How much does the Chiron FZ 08 FX cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Chiron. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Chiron FZ 08 FX is a small 5-axis machining center for small parts. The listed figures give a 42,000 rpm HSK-E32 spindle, a ø 200 mm table and a largest workpiece of ø 80 mm by 100 mm high. None of this has been confirmed against a Chiron data sheet, so check it against the machine's own documentation before relying on it.
Travels are listed as 320 mm / 280 mm / 350 mm in X, Y and Z. X travel is four times the workpiece diameter, which shows that the strokes serve the swing of the rotary axes and tool access, not large parts. The A-axis range is +30° / -110° and the C-axis turns 360° continuously.
HSK-E32 at 42,000 rpm is a combination for small cutters: fine end mills, small drills and engraving tools in work where surface finish and detail matter more than metal removal. The magazine holds 30 tools and the maximum feed rate is 60 m/min.
The footprint is 1,500 mm × 1,900 mm. A power row lists 87.2 hp without saying whether that is the spindle or the machine's connected load, so do not size cuts from it. No torque, tool size or weight figures are listed. The FZ 08 S Five Axis is the documented neighbour: 450 mm, 270 mm and 310 mm of travel, 15,000 to 40,000 rpm with 9 to 23 Nm, and HSK-A40 or HSK-E40.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 42,000 rpm spindle with HSK-E32 for very small tools
- A-axis range of +30° / -110° with a continuous 360° C-axis
- Footprint of 1,500 mm × 1,900 mm
- 30-tool magazine and a maximum feed rate of 60 m/min
Limitations
- Workpieces are limited to ø 80 mm and 100 mm in height
- The listed figures are unconfirmed; the power row of 87.2 hp does not say what it measures
- No spindle torque, tool size limits or table load are listed
- HSK-E32 restricts the machine to small tooling

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give a maximum workpiece diameter of ø 80 mm and a maximum height of 100 mm, on a ø 200 mm table. Travels are listed as 320 mm / 280 mm / 350 mm, much larger than the part, to allow for the rotary axes and tool access.
02
A 42,000 rpm spindle with an HSK-E32 taper. No torque is listed. A power row shows 87.2 hp but does not state whether it refers to the spindle or to the whole machine, so treat it as unclear until it is confirmed.
03
The A-axis is listed at +30° / -110° and the C-axis at 360° continuous. That lets the tool reach the sides of a small part and beyond horizontal on one side in a single clamping.
04
The FZ 08 S Five Axis lists 450 mm of X, 270 mm of Y and 310 mm of Z, 15,000 to 40,000 rpm with 9 to 23 Nm, HSK-A40 or HSK-E40 and 24 to 80 tools. The FZ 08 FX is listed with a smaller HSK-E32 taper, 42,000 rpm and a 30-tool magazine.
