How much does the Mazak QTE-100M 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 QTE-100M is a 6 in chuck turning center with a milling turret: a 6,000 rpm main spindle, a 4,500 rpm rotary tool spindle and 12 tools. It sits on Mazak's 500U bed, with a Ø13 in (330 mm) maximum turning diameter, a 22 in (559 mm) maximum turning length and Ø2 in (51 mm) of bar capacity.
The chuck is small for the frame. Swing is Ø27 in (686 mm) and Z travel 24 in (610 mm), the same as on the 8 in chuck QTE-200M, which tops out at 5,000 rpm. X travel is 8 in (203 mm). The 100M is the one to pick when the parts are small in diameter and the extra spindle speed matters more than bar size.
On the milling side the rotary tool spindle is rated 7 kW (40% ED). Mazak's table for this model stops there. It gives no rotary-tool torque, and no power or torque rows for the main spindle either. Mazak describes the QTE series spindle as a built-in motor designed for high torque in the low-speed range, but with no figure for this model the cutting capacity has to be taken from the quotation, not from the table.
One point needs clearing up before ordering. Mazak's model list files the QTE-100M SG under Milling and Second Spindle, yet this table has no second-spindle rows, unlike the QTE-100MSY, which lists a 5 in second chuck at 6,000 rpm. There is no Y-axis row here either; the QTE-100MY has 4 in (102 mm) of Y travel.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A 6 in chuck, a Ø13 in (330 mm) maximum turning diameter, a 22 in (559 mm) maximum turning length, a Ø27 in (686 mm) swing and Ø2 in (51 mm) of bar capacity. X travel is 8 in (203 mm), Z travel is 24 in (610 mm) and the turret holds 12 tools.
02
Mazak's model list describes the QTE-100M SG as Milling, Second Spindle. The table for the model has no second-spindle chuck, speed or W-axis rows, while the QTE-100MSY table has all three, including a 5 in chuck and 23 in (584 mm) of W-axis travel. Ask Mazak to confirm the spindle configuration in writing.
03
A rotary tool spindle that runs to 4,500 rpm with a 7 kW (40% ED) motor. No rotary-tool torque is given and there is no Y axis, so milled and drilled features need to sit on the spindle centreline. For Y-axis work the QTE-100MY has 4 in (102 mm) of Y travel.
04
The QTE-200M has an 8 in chuck, 5,000 rpm, 9 in (229 mm) of X travel and Ø3 in (76 mm) of bar capacity, with spindle power of 11 kW continuous. The 100M has a 6 in chuck, 6,000 rpm, 8 in (203 mm) of X travel and Ø2 in (51 mm) of bar capacity. Swing, Z travel, turret tool count and the 4,500 rpm rotary tool speed are the same.
