How much does the Brother Speedio S300Xd2 cost?
Estimated price range
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 S300Xd2 is Brother's current small-envelope 30-taper vertical machining center: 300 × 450 × 300 mm (11.8 × 17.7 × 11.8 in) of travel, a 600 × 450 mm (23.4 × 17.7 in) table, a 12,000 rpm standard spindle and the CNC-D00 control.
The extra Y is the main change on this frame. The Speedio S300Xd1 had 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y travel on a 600 x 400 mm (23.6 x 15.7 in) table; the S300Xd2 grows both Y travel and table depth to 450 mm (17.7 in). That lets a fixture sit deeper on the table or a vise sit with room behind it for a probe or a second small fixture. X stays at 300 mm (11.8 in), so the machine is still sized for small parts rather than long ones.
Four spindles are listed. The standard one runs to 12,000 rpm. Options are a high-torque 10,000 rpm spindle for steel and tapping, and 20,000 or 27,000 rpm spindles for small tools in aluminium. Rated output is 10.1 kW for 10 min and 7.0 kW continuous. Tapping runs to 6,000 rpm, or 8,000 with the 27,000 rpm spindle. A dual-contact spindle and through-spindle coolant are options. Choosing the spindle is the main specification decision on this machine, because the speed range spans steel tapping to fine aluminium finishing.
The magazine holds 14 or 21 tools, and tool-to-tool time is 0.6 sec. The time rows also quote 0.7 sec for a 28-tool magazine that the capacity row does not list. Chip-to-chip time is given for two Z-axis builds, 1.2 / 1.3 for the 300 mm Z and 1.3 / 1.4 for a 380 mm Z, though the travel row lists only 300 mm of Z, so ask whether the taller build applies to this model. Tools may be 160 mm (6.3 in) long, 110 mm (4.3 in) in diameter and 3.0 kg (6.6 lb).
Installation needs 1,080 × 2,161 mm (42.5 × 85.1 in) of floor, 2,529 mm (99.6 in) of height, a 10.4 kVA supply at AC 200 to 230 V three-phase and 40 L/min of air at 0.4 - 0.6 MPa. The machine weighs 2,350 kg (5,181 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 450 mm (17.7 in) of Y travel and a 600 × 450 mm (23.4 × 17.7 in) table on a compact frame
- 12,000 rpm standard spindle with high-torque 10,000 rpm, 20,000 and 27,000 rpm options
- 0.6 sec tool-to-tool and 1.2 sec chip-to-chip with the 14 or 21-tool magazine and the 300 mm Z
- Tapping up to 8,000 rpm with the 27,000 rpm spindle
- Current model with Brother's CNC-D00 control
Limitations
- X travel stays at 300 mm (11.8 in), so long parts need a larger model
- Maximum tool length is 160 mm (6.3 in)
- Table load is 250 kg (551 lb) without the 300 kg (661 lb) option
- Continuous spindle rating of 7.0 kW limits heavy roughing in steel

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Speedio S300Xd1 has 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y travel, a 600 x 400 mm (23.6 x 15.7 in) table and a 10,000 rpm standard spindle with 16,000 or 27,000 rpm options. The S300Xd2 has 450 mm (17.7 in) of Y, a 600 × 450 mm (23.4 × 17.7 in) table and a 12,000 rpm standard spindle with high-torque 10,000, 20,000 and 27,000 rpm options. X and Z are 300 mm (11.8 in) on both.
02
The listed choices are 12,000 rpm standard, a high-torque 10,000 rpm option, and 20,000 or 27,000 rpm options. The high-torque spindle suits steel and tapping; the 20,000 and 27,000 rpm spindles suit small cutters in aluminium. Only the 27,000 rpm spindle raises tapping speed to 8,000 rpm from 6,000 rpm.
03
The travel row lists 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z. The chip-to-chip row, however, gives times for both a 300 mm and a 380 mm Z axis (1.3 / 1.4 for the 380 mm build). Ask Brother whether the 380 mm Z applies to the S300Xd2 before counting on it.
04
Floor area is 1,080 × 2,161 mm (42.5 × 85.1 in) and height 2,529 mm (99.6 in), with a weight of 2,350 kg (5,181 lb). Power is AC 200 to 230 V three-phase at 10.4 kVA, and air demand is 40 L/min at 0.4 - 0.6 MPa.
