Brother Speedio M200Xd1 vs Brother Speedio M300Xd1
Brother vs Brother Industries · Mill-Turn Machines
Summary
The Brother Speedio M200Xd1 and Speedio M300Xd1 share most of their specification: 440 mm (17.3 in) of Y travel, a 10,000 rpm BT30 spindle rated 10.1 kW (10 min) / 7.0 kW continuous, 22 / 28 tools, 0.8 sec tool changes and the CNC-D00 control. The directory lists the M200Xd1 as a vertical machining center and the M300Xd1 as a mill-turn machine, and the M300Xd1 is aimed at larger parts.
The M300Xd1 has 300 mm (11.8 in) of X travel against 200 mm (7.9 in), 380 mm (15.0 in) of Z travel against 305 mm (12.0 in), a ø170 mm table against ø140 mm and Table side 75 kg (165.3 lb) load against 40 kg. The M200Xd1 is slightly quicker chip-to-chip at 1.4 sec against 1.5 sec and has a narrower floor space.

Advantages
Brother Speedio M200Xd1
- 1.4 sec chip-to-chip against 1.5 sec
- Narrower floor space: 1,280 × 2,667 mm against 1,520 x 2,667 mm
- Lighter at 2,700 kg (5,953 lb) against 2,850 kg (6,283 lb)
Brother Speedio M300Xd1
- 300 mm (11.8 in) X travel against 200 mm (7.9 in)
- 380 mm (15.0 in) Z travel against 305 mm (12.0 in)
- Table side 75 kg (165.3 lb) load against 40 kg (88.2 lb), on a ø170 mm table
Verdict
The two machines serve different part sizes. Choose the Brother Speedio M200Xd1 for small implants, bone screws, dental restorations and small aerospace or electronics parts that fit 200 mm of X travel and a 40 kg table load. Choose the Speedio M300Xd1 for medium-size parts that combine turned and milled features, such as valves, fittings and automotive parts, where 300 mm of X travel and a 75 kg table load are needed.
