Product Description
The Baileigh VM-1258-3 Vertical Knee Mill from Baileigh Industrial is a heavy-duty, professional-grade milling machine engineered for demanding large-scale machining work. Built around an exceptionally large 12" x 58" table and reinforced with premium castings throughout, this vertical knee mill delivers the rigidity, power, and precision that serious metalworking applications require.
Key Features
- Massive 12" x 58" worktable - one of the largest available on any manual vertical knee mill - providing ample surface area for oversized workpieces and complex setups
- Premium-quality castings used throughout the entire machine structure, creating an exceptionally rigid platform that minimizes vibration and flex during heavy cuts
- NT 40 spindle - a large, robust spindle design that maintains tighter tolerances over extended service life and handles heavy-duty tooling with confidence
- Yaskawa inverter drive paired with a 5 HP, 220-volt three-phase motor delivers smooth, reliable power across the full operating range
- Operator-selectable spindle speed ranging from 80 to 3,800 RPM, allowing precise RPM matching to the material and tooling for longer tool life and superior surface finishes
- Power-assisted movement on all three axes, reducing operator fatigue and improving accuracy during extended machining sessions
- Constructed to proportionally match the scale and weight demands of its oversized table - every major component reflects the same heavy-duty philosophy

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the VM-1258-3 table stand out compared to other manual mills?
- The VM-1258-3 features a 12" x 58" worktable, which is among the largest found on any manual vertical knee mill. This generous surface allows machinists to tackle significantly larger workpieces and more complex fixturing setups than would be possible on a standard-sized mill table.
- Why does the VM-1258-3 use a Yaskawa inverter drive instead of a conventional drive system?
- The Yaskawa inverter allows the operator to dial in precise spindle speeds anywhere between 80 and 3,800 RPM. Matching the correct RPM to the specific material and cutting tool being used results in better surface finishes, improved accuracy, and significantly longer tooling life compared to fixed-speed or limited-range drive systems.
- What is the advantage of the NT 40 spindle on this machine?
- The NT 40 is a larger-diameter spindle than those found on lighter-duty mills. A larger spindle provides greater strength, can accommodate more substantial tooling, and maintains tighter tolerances over a longer service life - all critical factors when running a heavy-duty machine at the scale of the VM-1258-3.
- What does three-axis power feed mean, and why does it matter?
- Three-axis power feed means that movement along all three machining axes is motor-assisted rather than entirely manual. This reduces operator fatigue during long production runs, improves feed rate consistency, and can contribute to better cut quality compared to hand-cranking all axes manually throughout the course of a demanding job.

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
It is important to assess the product being shipped against your location and material-handling capabilities.
Please be aware that your location needs to be prepared to properly handle and sign for freight shipments. You need to have access to a dock location, a forklift or the ability to unload the product from the freight carrier's trailer.
If your location does not have a traditional loading dock or forklift to unload your LTL freight out of the trailer, a Lift gate service will be required. There will be an additional charge for the service. It varies by carrier and even by market with different carriers. It often depends on the supply and demand of lift gate equipped trucks in your area.
Some machines require Flatbed shipping. There will be an additional charge for this service. Flatbed shipping is for the transportation of cargo that cannot be loaded or unloaded from a dock, or does not fit within the dimensions of standard truck trailers. A flatbed’s design allows for cranes and forklifts to load goods from all angles.
If a shipment is too heavy or the footprint (i.e., panel saws, metalworking lathes, mill/drills) is too large to ship via small parcel carrier (USPS, UPS or FedEx), it is shipped via a freight carrier. Freight shipments are considered tail gate deliveries, meaning that the driver is only responsible for moving the shipment to the rear of the trailer and will not assist with unloading.
For non-commercial deliveries, the freight carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery window and confirm if lift gate services are required. If lift gate service is requested, the driver is responsible for lowering the product to the ground during delivery. Freight shipments delivered to a residential location are considered curb side deliveries, meaning the driver will make the delivery in the street at the end of the customer’s driveway. Freight Carriers are not required to enter driveways to make residential deliveries due to liability and safety issues.
Although most deliveries go smoothly, sometimes there are exceptions beyond our control. Machines weighing over 2,000 pounds, bulky and oversized machines with a large footprint may not be able to be delivered via a lift gate for risk of injury or damage to the machine. There are also inaccessible remote, residential or high density urban areas that freight carriers cannot safely access. If encountered, such shipments are available for dock delivery or will be required to be picked up from the carrier’s terminal.
