How much does the Johnford ST-130BX cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Johnford ST-130BX 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 ST-130BX has 3,050 mm (120.1 in) of Z travel on the 1,200 mm (47.2 in) swing frame, with the A2-11 spindle. It weighs 20,300 kg (44,660 lb).
The same bed and spindle exist on two smaller frames, and the weights show how the three relate. The ST-130B is listed at 20,100 kg (44,220 lb) and the ST-130BH at 20,200 kg (44,440 lb). Each step up in frame adds swing for very little mass: the ST-130B has 700 mm (27.6 in) over the cross slide, the ST-130BH 800 mm (31.5 in) and the ST-130BX 1,000 mm (39.4 in). The larger frames are therefore not stiffer in proportion to their swing, and a full-diameter part on this model should be cut with that in mind.
What the X frame does add is reach. X travel is 520 mm (20.5 in), and the machine stands 3,175 mm (125 in) high and 2,645 mm (104.1 in) wide.
Spindle speed is 2,000 rpm with four automatic speeds. Power is 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp), optionally 30 / 37 kW (40.2 / 49.6 hp). The tailstock travels 2,750 mm (108.3 in) and carries a Ø200 mm (7.9 in) MT#7 quill; steady rests are optional.
