Advantages
Why Choose Vertical Machining Centres?
Documented Time Studies
Every quote comes with a real test cut on your part in our Vaughan Tech Centre, not a catalogue cycle time.
One Control Across the Range
The Kaizora Nexa 5 control is identical from the KV-560 to the KV-1100, so operators move between machines without retraining.
Parts Stocked in Vaughan
Common spindle, tool-changer and electrical components are on our shelves, not on a boat from overseas.
Coast-to-Coast Service
Factory-trained technicians cover installation, preventive maintenance and emergency calls across Canada and the US.

3-axis vertical machining centre
KV-560
The KV-560 is Kaizora's entry point into production-grade vertical machining, built for job shops and toolrooms that need to move between parts quickly without giving up rigidity. A BT40 direct-drive spindle, box-way construction on all three axes, and a 24-station arm-type changer keep cycle times tight on aluminum, steel and stainless alike. Tollaston's applications engineers set up the majority of first-time CNC buyers on this platform because the Kaizora Nexa 5 control's conversational programming shortens the learning curve without limiting what an experienced programmer can do with it later. It is the machine we recommend when the floor space and the budget are both tight but the part mix is not.

3-axis vertical machining centre
KV-1100
The KV-1100 is the machine Tollaston quotes when a customer's part, or their fixture, has outgrown a standard 40-taper mill. A 1,300 x 600 mm table rated to 1,200 kg, 1,100 mm of X-travel and a 22 kW BT50 spindle turning 220 Nm of torque let it hog heavy steel and cast-iron sections that would stall a smaller machine. Despite the size, it holds the same ±0.006 mm positioning accuracy buyers expect from the KV line, and the 40-station magazine keeps complex, multi-operation parts running without a manual changeover. We install the KV-1100 most often for die/mold shops and heavy-industrial contract manufacturers who need one machine to do the roughing and the finishing.

FAQ
Vertical Machining Centres Questions
Answers to common questions about our vertical machining centres products.
A VMC holds a spindle vertically over the workpiece and machines flat, prismatic and pocketed parts in metal — it's the most common CNC platform for milling, drilling, tapping and boring operations across almost every industry.
Most first-time buyers start on the KV-560 for its footprint and price; shops running real production volume land on the KV-800; and shops with oversized parts or fixtures move up to the BT50-spindle KV-1100.
Yes — Tollaston works with equipment lenders offering term loans and lease-to-own plans, and our sales team can lay out payment options alongside your quote.
Every Kaizora VMC purchase includes rigging coordination to your floor, machine leveling and setup, on-site operator training, and a documented run-off on your first parts before we hand off the keys.
All three KV models ship with a pre-wired rotary table interface, so a 4th-axis trunnion or index table can be added after installation without a control upgrade.
