American Machine Tools Company is accedited by the Better Business Bureau! Click to verify. We accept Visa credit cards for up to $25,000.We accept Mastercard for up to $25,000.American Express accepted here for up to $25,000.
We sell Vertical and Horizontal Mills to the USA, Canada, and Latin America. Birminghams are manufactured in China or Taiwan depending on model. Birmingham options & upgrades are installed in USA. Our best are the Laguns which are manufactured in Spain with options & upgrades installed in USA. Most of these mills are very similar to the famous Bridgeport design.

Milling is the process of machining flat, curved, or irregular surfaces by feeding the workpiece against a rotating cutter containing a mutiple cutting edges. The milling machine consists basically of a motor driven spindle, which mounts and revolves the milling cutter, and a reciprocating adjustable worktable, which mounts and feeds the workpiece. Milling machines are basically classified as vertical or horizontal. These machines are also classified as knee-type, ram-type, and bed type.
Knee-type milling machines have a vertically adjustable worktable resting on a saddle which is supported by a knee shaped massive casting that rides vertically on the milling machine column and can be clamped rigidly to the column in a position where the milling head and milling machine spindle are properly adjusted vertically for operation. Vertical milling machines have a spindle located vertically, parallel to the column face, and mounted in a sliding head that can be fed up and down by hand or power. Modern vertical milling machines are designed so the entire head can also swivel to permit working on angular surfaces. Lagun comes with a tilting table. Lagun horizontal mills offer an optional multi-angle milling head for complex compound angle work.
