One MVM Range, Different Workshop Requirements

The MVM line-up gives Tuckwell customers a progression of machines based on blade length, workload, motor power and required machine capability. Comparing those fundamentals first makes it easier to narrow the range.

Compact MVM Models

BM and ZX provide smaller-format options for workshops with shorter workpieces and lower capacity requirements.

Professional Range

PX and MX150 step up grinding length, control and throughput for more demanding day-to-day operation.

Longer Workpieces

KS250 and KX250 offer long grinding-length configurations extending to 7100 mm and beyond on request.

Heavy-Duty Capability

FX models are positioned at the heavier end of the MVM range for demanding industrial applications.

What to Compare Across the MVM Range

Rather than choosing by model name alone, compare the physical work you need the machine to handle and the level of capacity your workshop expects over time.

Machine Capacity

  • Maximum blade length required now and in the future
  • Motor power appropriate to your expected workload
  • Required carriage-speed range and level of control
  • Available floor space and machine access

Workshop Requirements

  • How frequently the machine will be used
  • Whether you require compact or long-bed construction
  • Clamping, magnetic chuck and accessory requirements
  • Installation, training, service and parts support

Not Sure Which MVM Model Fits Your Requirements?

Tuckwell can help narrow the range by looking at the blades you work with, the maximum length required, expected workload and the level of machine capacity you need.
