Although the Maho Standard Vertical Head ran faster than that on the original Deckel (and most of the other copies) it was still too slow to allow the use of the really small diameter cutters so often necessary in fine tool and die work. To address this shortcoming the makers offered a high-speed head, able to be swivelled 90-degrees either side of central, and fitted with its own motor - on early models this was a 0.5 kW 3400 r.p.m. unit whilst later versions were given one with the same power but running at 2800 r.p.m. In both cases the resulting 6 spindle speeds were listed as identical with a range spanning 1900 to 6000 r.p.m. Unusually for a head intended to be used for precision work by a skilled operator there was no worm-driven fine feed, instead the same quick-action lever and handwheel used on the standard head was fitted, though with an additional 10 mm of quill travel.

The slotting attachment could be swivelled through 360 degrees, had a stroke variable from 0 to 80 mm and the 18 speeds gave stroke rates from 20 to 316 per minute.
