Frequently Asked Questions
- What power supply does the Baileigh VM-949E-VS require?
- The VM-949E-VS operates on 220V single-phase power, making it accessible for home shops, garages, and small commercial shops that do not have three-phase electrical service available.
- What spindle taper does the VM-949E-VS use?
- The VM-949E-VS is equipped with an R8 spindle and drawbar, which is the most widely used spindle standard in this class of knee mills. This means a broad range of readily available end mill holders, collets, boring heads, and other tooling will be compatible with this machine.
- How is spindle speed adjusted on the VM-949E-VS?
- Spindle speed is adjusted via variable adjustable sheaves and pulleys, giving the operator an infinitely adjustable range from 60 to 4,200 RPM with the turn of a handle. This allows you to dial in the exact speed needed for any material or tooling type, extending tool life and improving surface finishes.
- What axes have digital readout (DRO) capability on the VM-949E-VS?
- The VM-949E-VS comes equipped with a DRO for the X and Y axes, allowing operators to track table position precisely and work to accurate dimensions without relying solely on handwheel dials.

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.
