These ‘hybrid’ machining centers are built for high-speed graphite milling, hard milling, small hole drilling, and micro milling.
LEARN MOREWhy purchase two high-end vertical milling machines—one for graphite and another for hard milling—when you can get both from one machine?
Spanning four different models—each with the same high-rigidity, bridge-type “monoblock” structure that allows for high-speed, high-precision machining—the HC series hybrid vertical milling machines combine industry-leading graphite milling with hard milling capabilities.
The result is a dual-purpose VMC solution that’s accurate, fast, reliable, and, best of all, durable—and more than versatile enough to be useful in a wide variety of situations.

“Our biggest supply chain issue is labor, but we have been able to achieve lights-out operation by adding the MC Machinery equipment. We have kept costs down while improving accuracy and doing more with the same number of employees.”
LEARN MOREMantz Automation Operation Manager Todd Doerfert“The kinematics of the Roku-Roku VMCs allow us to run faster feed rates and not sacrifice surface finish or accuracy. The machines are efficient in terms of increased cutter life, reliable Fanuc control and overall machine stability. We can run longer intervals on downstream inspection on parts that the Roku-Rokus machined.”
LEARN MORETerBeek Molding & Tool co-owner John TerBeek“The Eagle 800 has burn technology that gives us a competitive advantage because it takes about half the time to burn and uses fewer electrodes, which saves both time and money. Our goal is to run it all day and all weekend. I like that we also are cutting down on our carbon footprint by using fewer graphite electrodes and less copper wire than before.”
