C.R.Onsrud introduces a hybrid of traditional milling technology with the productivity of high-speed machining. This American-made 5-axis machining center is configured with dual tables eliminating load unload time. It also has the capability to electronically lock the two tables together for machining of large parts.

The optional Dual Process technology allows independent program machining on each of the two tables simultaneously for maximum flexibility.

The Onsrud Hybrid Mill is offered in two standard configurations: a nominal 8-foot or 12-foot bed width. Available options include dual spindles, high-speed spindles and quick change, large-capacity toolchangers.

"We repeatedly come upon machinists and fabricators requiring a large work volume who would benefit from the high speed machining of a router, that don't want to incur the expense of a large traditional mill," says Jeff Onsrud, directory of sales and business development. "Now we just combined them into the Hybrid Mill and you have the best of both worlds."
