What This Machine Does
The X6332Z is an economical drilling and milling machine for shops that need both operations but cannot give the floor space or the budget to two machines. It is compact and small in footprint while staying flexible in what it can reach: the milling head rotates 90 degrees left and right so the machine works vertically or horizontally, the head also turns through plus or minus 45 degrees for angled work, and the rocker arm extends and retracts to bring the spindle out over the workpiece. The body is high-grade cast iron. The main shaft is chrome-molybdenum alloy running in precision-grade angular contact bearings, and it is quenched and tempered then fine ground, which is what gives the spindle the stiffness to take a strong cutting force while holding accuracy. Nuts in the feed train are high-grade phosphor bronze for wear resistance. X and Y feed automatically through gear transmission and the Z direction lifts electrically.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Drilling and milling on one compact machine so a small shop does not need two footprints
- Milling head rotates 90 degrees left and right covering vertical and horizontal work
- Head also swivels plus or minus 45 degrees for angled faces and holes
- Extending and retracting rocker arm brings the spindle over the work without moving the part
- Chrome-molybdenum main shaft quenched tempered and fine ground takes strong cutting force at accuracy
- Precision-grade angular contact bearings on the spindle hold running accuracy under load
- Phosphor bronze nuts resist wear so the feed train keeps its setting over a long service life
- Gear transmission auto feed on X and Y with electric lift on Z
Where X6332Z Universal Vertical Horizontal Gear Head D Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Buying separate drilling and milling machines doubles the floor space and the capital cost
- Moving a part between machines for drilling and milling loses its setting and adds error
- Fixed-head machines cannot reach horizontal or angled features without a fixture
- Wide parts put features out of reach of a fixed column spindle
- Soft feed nuts wear and the machine develops backlash that shows on every cut
- A spindle without proper bearings and heat treatment deflects and loses accuracy under cutting force
Who It Is For
- Small and medium workshops needing drilling and milling from one machine
- Maintenance departments with mixed repair work
- Prototype and model shops with limited floor space
- Training workshops teaching drilling and milling
- Distributors supplying economical multi-function machines
Application Scenarios
- Drilling and milling the same part without moving it to another machine
- Horizontal milling by rotating the head 90 degrees
- Angled drilling and milling using the plus or minus 45 degree head rotation
- Small parts production in a workshop with limited floor space
- Maintenance work needing a flexible machine for varied one-off jobs
- Reaching features on a wide part by extending the rocker arm

How It Is Built and What Can Be Changed
Operations Performed
- Drilling
- Milling
- Vertical milling
- Horizontal milling
- Angular machining
Materials Handled
- Cast iron
- Chrome-molybdenum alloy steel
- Phosphor bronze
Quality Control
- Main shaft heat treated then fine ground and checked for run-out before assembly
- Angular contact bearing preload set and checked on the assembled spindle
- Head rotation checked for accurate position at 90 degrees and at the 45 degree limits
- Auto feed on X and Y and the electric Z lift run through full travel
- Rocker arm extension checked for rigidity and clamping
- Test drilling and milling cuts taken before the machine is packed
Customisation Options

- Supply voltage frequency and phase built for your market
- Digital readout offered where setting accuracy needs it
- Manual and machine plates prepared in your working language
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| X6436 universal drilling and milling machine | The X6436 is the larger servo-driven machine with rapid feeds and an ISO 50 horizontal spindle; the X6332Z is the compact economical machine for shops with limited space and budget |
|---|---|
| A separate vertical mill and pillar drill | Two machines cost two footprints and force the part to be moved and re-set; the X6332Z drills and mills from one clamping |
| A light bench drill-mill without gear head | Belt-driven bench machines lose torque at low speed; the gear head and chrome-molybdenum spindle here are specified so the machine can hold cutting force |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Clamp the part on the table and set the datum before choosing the head orientation
Step 2
Rotate the milling head to vertical or horizontal and set any angle within plus or minus 45 degrees
Step 3
Extend the rocker arm to bring the spindle over the feature and clamp it
Step 4
Fit the drill or cutter and set the spindle speed for the tool and material
Step 5
Engage automatic feed on X or Y for milling or use the electric Z lift for drilling depth
Step 6
Take a trial cut and measure before running the rest of the part
Step 7
Check the lubrication points and clear chips from the ways at the end of the shift

Questions About X6332Z Universal Vertical Horizontal Gear He
Can this machine really do both drilling and milling?
Yes. It is an economical drilling and milling machine whose head rotates 90 degrees left and right, so vertical and horizontal work are both available and drilling and milling are done from one clamping.
What angles can the head be set to?
The milling head rotates 90 degrees left and right and can also be turned through plus or minus 45 degrees.
What is the spindle made of?
The main shaft is chrome-molybdenum alloy, quenched and tempered and then fine ground, and runs in precision-grade angular contact bearings, so it holds accuracy under strong cutting force.
What are the working travels and table size?
Send us your typical workpiece dimensions and we will confirm the table size and travels for the X6332Z before you order.
Are the feeds automatic?
X and Y feed automatically through gear transmission, and the Z direction is by electric lift.
What voltage can you supply?
Tell us your supply voltage frequency and phase and the machine will be built for your market.
What are your trade and payment terms?
FOB CFR and CIF are available. Payment is 30 percent by T/T on order and 70 percent before shipment, or an irrevocable L/C at sight.
