Why Choose the SEM - Single‑End Milling Station?

One station, multiple gains:

  • Two‑in‑One Machining – Counter‑rotating end‑cope cutters plus a third spindle that mills the dowel groove; no secondary operation needed.

  • Tear‑Free Finish Every Time – Dual 12,000 rpm spindles rotate in opposite directions, eliminating grain breakout on plant‑on bars.

  • Zero Tool‑Change Downtime – Stack multiple scribe tools on each shaft; select via digital mechanical read‑out.

  • Single‑Phase, Small Footprint – Plugs into a 240 V 20 A supply and occupies less than 1m².

Ideal for: external plant‑on glazing bars • bevel mouldings on casements, sashes and doors.

How it works

  1. Clamp & Align – Specially designed manual clamp secures profiled bar during the cycle.

  2. Dual Spindle End‑Cope – Two high‑speed cutters remove the bulk and finish the scribe in one pass.

  3. Groove Milling – A third 24,000 rpm spindle cuts the dowel groove precisely centred for secure fixing.

  4. Ready for Assembly – Tear‑free faces and pre‑cut groove mean plant‑on bars can be fixed immediately.
