How much does the EMAG HG 208 CD cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from EMAG. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The EMAG HG 208 CD is the compact version in the HG 208 external grinding family, sized for parts up to 100 mm (4 in) in diameter and 400 mm (15.5 in) long. It has 380 mm (15 in) of X travel and 600 mm (23.5 in) of Z travel.
Against the base HG 208, the proportions are reversed. The HG 208 offers 1,600 mm (63 in) of Z on 360 mm (14 in) of X, while the CD has well under half that axial stroke and a slightly longer 380 mm (15 in) cross travel. Its listed work envelope is also the smallest of the three HG 208 models: the HG 208 DW takes 200 mm (8 in) diameters and 600 mm (23.5 in) lengths, twice the diameter and half again the length of the CD.
That makes the CD a machine for short, slim parts, such as small shafts, pins and spindle-type components, where a long Z axis would only add floor space. The 380 mm (15 in) X stroke is far more than a 100 mm (4 in) part needs, which leaves space on the cross-slide for wheel approach and changeover.
EMAG's table for this model is short: it lists the envelope and the two travels, nothing on spindles, wheels or accuracy. Ask for those with the quotation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Compact envelope for parts up to 100 mm (4 in) in diameter and 400 mm (15.5 in) long
- 380 mm (15 in) of X travel, against the 360 mm (14 in) of the HG 208
- 600 mm (23.5 in) of Z covers the full listed part length with margin at both ends
Limitations
- Diameter capacity of 100 mm (4 in) is half that of the HG 208 DW
- Z travel is 600 mm (23.5 in) against 1,600 mm (63 in) on the HG 208, so long shafts are out
- The table lists no spindle, wheel or accuracy data

Frequently Asked Questions
01
EMAG lists 100 mm (4 in) as the maximum workpiece diameter and 400 mm (15.5 in) as the maximum length. Parts above either figure need the HG 208 DW or the HG 208.
02
Both have 380 mm (15 in) of X travel. The HG 208 DW takes 200 mm (8 in) diameters and 600 mm (23.5 in) lengths on 800 mm (31.5 in) of Z, while the CD stops at 100 mm (4 in) and 400 mm (15.5 in) on 600 mm (23.5 in) of Z.
