The Valid VT-1000 CNC Vertical Lathe is the result of several years of collaboration between Valid Machinery of the United States and Precursor Tech Co. LTD. of Taiwan. The VT-1000's ram-type fixed-rail design is inspired by the strength and durability of vertical turret lathes and boring mills from around the world with a special focus on the U.S. models. The latest manufacturing methods are utilized in building Valid machines and we believe them to be among the most advanced and rugged in the world, as well as affordable.
