How much does the DN Solutions DNM 350 5AX cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from DN Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The DN Solutions DNM 350 5AX is a small 5-axis machining center built around a 350 mm (14 in) table that carries 250 kg (551 lb). Travels are 400 mm (16 in) in X, 435 mm (17 in) in Y and 500 mm (20 in) in Z, and DN presents it as a machine for full 5-axis or 5-face work.
The proportions say what it is for. Z is the longest axis, longer than X by a quarter, which leaves room for long tools and for parts that stand tall on a small table. X and Y are close to each other and only a little larger than the table itself. This is a one-part-at-a-time machine: a single block or casting clamped at the centre and reached from five sides, not a row of vises.
The spindle runs to 12,000 rpm and is rated at 117 N·m (86 ft-lb). DN describes it as direct-coupled, which it credits with low noise and vibration. The table for this model gives neither a power figure nor a taper, so confirm both with DN. The DNM 5AX 500 lists the same 117 Nm (86 ft-lb) alongside 18.5 kW (25 hp) and a BBT 40 spindle, but those rows belong to that machine.
Rapids are 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on Z, on roller-type LM guideways. The magazine holds 30 tools. For the size of part it handles the machine is not small: 3,209 × 3,150 mm (126 × 124 in) on the floor, 3,109 mm (122 in) high and 8,500 kg (18,739 lb). The DVF 4000 is lighter at 7,500 kg (16,535 lb) and has 620 mm (24 in) of X, but it offers 430 mm (17 in) of Z and a 200 kg (441 lb) table load.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Full 5-axis or 5-face machining on a 350 mm (14 in) table with a 250 kg (551 lb) load rating
- 500 mm (20 in) of Z travel, the longest axis, for long tools and tall parts
- 12,000 rpm direct-coupled spindle with 117 N·m (86 ft-lb) of torque
- Roller-type LM guideways with rapids of 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on X and Y
- Carries 250 kg (551 lb), against 200 kg (441 lb) on the DVF 4000
Limitations
- X travel is 400 mm (16 in) and the table is 350 mm (14 in) across, so long parts and multi-part setups do not fit
- DN's table for this model states no spindle power and no taper
- 30 tools is the only magazine capacity the table lists
- Weighs 8,500 kg (18,739 lb) and stands 3,109 mm (122 in) high, a lot of machine for a 350 mm (14 in) table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table is 350 mm (14 in) in diameter and rated for 250 kg (551 lb), fixture included. The axes travel 400 mm (16 in) in X, 435 mm (17 in) in Y and 500 mm (20 in) in Z. In 5-axis work the usable size is smaller than the travels suggest, because the tool, its holder and the part all have to clear each other at every angle.
02
A direct-coupled spindle with a top speed of 12,000 rpm and 117 N·m (86 ft-lb) of torque. DN's comparison table does not give its power or its taper for this model. Both matter for tooling and for judging roughing capacity, so get them from DN along with the speed at which the torque figure applies.
03
The DNM 5AX 500 is the larger machine in X and Y: 550 mm (21.7 in) and 510 mm (20.1 in), against 400 mm (16 in) and 435 mm (17 in) on the DNM 350 5AX. Both have 500 mm of Z, a 12,000 rpm spindle with 117 N·m (86 ft-lb), a 30-tool magazine and a 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) Z rapid.
04
It depends on the shape of the work. The DNM 350 5AX has 500 mm (20 in) of Z and a 250 kg (551 lb) table load. The DVF 4000 has more X at 620 mm (24 in) but 430 mm (17 in) of Z and a 200 kg (441 lb) load, and it weighs 7,500 kg (16,535 lb) against 8,500 kg (18,739 lb). Tall or heavy parts favour the DNM 350 5AX; wider, lighter ones favour the DVF 4000.
05
DN lists the machine at 3,209 mm (126 in) long, 3,150 mm (124 in) wide and 3,109 mm (122 in) high, with a weight of 8,500 kg (18,739 lb). Check door and ceiling heights against the 3,109 mm figure before delivery, and allow extra room around the outline for the operator and chip handling.
