Using an identical lower main column, knee and table assembly as the maker's VH and VHR turret-style machines, the SV (vertical) and SP (horizontal) millers were industrial class machines intended for heavy, continuous use in production or repair workshops.
Each model was built in two versions, C and CH; the C suffix versions (SV-C and SP-C) had  power longitudinal feed and manual vertical, while the CH models (SV-CH and SP-CH) enjoyed, for the quick setting of jobs, the addition of a rapid vertical feed. Of good quality and well-built, all Shizuoka millers (of all types and sizes) were claimed by the makers to have main castings in a Meehanite iron of high tensile strength; vertical and horizontal spindles and their intermediate shafts in nickel-chrome steel, heat-treated with induction-hardened noses and splines and ground-finished; transmission gears in a nickel-chrome steel, heat treated, finished on German MAAG gear grinders and run in easily-drained oil baths while spindle bearings - horizontal and vertical - were of the high-precision type (Japanese class H or P) and "...assembled under scrupulously clean and careful conditions".
Both horizontal and vertical models shared the same table and knee assembly and,
Although the standard table was entirely adequate for the machine's working capacity at 43.25" x 11", as a special-order option the makers offered another of the same width but extended to 51.25" (1300 mm) in length. Both sizes could carry a load of up to 500 kg (1/2 ton) and had three 5/8" (16 mm) T-slots on a 23/8" (60 mm ) spacing. Travel was also the same in both cases -  29.5" (750 mm) of longitudinal travel, 12" (300 mm) in traverse and 173/4" (450 mm) vertically.
When fitted with power feed, tables were driven by their own 1 h.p. (0.75 kW) motor, and had twelve rates feed, these varying from 0.60" to 29" per minute on a 60 Hz supply (15 to 700 mm/min) and from 0.5 to 24" (12 to 560 mm) on 50 Hz. Although the versions with power-feed were not listed has having shorter travels, the likelihood is that they would have been slightly truncated. While power cross feed was not fitted as standard, it was listed as an extra-cost option.
Knee lift was by hand on both types, though with the option of a time-saving power rise and fall (no normal power lift being offered), this being driven by a separate 1/2 h.p. (0.4 kW) 3-phase motor.
On the horizontal model the option was offered of a backlash eliminator on the table's longitudinal feed screw to allow "climb" milling - though this was not, of course, necessary on the vertical version - and all types had a cross feed screw that could be adjusted so as to eliminate backlash (as did the vertical and standard horizontal model on their longitudinal feed screws). Protection against overloading and accidental overrunning of the feeds was provided by a shear pin for the longitudinal feed together with adjustable, automatic knock-off stops, while the knee was fitted with limit switches at the upper and lower ends of its travel. In addition, the usual thermal overload relays and No-volt switches and fuses were incorporated in the electrical system - this being controlled by a front-mounted box to the right of the knee with (according to the particular export market) various push-buttons and rotary switches.

Horizontal Drive
Driven by a 5 h.p. (3.7 kW) 3-phase motor, the horizontal spindle had an NST40 socket end and nine speeds of: 78, 109, 155, 227, 315, 447, 612, 850 and 1200 r.p.m. - though later models had the range altered so that the highest speed became 1400 r.p.m. The drive passed through a speed-change gearbox controlled from the right-hand face of the column by a single, capstan-handled control fitted a direct-reading dial. From the centre line of the spindle the minimum clearance to the table was 1 3/16" (30 mm) and the maximum 18 15/16" (480 mm).
Although the SV had a substantially built vertical head, with an NST40 spindle, the fine feed travel by handwheel was just 3.5" (90 mm) and there was no provision for a quick-action drilling feed by lever. The head could be swivelled through 120° each side of vertical with a minimum clearance between spindle nose and table of 5/8" (20 mm) - and a maximum of 27.5" ( 470 mm). Final drive to the head was by bevel gears that tuned the drive through two right-angles; however, for a vertical miller, speeds were on the low side, being identical to the horizontal model with a range of nine from 78 to 1200 r.p.m.,
Lubrication
In addition to the gearbox oil sump, lubrication was provided by two plunger pumps whose handles protruded from the right-hand face of the saddle and knee -  a one-shot system whose success depended, unfortunately, upon either the operator's conscience, memory, or both. From the pumps oil was directed to the sliding surfaces of the column, saddle and knee as well as the various bearings and table feed screws.
Coolant was held in the machine's foot and delivered by a 0.075 kW (1/10 h.p.) pump to a distribution head pivoting from the left-hand face of the column.
Standard Equipment and Accessories
Supplied as standard with each new miller was: coolant equipment, a horizontal cutter-holding arbor, base levelling screws, a set of spanners, oil gun, tool box, inspection certificate and a copy of the maker's instruction book. Additional equipment included a fixed-quill vertical head to mount on the socket of the horizontal spindle, a variety of cutters including stub-arbor types and contemporary optical readers for the table and knee travels.
Weights varied only slightly between the two models: the vertical being approximately 2050 kg and the horizontal 1900 kg..
