How much does the Burkhardt+Weber MC Series Horizontal Boring Mill cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc boring machine in this class — not a quote from Burkhardt+Weber. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Burkhardt+Weber MC Series Horizontal Boring Mill covers a range of sizes: X travel from 2,000 to 4,000 mm (79 to 157 in) depending on variant, Y from 1,400 to 2,000 mm (55 to 79 in) and 800 to 1,200 mm (31.5 to 47.2 in) of axial spindle travel in Z. Spindle speed runs from 1 to 3,000 RPM on an HSK-A100 / SK 50 taper.
The proportions say what the series is for. X is the longest travel and Z the shortest in every variant, which suits long, tall workpieces machined from the side. With 800 to 1,200 mm of Z, a bore deeper than that has to be reached from both ends by turning the part. The rotary table that makes this possible is listed as optional, in sizes from 1,400 × 1,400 mm to 2,000 × 2,000 mm, so confirm whether a quoted machine includes it.
A 3,000 RPM ceiling on a 50-size taper points to large cutters and boring tools, with the bottom of the speed range there for big facing and boring diameters. The table gives no spindle power, torque, rapid traverse, table load or magazine figures for the series; those have to come with the quotation for a specific variant. For parts that fit a pallet, the MCX 800 is the smaller alternative, with an 800 x 800 mm pallet and 1,250 mm of X travel.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- X travel from 2,000 to 4,000 mm (79 to 157 in) depending on variant, with Y from 1,400 to 2,000 mm (55 to 79 in)
- Spindle taper listed as HSK-A100 / SK 50
- Speed range from 1 to 3,000 RPM, the low end suiting large boring and facing tools
- Rotary tables from 1,400 × 1,400 mm to 2,000 × 2,000 mm are available
Limitations
- The rotary table is optional, so four-sided work is not part of the base machine
- Z travel is 800 to 1,200 mm (31.5 to 47.2 in), short against the X and Y travels
- 3,000 RPM maximum restricts small-tool work

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X travel is 2,000 to 4,000 mm (79 to 157 in) depending on variant, Y travel 1,400 to 2,000 mm (55 to 79 in), and Z, the axial spindle travel, 800 to 1,200 mm (31.5 to 47.2 in). The figures are ranges across the series, so the variant decides which apply.
02
Not as standard. Burkhardt+Weber lists the rotary table as optional, in sizes from 1,400 × 1,400 mm to 2,000 × 2,000 mm. Without it, a part has to be re-clamped to present another face to the spindle, so the table should be settled at the quotation stage.
03
The spindle speed range is 1 to 3,000 RPM and the taper is listed as HSK-A100 / SK 50. Spindle power and torque are not in the table for this series and should be requested for the variant being quoted.
