Verdict
This is a choice of model, not of machine type. The Mazak Mega Turn 900 fits steel parts around Ø36 in (914 mm) and up to 6,614 lb (3,000 kg), with a two-pallet changer option for long runs. Look across the wider Mazak Mega Turn series when parts are smaller and need up to 3,000 rpm, or larger, up to Ø65 in (1,651 mm) and 11,023 lb (5,000 kg), with up to 37 kW (50 HP) continuous.
