Advantages
DN Solutions LEO 1600
- 4,000 rpm spindle against 400 rpm for small-diameter work
- 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) rapids against 12 m/min (472 ipm)
- Fits a 1,850 × 1,690 mm (73 × 67 in) floor area at 2,600 kg (5,732 lb), against 29,500 kg (65,036 lb)
DN Solutions PUMA VTR 1216
- 45 kW (60 hp) spindle against 7.5 kW (10 hp)

Verdict
These machines do not compete. Choose the DN Solutions LEO 1600 for small chucked parts that need spindle speed and quick rapids, in a shop with little floor to spare. Choose the DN Solutions PUMA VTR 1216 for large rings, casings and tall housings that need 45 kW (60 hp) at low speed and deep boring from the ram, and plan floor space for a 29,500 kg (65,036 lb) machine.
