Verdict
These machines fit different jobs. Choose the DN Solutions DBM 5040 for heavy plates, weldments and castings up to 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) that need 4,250 mm (167 in) of X travel and 37 kW (50 hp) for roughing. Choose the DN Solutions DEM 4000 for drilling, tapping and light milling of small parts within 550 x 400 x 450 mm, or for a toolroom or training shop, where 8,000 rpm and a small machine count for more than size.
