy maintenance
- Chrome-plated quill and hardened ways for durability
- Heavy-duty Meehanite castings for rigidity and vibration control
Why This Machine Matters
Mill/drills (RF-31):
- Limited rigidity
- Less accurate
- Not ideal for heavy cuts
The LCM-42 solves this by:
- Providing full knee mill rigidity
- Delivering higher accuracy and repeatability
- Handling heavier cutting operations
👉 This is the standard machine for real machining work
When to Use This Machine
- Precision machining of parts
- Milling, drilling, boring, and slotting
- Toolroom and production work
- Shops upgrading from a mill/drill
