Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Matsuura Machinery. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Matsuura VX-660 is a vertical machining center in the VX range with 660 mm (26.0 in) of X travel, a spindle listed at 50 - 15000 rpm and rated at 15 kW (20 hp), and a table load of 500 kg (1,102 lb). Rapid traverse is 42 m/min (1,654 ipm).

Its table is short. Y and Z travel, taper and tool capacity are not given, and the maximum workpiece row reads 940 × 550 (37.01 × 21.65) without a unit, so the work envelope has to be confirmed with Matsuura before a part is quoted. The feed rate row is also unclear as listed and should be checked.

What the table does give places it below the VX-1000, which has 1,020 mm (40.1 in) of X and 30 tools as standard. A shop choosing between them should start from part length: the VX-660 suits work that fits within 660 mm of X, and the VX-1000 takes the longer parts.
