A few years back we ran a piece comparing and contrasting the functionality of Vertical and Horizontal Machining Centers. The exact distinction is still an area of confusion for many, and given the price of buying even a used CNC machining center (especially a horizontal), we figured it was never a bad time for a refresher. Seeing as our previous article was published a while back, we have decided to update it into an easy to read infographic:

MMI has a huge selection of both Horizontal and Vertical Machining Centers in stock, with more added every week. Check out our store and see if you can find one that meets your needs:
