Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Brother Industries. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Brother Speedio S300Xd1 is a compact 30-taper vertical machining center with 300 × 400 × 300 mm (11.8 × 15.7 × 11.8 in) of travel, a 600 x 400 mm (23.6 x 15.7 in) table and Brother's CNC-D00 control. It is now discontinued; Brother's current model on this frame size is the Speedio S300Xd2, which has 450 mm (17.7 in) of Y travel and a 12,000 rpm standard spindle.
Floor space is where the S300Xd1 stands out. It covers 1,080 × 2,106 mm (42.5 × 82.9 in), against 1,080 x 2,463 mm (42.5 x 96.9 in) for the SPEEDIO S300X2 on the same travels. In a cell where machines stand side by side or face a robot, that shorter depth can decide whether one more machine fits. Height is 2,498 mm (98.4 in) and weight 2,350 kg (5,181 lb).
Tool changes are quick even by 30-taper standards: 0.6 sec tool to tool and 1.2 sec chip to chip with a 14 or 21-tool magazine. The tool-change rows also give 0.7 and 1.3 sec for a 28-tool magazine, though the capacity row lists only 14 and 21 tools, so check which magazine a used machine carries. Tools may be up to 160 mm (6.3 in) long, ø110 mm (4.3 in) across and 3.0 kg (6.6 lb).
The standard spindle runs to 10,000 rpm with 16,000 and 27,000 rpm versions as options, rated 10.1 kW for 10 min and 7.1 kW continuous. Tapping tops out at 6,000 rpm, or 8,000 with the 27,000 rpm spindle. Dual-contact taper and through-spindle coolant were options. Table load is 250 kg (551 lb), or 300 kg (661 lb) with the option.
The supply is AC 200 to 230 V three-phase, and the machine draws 9.5 kVA with the standard spindle and 45 L/min of air at 0.4 - 0.6 MPa.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Short footprint of 1,080 × 2,106 mm (42.5 × 82.9 in) for dense machine layouts
- 0.6 sec tool-to-tool and 1.2 sec chip-to-chip with the 14 or 21-tool magazine
- Spindle options of 16,000 and 27,000 rpm over the standard 10,000 rpm
- Rapids of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) on X and Y and 56 m/min (2,205 ipm) on Z
- Brother's CNC-D00 control and an AC 200 to 230 V three-phase supply range
Limitations
- 300 mm (11.8 in) of X travel limits the part to a small window of the 600 mm table
- 160 mm (6.3 in) maximum tool length rules out long drills and extended holders
- Table load is 250 kg (551 lb) unless the 300 kg (661 lb) option is fitted
- Discontinued; the current Speedio S300Xd2 has more Y travel at 450 mm (17.7 in)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Travels, table and spindle options stayed the same. The S300Xd1 moved to the CNC-D00 control, cut chip-to-chip time to 1.2 sec and shortened the footprint to 1,080 × 2,106 mm (42.5 × 82.9 in). The SPEEDIO S300X2 used the CNC-C00 control, covered 1,080 x 2,463 mm (42.5 x 96.9 in) and weighed 2,200 kg (4,850 lb).
02
The Speedio S300Xd2 adds Y travel, 450 mm (17.7 in) against 400 mm (15.7 in), on a 600 × 450 mm (23.4 × 17.7 in) table, and its standard spindle runs to 12,000 rpm. The S300Xd1 keeps 400 mm of Y on a 600 x 400 mm table with a 10,000 rpm standard spindle. Both list 2,350 kg (5,181 lb).
03
The capacity row lists 14 or 21 tools, but the tool-change rows give separate times for 28 tools: 0.7 sec tool to tool and 1.3 sec chip to chip, against 0.6 and 1.2 sec for 14 or 21. Treat the 28-tool magazine as unconfirmed for this model and check the machine itself.
04
The standard spindle runs to 10,000 rpm; 16,000 and 27,000 rpm spindles were options, and the power-capacity row also lists a high-torque 10,000 rpm specification at 10.4 kVA. Maximum tapping speed is 6,000 rpm, or 8,000 with the 27,000 rpm spindle.
