How much does the KAAST V-Mill 1630 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the KAAST V-Mill 1630 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 1630 is a long-travel vertical machining center: 1,630 mm (64 in) in X, 850 mm (33 in) in Y and 815 mm (32 in) in Z, over a 1,750 x 800 mm (69 x 31.5 in) table rated for 2,760 kg (6,085 lb). At 12,465 kg (27,480 lb) it weighs more than twice as much as the V-Mill 810.
What does not grow with the machine is the spindle. The V-Mill 1630 uses the same 12,000 rpm, 26 kW (35 hp) BT40 / CAT40 spindle as the V-Mill 810, so the larger envelope buys part size and part weight, not heavier cutting. A long plate or weldment can be finished in one setup, but metal comes off no faster than on the smaller machine.
Six T-slots of 18 mm (0.7 in) at a 125 mm (4.9 in) pitch run along the table. Spindle nose to table distance is 100-915 mm (4-36 in), which leaves height for tall fixtures and stacked setups while keeping the nose 100 mm (4 in) off the bare table. The spindle center is 865 mm (34 in) from the column.
Size costs a little in motion and accuracy. Rapids are 33 m/min (1,300 in/min) in X and Y and 25 m/min (980 in/min) in Z. Positioning accuracy is listed as ±0.015 mm (±0.0006 in) and repeatability as ±0.005 mm (±0.0002 in). The V-Mill 810 is listed at 44 m/min (1,730 in/min) in X and Y and ±0.01 mm (±0.0004 in).
The standard magazine holds 28 tools, with 36 or 60 as options, and the 60-tool magazine is the one to look at for long jobs on large parts. Each tool is limited to 65 mm (2.6 in) in diameter with a full magazine, 130 mm (5.1 in) with adjacent pockets empty, 250 mm (9.8 in) in length and 7 kg (15 lb). The footprint is 4,730 x 3,525 mm (186 x 139 in), and the control is the Fanuc 0i-MF.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,630 x 850 x 815 mm (64 x 33 x 32 in) of travel for long plates, rails and weldments
- Table load of 2,760 kg (6,085 lb), against 1,080 kg (2,380 lb) on the V-Mill 810
- Up to 915 mm (36 in) between spindle nose and table for tall parts and fixtures
- Magazine options of 36 or 60 tools beyond the standard 28
- Six 18 mm (0.7 in) T-slots at a 125 mm (4.9 in) pitch on a 1,750 x 800 mm (69 x 31.5 in) table
Limitations
- The spindle is the same 26 kW (35 hp), 12,000 rpm unit as on the V-Mill 810; no heavier spindle appears in the listed figures
- Tool weight is capped at 7 kg (15 lb) and tool length at 250 mm (9.8 in), restrictive against 815 mm (32 in) of Z travel
- Rapids of 33 m/min (1,300 in/min) in X and Y are slower than the 44 m/min (1,730 in/min) of the V-Mill 810
- Needs 4,730 x 3,525 mm (186 x 139 in) of floor and a foundation for 12,465 kg (27,480 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table is 1,750 x 800 mm (69 x 31.5 in) and takes 2,760 kg (6,085 lb). Travels are 1,630 mm (64 in) in X, 850 mm (33 in) in Y and 815 mm (32 in) in Z, and the distance from spindle nose to table is 100-915 mm (4-36 in). Six T-slots of 18 mm (0.7 in) at a 125 mm (4.9 in) pitch hold the work.
02
No. Both the V-Mill 1630 and the V-Mill 810 are listed with a 12,000 rpm, 26 kW (35 hp) spindle and a BT40 or CAT40 taper. The V-Mill 1630 is the larger machine in travel, table load and weight, not in spindle rating.
03
28 tools are standard, and 36-tool and 60-tool magazines are options. Tools can be up to 65 mm (2.6 in) in diameter, or 130 mm (5.1 in) with the adjacent pockets empty, up to 250 mm (9.8 in) long and up to 7 kg (15 lb).
04
Positioning accuracy of ±0.015 mm (±0.0006 in) and repeatability of ±0.005 mm (±0.0002 in). For comparison, the V-Mill 810 is listed at ±0.01 mm (±0.0004 in) and ±0.003 mm (±0.00012 in) over its shorter travels.
05
The listed footprint is 4,730 x 3,525 mm (186 x 139 in) in length and width, and the machine weighs 12,465 kg (27,480 lb). Add the 2,760 kg (6,085 lb) the table can carry when checking the floor. No machine height is given in the listed figures.
