HiTorque Solid Column Mini Mill, Tooling Package, and Stand. This includes the PN 3990 HiTorque Mini Mill, the PN 3489 R8 Mini Mill Tooling Package, and 5629 Stand.

The LittleMachineShop.com HiTorque Mini Mill is the best in its class. It has the most power, most torque, and a larger table than other mills in its class.

This mill has a solid column. It does not tilt from side to side. This construction is significantly stiffer than the tilting column on other mini mills.

The 500 Watt brushless spindle drive motor provides tremendous low-end torque. And you can vary the speed from 50 rpm to 2500 rpm continuously. There are no gears to shift. And, with no gears, the HiTorque Mini Mill is the quietest in its class.

The large mill table provides 50% more table area than other mini mills. It also has 30% more travel in each direction. The re-settable feed dials allow you to zero them at any point.

The HiTorque Mini Mill has drill press handles for drilling and fast motion of the mill's head. It also has Z-axis fine feed with 0.001" resolution for milling operations.

The 3489 tooling package comes equipped with 1-2-3 blocks, center drills, clamping kit, 7 piece R8 collet set, edge & center finder, 20 piece end mill set, 3" thin parallels, 3" milling vise, vise mounting kit and a 7/16" T-slot cleaner.

The 5629 stand cabinet is sourced from the same factory as the mini mill so the drip tray has pre-drilled holes for mounting the mill. It also has cutouts on the base for securing the cabinet to a shop floor. The cabinet itself is ideal for storage of tools and accessories.

*NOTE* We ship machines only to the US and Canada.

Chris Chris' Tips
T-slot cleaners are designed for Bridgeport mills. It takes a few seconds on a grinder to reduce the size of the "T" to fit the slots on the mini mill.The solid column is much more rigid than the tilting column.

Some people may feel that the tilting column is a feature, but I have used a mini mill for 10 years and never tilted the column on purpose.


Let's compare the LittleMachineShop.com Solid Column HiTorque Mini Mill to mini mills with a tilting column.

The tilting column on other folk's mini mills tilts 45 degrees from side to side. This has several advantages. First, it is possible to make some angled cuts. It's also easy to tram in the X-axis. One user (and only one) has described to me a cut that was impossible to make any way but using a tilting column.

This mill has a solid column. While it is harder to tram in the X-axis because you must use shims, it is not as easy to knock it out of tram as the tilting column mini mill. The solid column has thicker walls than the tilting column, and a stiffer joint where it joins the base, so the column is significantly more rigid than the tilting column.

LittleMachineShop.com no longer sells mills with a tilting column. That is an indication of how much better the solid column is.
