Source · checked 2026-11-04

Strengths & trade-offs

  • Greater published x axis: 1626 mm. May accommodate larger work; setup and footprint still need checking.
  • Greater published y axis: 1016 mm. May accommodate larger work; setup and footprint still need checking.
  • Greater published z axis: 762 mm. May accommodate larger work; setup and footprint still need checking.
  • Lower published max speed: 8100 rpm. Suitability depends on the material, tooling and application; not a measured performance advantage.
  • Greater published max weight on table (evenly distributed): 1814 kg. Suitability depends on the material, tooling and application; not a measured performance advantage.
  • Price, reliability, cycle time and exact installed options are not verified.
