Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Brother. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Brother Speedio S700X2 is the second X-generation build of Brother's 700 mm (27.6 in) X-axis BT30 machining center. Its envelope is 700 x 400 x 300 mm (27.6 x 15.7 x 11.8 in) above an 800 x 400 mm (31.5 x 15.7 in) table, and it runs Brother's CNC-C00 control. The model is discontinued, so a buyer today is looking at a used machine.
Against the earlier Speedio S700X1 on the same frame, two rows changed. Continuous spindle output rises from the 6.7 kW of the Speedio S700X1 to 7.1 kW, with the 10-minute rating unchanged at 10.1 kW, and the tool change is quicker: Brother's table lists 0.7 tool to tool and 1.3 chip to chip, in seconds, where the S700X1 lists 0.8 and 1.4. Weight stays at 2,400 kg (5,291 lb). On production work that changes tools every few seconds, the quicker change is the reason to prefer the X2 when both are on offer.
The spindle choices carried over. A 10,000 rpm spindle was standard, and 16,000 or 27,000 rpm spindles and a high-torque 10,000 rpm spindle were optional, as were the dual-contact spindle and coolant through the spindle. Tapping runs to 6,000 rpm, or to 8,000 rpm with the 27,000 rpm spindle. The magazine takes 14 or 21 MAS-BT30 tools of up to 110 mm (4.3 in) diameter, 250 mm (9.8 in) length and 3.0 kg (6.6 lb).
Positioning accuracy is 0.006 - 0.020 mm (0.00024 - 0.00079 in) with repeatability under 0.004 mm (0.00016 in). Table load is 250 kg (551 lb), or 300 kg (661 lb) with the load option, so a fourth-axis unit and its fixture have to fit inside that. The machine needs 2,050 x 2,223 mm (80.7 x 87.5 in) of floor, 2,497 mm (98.3 in) of headroom, AC200V power and 45 L/min of air.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Continuous spindle rating of 7.1 kW, up from 6.7 kW on the Speedio S700X1, with 10.1 kW available for 10 minutes
- Tool to tool in 0.7 and chip to chip in 1.3 (seconds), against 0.8 and 1.4 on the Speedio S700X1
- Spindle options reach 27,000 rpm, with tapping up to 8,000 rpm on that spindle
- Rapids of 50 / 50 / 56 m/min (1,969 / 1,969 / 2,205 ipm) on a 2,400 kg (5,291 lb) machine
- Repeatability under 0.004 mm (0.00016 in)
Limitations
- Discontinued, so the fitted spindle and options have to be checked on each used machine
- The magazine stops at 21 tools; the 28-tool option appears only on the later Speedio S700Xd1
- Table load is 250 kg (551 lb), or 300 kg (661 lb) with the option
- Only 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z travel and a 250 mm (9.8 in) maximum tool length

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The travels, table, rapids, magazine sizes and 2,400 kg (5,291 lb) weight are the same. The S700X2 lists 7.1 kW continuous spindle output where the Speedio S700X1 lists 6.7 kW, and quicker tool changes, 0.7 tool to tool and 1.3 chip to chip against 0.8 and 1.4, all in seconds.
02
The Speedio S700Xd1 moves to the CNC-D00 control, adds a 28-tool magazine option (14/21/28 tools) and raises the optional table load to 400 kg (881 lb). The Speedio S700Xd1 weighs 2,550 kg (5,622 lb). Travels, table size and the 7.1 kW continuous rating match the S700X2.
03
10,000 rpm as standard, with 16,000 rpm, 27,000 rpm and a high-torque 10,000 rpm version as options. Tapping speed is 6,000 rpm, or 8,000 rpm with the 27,000 rpm spindle. On a used machine, the power capacity row helps: 9.5 kVA for the 10,000, 16,000 and 27,000 rpm versions.
04
Brother lists positioning accuracy of 0.006 - 0.020 mm (0.00024 - 0.00079 in) and repeatability under 0.004 mm (0.00016 in). A worn used machine may not hold those figures, so check them with a test cut or a ballbar run before purchase.
