How much does the Mazak QT-Ez 10M cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Mazak QT-Ez 10M is a 10 in chuck turning center with a 4,200 rpm spindle, a 12-tool turret and a turning envelope of Ø14 in (356 mm) by 20 in (508 mm). Bar capacity is Ø3 in (76 mm) and the spindle motor is rated 15 kW (20 HP) (30 min. rating).
Set beside the QT-Ez 10, each working dimension is a step smaller. The QT-Ez 10 turns Ø16 in (406 mm) by 23 in (584 mm) at up to 4,500 rpm with 25 in (635 mm) of Z travel. The M model turns Ø14 in (356 mm) by 20 in (508 mm), runs to 4,200 rpm and has 24 in (610 mm) of Z. Chuck size, bar capacity, the 9 in (229 mm) X travel, the Ø27 in (686 mm) swing and the tool count do not change.
What the table leaves out is what the M version adds in return. It has no rotary-tool speed or power row, and no Y-axis or second-spindle row either. Anyone weighing the two models should ask Mazak for the turret and tooling specification of the QT-Ez 10M in writing, because the published rows by themselves show only the smaller envelope.
A Ø14 in (356 mm) limit still covers most work a 10 in chuck will hold. Length is the tighter constraint: 20 in (508 mm) against 23 in (584 mm) on the QT-Ez 10, so shafts near the long end of the range belong on the other model. The same Ø14 in (356 mm) by 20 in (508 mm) figures appear on the QT-Ez 10MY, which adds 4 in (102 mm) of Y travel.
On the coolant side, Mazak's QT-Ez series page lists a coolant system, an additional head-side coolant nozzle, coolant temperature control and SUPERFLOW 1000 psi high-pressure coolant. Whether any of these is included has to be read off the quotation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 10 in chuck with Ø3 in (76 mm) bar capacity, the same as the QT-Ez 10
- Spindle motor rated 15 kW (20 HP) (30 min. rating) with a 4,200 rpm top speed
- 12 tools and 24 in (610 mm) of Z travel under a Ø27 in (686 mm) swing
- Runs faster than the 12 in chuck QT-Ez 12M, which is limited to 3,300 rpm
Limitations
- Turning envelope of Ø14 in (356 mm) by 20 in (508 mm) is smaller than the Ø16 in (406 mm) by 23 in (584 mm) of the QT-Ez 10
- Mazak's table has no rotary-tool, Y-axis or second-spindle rows for this model, so what the M adds is not documented in the listed figures
- Top speed drops to 4,200 rpm from the 4,500 rpm of the QT-Ez 10
- Only a 30 min. rating is published for the spindle motor, with no continuous or torque figure

Frequently Asked Questions
01
In the listed figures, the QT-Ez 10M has a smaller envelope and a slightly lower top speed: Ø14 in (356 mm) by 20 in (508 mm), 4,200 rpm and 24 in (610 mm) of Z travel. The QT-Ez 10 lists Ø16 in (406 mm) by 23 in (584 mm), 4,500 rpm and 25 in (635 mm). Both have a 10 in chuck, Ø3 in (76 mm) bar capacity, 12 tools and a 15 kW (20 HP) (30 min. rating) motor.
02
No. Mazak's table for the QT-Ez 10M has no rotary-tool spindle speed or power row and no Y-axis row. If milling or drilling with rotary tools is the reason for considering this model, request the rotary-tool speed, power and the number of driven stations from Mazak before ordering.
03
The QT-Ez 12M has a 12 in chuck and a 3,300 rpm spindle rated 22 kW (30 HP) (30 min. rating), and turns Ø14 in (356 mm) by 19 in (483 mm). The QT-Ez 10M has a 10 in chuck, 4,200 rpm and 15 kW (20 HP) (30 min. rating), and turns Ø14 in (356 mm) by 20 in (508 mm). Both pass Ø3 in (76 mm) bar and hold 12 tools.
04
Bar up to Ø3 in (76 mm) passes through the spindle. Chucked parts can be turned up to Ø14 in (356 mm) in diameter and 20 in (508 mm) in length, with X travel of 9 in (229 mm) and a swing of Ø27 in (686 mm).
