How much does the DN Solutions DNC 8060 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
With 650 mm (26 in) of Z travel, the DN Solutions DNC 8060 is the longer-stroke counterpart to the DNC 8050 among DN's ceramic and quartz grinding machines. Work is held in a 12 in chuck, the maximum turning diameter is 810 mm (32 in), X travel is 550 mm (22 in), and the grinding spindle takes BT40 shanks at up to 10,000 rpm.
Compare the chuck with the capacity. A 12 in chuck under a 32 in maximum diameter tells you that the biggest parts are not gripped directly on standard jaws. Large quartz rings and ceramic plates will sit on extended jaws, a fixture plate or a vacuum or bonded mount that the buyer has to plan and pay for separately. The extra Z stroke is there for exactly those setups, since a fixture stacked on the chuck uses up length before the part begins, and for taller tubes and domes.
Against the DNC 8050 the trade is simple. The DNC 8050 has 550 mm (22 in) of Z and weighs 3,500 kg (7,716 lb); this one adds Z and is listed at 3,400 kg (7,496 lb). Diameter, X travel and the rapid rates of 10 m/min (394 ipm) on X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) on Z are common to both. One gap needs closing before an order: the DNC 8050 column gives a main spindle of 500 rpm and 14.1 / 6.3 kW (18.9 / 8.4 hp), while the DNC 8060 column carries no main spindle speed or power at all. Do not assume the figures transfer.
The machine is long and low. DN lists 2,840 × 2,043 × 2,042 mm (112 × 80 × 80 in) as length, width and height, so it passes under ordinary ceilings and its width and height are nearly identical. Control, wheel storage, grinding spindle power and coolant filtration are not part of the table.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 650 mm (26 in) of Z travel, against 550 mm (22 in) on the DNC 8050, leaves room for fixtures and taller parts
- 810 mm (32 in) maximum turning diameter for large quartz and ceramic rings
- BT40 grinding spindle rated to 10,000 rpm, so wheels and diamond tools mount on common holders
- Height of 2,042 mm (80 in) fits under ordinary workshop ceilings
- Listed at 3,400 kg (7,496 lb), slightly lighter than the 3,500 kg (7,716 lb) DNC 8050
Limitations
- No main spindle speed or power appears in DN's column for this model
- The 12 in chuck is far smaller than the 810 mm (32 in) capacity, so large parts need extended jaws or dedicated fixtures
- X rapid traverse is 10 m/min (394 ipm), half the 20 m/min (787 ipm) of Z
- At 2,840 mm (112 in) long it needs more floor length than its 2,043 mm (80 in) width suggests
- Grinding spindle power, control and coolant filtration are not stated in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
For length. The DNC 8060 travels 650 mm (26 in) in Z, and the DNC 8050 travels 550 mm (22 in). Both take 810 mm (32 in) in diameter and move 550 mm (22 in) in X. The added stroke helps when a fixture or riser sits between chuck and part, or when the part itself is a long tube. The DNC 8050 is listed at 3,500 kg (7,716 lb), a little heavier than the 3,400 kg (7,496 lb) DNC 8060.
02
DN Solutions lists a 12 in chuck with a maximum turning diameter of 810 mm (32 in). The chuck is much smaller than the largest part, so work near the capacity limit needs extended jaws, a faceplate-style fixture or another mounting method suited to brittle material. Budget for that workholding along with the machine.
03
DN's table does not give one for this model. The neighbouring DNC 8050 is listed at 500 rpm with 14.1 / 6.3 kW (18.9 / 8.4 hp), but that is the DNC 8050 column and should not be read across. The only spindle figures printed for the DNC 8060 are the grinding spindle's 10,000 rpm maximum and its BT40 shank. Ask DN Solutions for the main spindle data in writing.
04
Length, width and height are listed as 2,840 × 2,043 × 2,042 mm (112 × 80 × 80 in), and the machine weighs 3,400 kg (7,496 lb). It is longer than it is wide and no taller than it is wide, so the length along the Z axis is the dimension to lay out first, with clearance for coolant equipment that the table does not describe.
05
Rapid traverse is 10 m/min (394 ipm) on X and 20 m/min (787 ipm) on Z. In grinding the rapid rates affect only the approach and retract moves, so on a machine with 550 mm (22 in) of X and 650 mm (26 in) of Z they have little influence on cycle time compared with the grinding passes themselves.
