You can find two main milling machine types in the world of CNC machining: the vertical CNC machine and the horizontal CNC machine. Another, less common CNC machine is the universal CNC machine, which converts from a vertical mill to a horizontal mill, providing the best qualities of both types of machine in one machine. The most common type of milling machine is the vertical machine because it takes up less floor space. Because the vertical mill machine utilizes a spindle that comes down from the top of the machine, the machine is much taller than it is long or wide. Consequently, most shops prefer to use the taller machine over the horizontal one, which may take up too much valuable floor space in their shops. If you want a machine that will easily make your parts and products without taking up three machine’s worth of space, you want a vertical CNC machine.
