How much does the Brother Speedio S700Xd2 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 S700Xd2 is the Xd2 version of the S700 BT30 machining center, with a deeper Y axis than the earlier builds: 700 x 450 x 300 mm (27.6 x 17.7 x 11.8 in) of travel over an 800 × 450 mm (31.4 × 17.7 in) table, a 12,000 rpm standard spindle and the CNC-D00 control. Z can be ordered at 380 mm (15.0 in) instead of 300 mm, and that choice shapes much of how the machine is specified.
With the standard Z, the spindle nose sits 180 - 480 mm (7.1 - 18.9 in) from the table. The 380 mm option lowers and extends that range to 150 - 530 mm (5.9 - 20.9 in), which leaves room for a rotary table and tailstock, a tall vise or long drills. The price in cycle time is small and stated: chip to chip is 1.2 sec (14 or 21 tools) or 1.3 sec (28 tools) with the 300 mm Z, and 1.3 or 1.4 sec with the 380 mm Z. Tool to tool stays at 0.6 sec, or 0.7 sec with the 28-tool magazine.
The spindle line-up differs from the Speedio S700Xd1, which starts at 10,000 rpm. Here 12,000 rpm is standard, a high-torque 10,000 rpm spindle is offered for heavier steel work, and 20,000 or 27,000 rpm spindles are options for small tools. Output is 10.1 kW for 10 minutes and 7.0 kW continuous. Tapping is rated to 6,000 rpm, or 8,000 rpm with the 27,000 rpm spindle.
The table carries 250 kg (551 lb) as standard and 400 kg (881 lb) with the option. Rapids are 50 / 50 / 56 m/min (1,969 / 1,969 / 2,205 ipm). For the site survey, allow a 2,050 × 2,081 mm (80.7 × 81.9 in) footprint, 2,529 mm (99.6 in) of height, 10.4 kVA on a 200 to 230 V 3-phase supply, and 40 L/min of air at 0.4 to 0.6 MPa. The machine weighs 2,550 kg (5,622 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 450 mm (17.7 in) of Y travel and an 800 × 450 mm (31.4 × 17.7 in) table, against 400 mm (15.7 in) and 800 x 400 mm on the Speedio S700Xd1
- Optional 380 mm (15.0 in) Z with 150 - 530 mm (5.9 - 20.9 in) from spindle nose to table
- 12,000 rpm standard spindle, with high-torque 10,000 rpm and 20,000 or 27,000 rpm options
- Magazine of 14, 21 or 28 tools with 0.6 sec tool to tool on the smaller two
- Optional 400 kg (881 lb) table load for a rotary table and fixture, with 250 kg (551 lb) as standard
Limitations
- Standard Z is 300 mm (11.8 in); the longer 380 mm (15.0 in) stroke is an option and adds to chip-to-chip time
- Continuous spindle output is 7.0 kW, so heavy steel roughing is not what the machine is built around
- Tools are limited to 3.0 kg (6.6 lb), 110 mm (4.3 in) diameter and 250 mm (9.8 in) length

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It extends Z from 300 mm (11.8 in) to 380 mm (15.0 in) and moves the spindle-nose-to-table range from 180 - 480 mm (7.1 - 18.9 in) to 150 - 530 mm (5.9 - 20.9 in). That gives room for a rotary table or taller parts. Chip to chip rises to 1.3 sec (14 or 21 tools) or 1.4 sec (28 tools).
02
The SPEEDIO S700Xd2-100T has a 100-tool magazine and always has 380 mm (15.0 in) of Z. The SPEEDIO S700Xd2-100T weighs 2,700 kg (5,953 lb), and its spindle options stop at 20,000 rpm. The S700Xd2 takes 14, 21 or 28 tools, has 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z as standard, weighs 2,550 kg (5,622 lb) and can take a 27,000 rpm spindle.
03
The figures point the way. The 12,000 rpm standard spindle suits general aluminium and steel work. The high-torque 10,000 rpm version is the logical pick for heavier cutting at lower speed. The 20,000 and 27,000 rpm options suit small end mills and drills, and only the 27,000 rpm spindle raises tapping speed from 6,000 to 8,000 rpm.
04
Power capacity is 10.4 kVA on a 200 to 230 V 3-phase supply at 50/60 Hz. Air demand is 40 L/min at 0.4 to 0.6 MPa. The machine needs 2,050 × 2,081 mm (80.7 × 81.9 in) of floor and 2,529 mm (99.6 in) of headroom, and weighs 2,550 kg (5,622 lb).
05
Positioning accuracy is listed as 0.006 - 0.020 mm (0.00024 - 0.00079 in) and repeatability as under 0.004 mm (0.00016 in). Both are the same as on the other S700 versions, so the choice between them rests on travel, spindle and magazine rather than accuracy.
