How much does the Litz TX-1000 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Litz TX-1000 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 Litz TX-1000 takes the tapping-center formula to a full metre of X travel: 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in X, 500 mm (19.7 in) in Y and 350 mm (13.8 in) in Z, with a 12,000 rpm BT-30 spindle and a 21-tool disc type magazine.
It is not just a stretched TX-700. Y grows by 100 mm, the table becomes 1,100 x 500 mm (43.3 x 19.7 in), load capacity rises to 350 kg (772 lb), and the cutting feed range extends to 30,000 mm/min where the TX-700 stops at 20,000 mm/min. The coolant tank is larger too, at 300 L. Rapids stay at 48 / 48 / 48 m/min (1,890 / 1,890 / 1,890 ipm).
Who needs a metre-long 30-taper machine? Shops machining laptop and tablet chassis, long extrusions, panel parts and lighting housings, where the features are small holes and shallow pockets spread over a large area. A larger-taper machine of this travel would be slower between features and no better in the cut on that kind of work.
Limits are those of the taper. The motor is 3.5 / 5.5 kW (4.7 / 7.4 hp), tools weigh at most 3 kg (7 lb), and Z travel is only 350 mm with 150 to 500 mm (5.9 to 19.7 in) under the spindle nose. Machine weight is 4,100 kg (9,039 lb) on a 15 kVA supply.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,000 x 500 mm of X and Y travel on a BT-30 machine
- Cutting feed up to 30,000 mm/min, above the 20,000 mm/min of the TX-700
- 48 / 48 / 48 m/min (1,890 / 1,890 / 1,890 ipm) rapids
- 350 kg (772 lb) table load and a 300 L coolant tank
Limitations
- Z travel of 350 mm (13.8 in)
- 3.5 / 5.5 kW (4.7 / 7.4 hp) motor and 3 kg (7 lb) tool limit
