Smart Mill 500
Product Code : LSK-CTM-10780
Smart Mill 500 (SKU LSK-CTM-10780) is a vertical machining center (VMC) from the Smart Mill series, with a box-structured base and column, an 8,000 rpm spindle and a 20-tool magazine with double-gripper automatic tool changer. Training institutes and engineering colleges use it to give CNC students experience on a production-class milling machine. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India to institutes, tender contractors and distributors of TVET workshop equipment.
Specifications
The machine is built for rigidity and thermal stability, with a compact footprint and a layout designed for easy routine maintenance. A side chip conveyor with built-in coolant system, rigid tapping and high rapid traverses are part of the series concept, and several options extend it for production or advanced training work.

Applications and Experiments for the Smart Mill 500
This VMC is used where students must move beyond trainer machines to an industrial milling center: setting work offsets, loading a 20-tool magazine, running face, pocket and contour programs and tapping holes under CNC control. It suits advanced CNC workshops in ITIs, polytechnics and engineering colleges.
- ITI Operator Advanced Machine Tools and machinist trades: VMC setting and operation.
- Diploma in mechanical or tool and die engineering: CNC milling programming.
- B.E./B.Tech CAM labs: running CAM-generated toolpaths on a real machine.
- Short industry courses on tool changing, rigid tapping and coolant management.
Standard Scope of Supply
The machine comes with its standard accessories: levelling bolts and pads, rigid tapping, a work light, coolant tank and pump with chip tray, a screw-type chip conveyor, a pilot light, and the operating and programming manuals. Items in the options row are not included unless they are named on your quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover one VMC or a full CNC section, and each one states the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested. Options such as the rotary table or stabiliser, and related vocational training equipment, can be priced on the same quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. Use the contact page or put this VMC in the enquiry cart to ask for a quote; the lab tender page is there for tender purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many tools does the Smart Mill 500 hold?
The magazine holds 20 tools and uses a double-gripper automatic tool changer, so multi-tool programs run without manual tool changes.
Can the spindle speed be increased?
Yes. The standard spindle runs at 8,000 rpm, and a 10,000 rpm spindle is listed as an option, along with a 7/9 kW spindle motor and spindle-through coolant.
Who supplies this machining center?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, and can quote it with tooling, fixtures and other CNC training machines on one document.
Is it suitable for beginners?
It is an industrial-class VMC, so it fits advanced courses. Beginners usually start on a smaller CNC trainer, and all machining should run with guards closed and an instructor present.
