How much does the GF Machining Liechti Turbomill 2600gx cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from GF Machining Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Liechti Turbomill 2600gx is the largest Turbomill on this site: a single-spindle 5-axis simultaneous machine listed with a 2,600 mm (102.4 in) work zone and a 700 mm (27.6 in) maximum part diameter. Its HSK-A63 spindle reaches 20,000 rpm and is rated 65 kW (87 hp) with 220 Nm, and the magazine holds 60 tools. The table has not been confirmed against a current Liechti or GF Machining Solutions data sheet.
Everything about this machine is scaled for long, heavy work. Against the Liechti Turbomill 1400g, the work zone grows from 1400 mm to 2,600 mm and the part diameter from 450 mm to 700 mm, with torque up from 170 Nm and tools from 40 to 60. The extra torque matters on large parts, where roughing removes far more material than on the shorter machines.
One figure moves the other way. Positioning accuracy is listed as 0.005 mm, against 0.004 mm on the Liechti Turbomill 1400g, which is what one would expect over a much longer axis. Parts with tight tolerances along their full length should be discussed with the supplier against the acceptance test.
The listed weight is 42,000 kg (92,594 lb), so the foundation is a project of its own. Rapids are 30 m/min. Coolant is delivered through the spindle at 80 bar, and the control is a Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl with Liechti Turbosoft+ CAM.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,600 mm work zone with parts up to 700 mm in diameter
- 220 Nm spindle torque at 65 kW, with a 20,000 rpm top speed on HSK-A63
- 60-tool magazine for long single-setup programmes
- 80 bar coolant through the spindle
Limitations
- Positioning is listed at 0.005 mm, looser than the 0.004 mm of the Liechti Turbomill 1400g
- 42,000 kg (92,594 lb) needs a heavy, long foundation and major rigging
- 30 m/min rapids over a 2,600 mm stroke make repositioning slow
- The table has not been confirmed against a current manufacturer specification

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Liechti Turbomill 1400g is listed with a 1400 mm work zone, 450 mm part diameter, 55 kW and 170 Nm, 40 tools and 25,000 kg. The Turbomill 2600gx is listed at 2,600 mm, 700 mm, 65 kW and 220 Nm, 60 tools and 42,000 kg.
02
The table does not explain it. A much longer axis generally makes the same positioning figure harder to hold, and the listed 0.005 mm against 0.004 mm on the Liechti Turbomill 1400g is consistent with that. Ask for the acceptance protocol over the full 2,600 mm.
03
The listed weight is 42,000 kg (92,594 lb) spread over a very long bed. A dedicated foundation designed from the supplier's drawing is the norm for a machine of this size, together with a rigging plan for the delivery.
04
A single HSK-A63 spindle running to 20,000 rpm, listed at 65 kW (87 hp) and 220 Nm. It draws on a 60-tool magazine, and coolant passes through the spindle at 80 bar.
