How much does the Johnford DMC-2600SH cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Johnford DMC-2600SH that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Johnford DMC-2600SH puts the 50-taper spindle on the 2,600 mm version of the DMC-S frame. Travels are 2,600 x 1,778 x 800 mm (102.4 x 70 x 31.5 in). Between the columns there is 1,796 mm (70.7 in), and the table is 2,700 x 1,500 mm (106.2 x 59 in).
Think of it as a roughing and boring machine for mid-sized plate work. A 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) motor drives the BT-50 / CAT-50 spindle through a two-range gearbox, with an oil cooler for spindle and gearbox as a standard accessory. Top speed in that configuration is 6,000 rpm. Low gear is where a 50-taper face mill earns its keep, and the spindle bearing of 90 mm (3.5 in) is sized for it.
Is the SH worth choosing over the 40-taper DMC-2600S? The frame, table and 24,400 kg (53,745 lb) weight are shared, so the decision rests on the tools. The SH holds cutters of 15 kg (33 lb) and 400 mm (15.7 in) length, where the DMC-2600S stops at 10 kg (22 lb) and 320 mm (12.6 in). If the work is deep pockets and large bores in steel, that margin matters more than spindle speed.
Side machining needs one of the optional heads: Johnford lists 5-Face, NC 2-Axis, universal and orthogonal milling heads for the series. The 800 mm (31.5 in) Z stroke and the 150~950 mm (5.9~37.4 in) nose-to-table distance have to accommodate the head as well as the part, which is worth settling before the order.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 50-taper spindle with a 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) Hi Lo Gear drive
- Tool capacity by weight and length: 15 kg (33 lb) and 400 mm (15.7 in)
- 2,600 mm (102.4 in) by 1,778 mm (70 in) of travel in X and Y
- 10,000 rpm built-in spindles of 26 / 31 kW (34.9 / 41.6 hp) or 31 / 40 kW (41.6 / 53.6 hp) are available
- Oil cooler for spindle and gearbox included as standard
Limitations
- 6,000 rpm on the geared spindle limits small-tool finishing
- Z travel is 800 mm (31.5 in), which an optional milling head shortens further in practice
- The 10,000 kg (22,000 lb) table rating does not rise with the longer table
- Tool diameter is Ø125 mm (Ø5 in) unless adjacent pockets are kept empty

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A BT-50 / CAT-50 spindle with a 90 mm (3.5 in) bearing diameter. The standard drive is 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp) with a Hi Lo Gear at 6,000 rpm, and HSK A100 is listed as an optional taper.
02
Length only. The DMC-2100SH has 2,100 mm (82.7 in) of X on a 2,200 x 1,500 mm (86.6 x 59 in) table and weighs 22,800 kg (50,220 lb). The DMC-2600SH has 2,600 mm (102.4 in) of X and a 2,700 mm long table. Spindle, Y, Z and table load are the same.
03
Yes. The standard spindle is driven through a Hi Lo Gear, and an oil cooler for the spindle and gearbox is among the standard accessories. The optional built-in spindles replace the geared drive.
04
The table load capacity is 10,000 kg (22,000 lb) on a 2,700 x 1,500 mm (106.2 x 59 in) surface. Fixtures and any rotary equipment count toward that figure.
