How much does the KAAST V-Mill 1000.5X cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the KAAST V-Mill 1000.5X 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 KAAST V-Mill 1000.5X is a 5-axis machining center with a rectangular 1000x800 mm table rated for 1,500 kg. The standard spindle is a BT 40 unit with 16,000 rpm, 15 / 22.5 kW and 48/72 Nm, and KAAST lists the control as the Heidenhain iTNC 640.
The load rating is what separates it from the round-table 5X models. The V-Mill 600.5X is listed at 500 kg (1,100 lb) at 0° on a Ø600 mm (23 in) table, and the V-Mill 620.5X at 300 kg (660 lb) at 0° on a Ø650 mm (25 in) table. Its 40-tool magazine is also larger than the 30 tools of the V-Mill 600.5X and the 32 of the V-Mill 620.5X.
Two optional spindles are listed. One is a 14,000 rpm spindle rated 29.3 / 35 kW and 70/160 Nm, the choice when torque matters more than speed: its upper torque figure is more than double the 72 Nm of the standard spindle. The other is rated 25/35 kW and 90/95 Nm at 18,000 rpm and is listed with an HSK-A63 taper. Each spindle is given with two power and two torque figures and no note on the duty behind them, so ask which is the continuous rating.
The listed figures stop there. They include no axis travels, no rotary axis ranges, no rapid rates and no machine weight or footprint. Get those from KAAST before judging whether a part fits.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1000x800 mm table rated for 1,500 kg, three times the 500 kg (1,100 lb) at 0° of the V-Mill 600.5X
- Standard BT 40 spindle with 16,000 rpm, 15 / 22.5 kW and 48/72 Nm
- Optional spindles: 14,000 rpm with 70/160 Nm for heavier cuts, or 18,000 rpm with an HSK-A63 taper
- 40-tool magazine, against 32 tools on the V-Mill 620.5X
Limitations
- The listed figures give no axis travels or rotary ranges, so the working envelope has to be confirmed with KAAST
- The standard spindle's 48/72 Nm is modest for roughing on a table that takes 1,500 kg; the 70/160 Nm spindle is an option
- HSK-A63 is listed only with the optional 18,000 rpm spindle; the standard spindle is BT 40

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Three are listed. The standard spindle is BT 40 with 16,000 rpm, 15 / 22.5 kW and 48/72 Nm. The first option is rated 29.3 / 35 kW and 70/160 Nm with 14,000 rpm. The second option is rated 25/35 kW and 90/95 Nm with 18,000 rpm and an HSK-A63 taper.
02
The 1000x800 mm table is rated for 1,500 kg. The listed figures give that single rating with no table position attached, so confirm how it applies across the rotary axis positions if the part is near the limit.
03
It carries far more weight and more tools. The V-Mill 600.5X is listed at 500 kg (1,100 lb) at 0° with 30 tools and a 15,000 rpm spindle, and the V-Mill 620.5X at 300 kg (660 lb) at 0° with 32 tools and 12,000 rpm. The V-Mill 1000.5X is rated for 1,500 kg, holds 40 tools and runs to 16,000 rpm as standard.
