Machine Comparison
Makino D200Z vs Makino D300
Makino vs Makino · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The Makino D200Z and Makino D300 are compact 5-axis machining centers with the same 300 mm diameter table, and both rapid at 60 m/min (2,362 ipm). The main difference: the D200Z runs 30,000 rpm as standard, while the D300 starts at 15,000 rpm and carries three times the tools.
The D200Z has the longer X axis, 350 mm (13.7 in) against 300 mm (11.8 in), and its 30,000 rpm HSK-E50 spindle needs no option. The D300 offers more of everything else: 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y against 300 mm, 350 mm (13.8 in) of Z against 250 mm, a table rated for 120 kg (265 lb) against 75 kg (165 lb), and 60 tools as standard, with 124 or 212 optional, against 20 + 1. Its spindle can be ordered at 20,000 or 30,000 rpm as extra-cost options.

Advantages
Makino D200Z
- 30,000 rpm spindle as standard; the D300 reaches that speed only as an option
- 350 mm (13.7 in) of X travel against 300 mm (11.8 in)
Makino D300
- 60 tools as standard, with 124 or 212 optional, against 20 + 1
- 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) of Z travel against 300 mm and 250 mm
- Table rated for 120 kg (265 lb) against 75 kg (165 lb)
Verdict
Pick the Makino D200Z for small dies, molds and medical parts finished with small-diameter cutters, where 30,000 rpm as standard and the longer X axis count. Pick the Makino D300 for small 5-axis parts that need many tools, more Y and Z travel and a 120 kg table rating, or for automated cells with a pallet changer or robot; its spindle reaches 30,000 rpm only as an extra-cost option.
