Is Vertex on Sale? November 2026

Questions and answers

What does the Vertex R8 Right Angle Attachment Kit include?

The kit pairs an R8-shank right-angle head with a support arbor and mounting hardware for horizontal work on an R8 mill. It is built for side milling, slotting and cutting where a vertical spindle cannot reach. Check the listing for the exact contents of the kit you are buying.

Will it fit my mill?

It fits machines with an R8 spindle, common on Bridgeport-style vertical mills and their clones. The head needs clearance around the quill and a table that can take the support arbor. Confirm your spindle taper and quill diameter before ordering.

Does Vertex offer a warranty?

Vertex backs its machining accessories with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects, typically handled through the seller. Keep your receipt and inspect the gears and bearings on arrival. Ask the store about its own return window before you buy.

How does it compare with a dedicated horizontal mill?

The attachment gives you horizontal cutting on a mill you already own, without the floor space or cost of a second machine. It is lighter duty than a true horizontal mill, so take lighter cuts and watch spindle load. For occasional slotting and side work it covers most of what a horizontal setup does.

How do I care for the right-angle head?

Keep the gears lubricated as the manual specifies and clean chips from the housing after use. Avoid heavy interrupted cuts that shock the gears, and store the kit in its case to protect the shank and arbor. Worn bearings show up as noise or play, so check them periodically.

Are there Vertex discount codes?

Deal.ai checks what Vertex products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
