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 VSC 250 is a turn-grind machine for chucked parts up to 250 mm (10 in) in diameter and 175 mm (7 in) long. It is not in EMAG's current lineup, so buyers will meet it as a second-hand machine, and the figures below are the listed ones for the model rather than a current data sheet.
The listed workpiece spindle runs to 6,000 RPM with 39 kW (52 hp) and 460 Nm (339 ft-lb). Turning tools sit in a 12-position disc turret, VDI 40, and for the DS/DDS variant a grinding spindle is listed at up to 45,000 RPM and 18 kW (24 hp). That speed suits small-diameter internal wheels, so on a DS/DDS machine bores can be ground after turning in the same chuck. Travels are 685 mm (27 in) in X and 200 mm (7.9 in) in Z, with rapids of 60 m/min (2,362 IPM) and 30 m/min (1,181 IPM). The bed is MINERALIT polymer concrete in double-wall construction and the control is a Siemens Sinumerik 840D.
For a used purchase, check which variant the machine actually is, since the grinding spindle figures belong to DS/DDS only. Plan for 6,500 kg (14,330 lb) and a footprint of 2,400 x 4,200 x 2,750 mm (94 x 165 x 108 in). The listed chuck diameter of 315 mm (12.5 in) is larger than the 260 mm (10.2 in) swing diameter, which cannot both be right for one machine, so measure the chuck and work area on the machine itself.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Workpiece spindle with 39 kW (52 hp) and 460 Nm (339 ft-lb) up to 6,000 RPM
- Grinding spindle of up to 45,000 RPM and 18 kW (24 hp) on the DS/DDS variant
- 12-position disc turret, VDI 40, for turning before grinding
- MINERALIT polymer concrete bed in double-wall construction
Limitations
- Not in EMAG's current lineup, so the listed figures could not be checked against a current EMAG page
- Grinding spindle data apply only to the DS/DDS variant
- Part length is limited to 175 mm (7 in) on 200 mm (7.9 in) of Z
- Chuck diameter of 315 mm (12.5 in) and swing of 260 mm (10.2 in) contradict each other in the listed data

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It is not in EMAG's current lineup. Any machine offered now is second-hand, so check the variant, the control and the condition of the spindles on the machine itself rather than relying on the listed figures alone.
02
The listed grinding spindle, up to 45,000 RPM and 18 kW (24 hp), is given for the DS/DDS variant only. The listed data say nothing about the grinding equipment of other variants, so confirm what a machine without that designation carries besides its 12-position VDI 40 disc turret.
03
The listed weight is 6,500 kg (14,330 lb) and the footprint 2,400 x 4,200 x 2,750 mm (94 x 165 x 108 in). Check floor loading and crane or rigging capacity before buying, and allow access space around the footprint.
04
Up to 250 mm (10 in) in diameter and 175 mm (7 in) long, with a listed swing of 260 mm (10.2 in). X travel is 685 mm (27 in) and Z travel 200 mm (7.9 in).
