About heading 8459

Machine tools (including way-type unit head machines) for drilling, boring, milling, threading or tapping by removing metal, other than lathes (including turning centers) of heading 8458

Heading 8459 covers machine tools that remove metal by drilling, boring, milling, threading or tapping, other than lathes and turning centers. The heading is split first by machine type: way-type unit heads, drilling machines, boring-milling machines, boring machines, knee-type milling machines, other milling machines, and threading or tapping machines. Most of those groups are then split by whether the machine is numerically controlled, and further by used or rebuilt status, spindle type, or unit value under $3,025.
