How much does the Matsuura H.Plus-300 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Matsuura. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Matsuura H.Plus-300 is the smallest H.Plus horizontal machining center, built on a 300 x 300 mm (11.8 x 11.8 in) pallet with 500 mm (19.7 in) of X, 560 mm (22.0 in) of Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z. The part envelope is tall for that pallet: Ø 530 × H 760 mm (Ø 20.86 × H 29.92 in) with PC5 or PC15, and Ø 500 × H 760 mm (Ø 19.68 × H 29.92 in) with PC11. That makes it a machine for small parts stacked several high on a tombstone, or for slim, tall parts, rather than for wide plates.
It is also the fastest H.Plus as standard. The spindle runs to 15,000 rpm BT40, where the H.Plus-405 and H.Plus-504 start at 12,000 rpm, and a 20,000 rpm BT40 spindle is optional. HSK-A63 is offered in place of BT40. Power is 11 / 15 kW (15 / 20 hp) and torque 100 Nm, so the H.Plus-300 is set up for high spindle speed on aluminium and small steel parts rather than for heavy roughing.
Through-spindle coolant runs at 20 bar as standard and 70 bar as an option. The higher pressure is the one to choose for deep drilling and for clearing chips from pockets in tough materials. The magazine holds 40 tools as standard, with 60 and 90 optional; with a tombstone carrying several different parts, the 40-tool magazine runs out first.
The table here does not give a pallet load, rapid traverse or B-axis figure, so get those from Matsuura when sizing fixtures.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 15,000 rpm BT40 spindle as standard, 20,000 rpm optional
- Tall part envelope of Ø 530 × H 760 mm (Ø 20.86 × H 29.92 in) with PC5 or PC15
- Through-spindle coolant at 20 bar standard, 70 bar optional
- Compact 300 x 300 mm (11.8 x 11.8 in) pallet with 560 mm (22.0 in) of Y
- Magazine options of 60 and 90 tools beyond the 40 standard
Limitations
- 100 Nm of torque and 11 / 15 kW (15 / 20 hp) limit heavy roughing in steel
- The 300 x 300 mm (11.8 x 11.8 in) pallet restricts wide parts and large fixtures
- 40 tools as standard is tight for multi-part tombstones
- No pallet load, rapid traverse or B-axis figure is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to Ø 530 × H 760 mm (Ø 20.86 × H 29.92 in) with PC5 or PC15, and Ø 500 × H 760 mm (Ø 19.68 × H 29.92 in) with PC11, on a 300 x 300 mm (11.8 x 11.8 in) pallet. The height is generous; the pallet footprint is what limits wide work.
02
15,000 rpm BT40 as standard, with 20,000 rpm BT40 optional and HSK-A63 as an alternative taper. It is rated 11 / 15 kW (15 / 20 hp) and 100 Nm, which favours high-speed cutting over heavy stock removal.
03
The H.Plus-405 has 660 mm (26.0 in) of travel on all three axes and takes parts up to Ø 700 × H 850 mm (Ø 27.55 × H 33.46 in). The H.Plus-405 starts at 12,000 rpm BT40, with 15,000 rpm Power-Up and 20,000 rpm as options. The H.Plus-300 is smaller but runs 15,000 rpm as standard.
04
40 as standard, with 60 and 90 as options. With several different parts on one tombstone the tool count fills quickly, so size the magazine to the whole fixture rather than to one part.
