How much does the Leadwell V-42iT cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Leadwell. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Leadwell V-42iT is a vertical machining center with 1,070 x 530 x 560 mm (42.1 x 20.9 x 22.0 in) of travel and a 1,120 x 530 mm (44.1 x 20.9 in) table rated for 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). The listed figures are unverified and have not been confirmed against a Leadwell page.
Size and load are what separate it from the smaller machine with the same style of name. The V-30iT is listed with 762 mm (30.0 in) of X, an 800 x 430 mm (31.5 x 16.9 in) table and a 500 kg (1,102 lb) load. The V-42iT doubles that load on a table 1,120 mm long. Power rises as well: 18.5 / 15 kW (25 / 20 hp) here against 15 / 11 kW (20 / 15 hp) on the V-30iT, in both cases two ratings that the table leaves unlabelled.
Table and travel match in Y at 530 mm (20.9 in), so the full depth of the table is within reach. In X the table is longer than the travel, which means the ends of a part that fills the table cannot be machined; plan long parts around 1,070 mm (42.1 in). Z travel of 560 mm (22.0 in) leaves height for tall fixtures.
Spindle speed is 10,000 RPM as listed, with 12,000 and 15,000 RPM options, on a No. 40 taper given as BT40 / CAT40. The changer is a 24-tool arm type and the maximum feed rate is 36,000 mm/min (1,417 ipm). The control is a Fanuc 0iMF, or optionally a Mitsubishi M80, and the weight is approx. 8,000 kg (17,637 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,070 mm (42.1 in) of X travel with a 1,120 x 530 mm (44.1 x 20.9 in) table
- Table load of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb), double the 500 kg (1,102 lb) of the V-30iT
- Spindle power listed as 18.5 / 15 kW (25 / 20 hp)
- 24 tools in an arm-type ATC and a maximum feed rate of 36,000 mm/min (1,417 ipm)
- 560 mm (22.0 in) of Z travel
Limitations
- 12,000 and 15,000 RPM are options; the listed speed is 10,000 RPM
- The table is longer than the X travel, so the ends of a full-length part are out of reach
- No torque, tool change time or accuracy figures are listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Travels are 1,070 mm (42.1 in) in X, 530 mm (20.9 in) in Y and 560 mm (22.0 in) in Z. The table measures 1,120 x 530 mm (44.1 x 20.9 in) and the maximum table load is 1,000 kg (2,205 lb). All of these are listed figures that have not been verified.
02
The V-30iT is listed with 762 mm (30.0 in) of X, an 800 x 430 mm (31.5 x 16.9 in) table, a 500 kg (1,102 lb) load, 15 / 11 kW (20 / 15 hp) and a weight of approx. 5,500 kg (12,125 lb). The V-42iT has 1,070 mm (42.1 in) of X, a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) load, 18.5 / 15 kW (25 / 20 hp) and weighs approx. 8,000 kg (17,637 lb).
03
The listed speed is 10,000 RPM, and 12,000 and 15,000 RPM are options. Power is 18.5 / 15 kW (25 / 20 hp). The taper is No. 40, given as BT40 / CAT40, so the holder standard has to be checked on the machine. No torque figure appears in the table.
04
The control is a Fanuc 0iMF, with a Mitsubishi M80 optional. The tool changer is an arm-type ATC with 24 tools. Maximum feed rate is 36,000 mm/min (1,417 ipm). Tool size limits and change time are not listed.
