How much does the Mazak QTE-100MS 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-100MS is presented here as the small QTE turning center with rotary tools and a second spindle. The listed figures show a 6,000 RPM main spindle on an A2-5 nose, a 6,000 RPM sub-spindle with a 5 in chuck, and a 12-station live tooling turret, all under the MAZATROL SmoothEz control.
Buyers should know that Mazak's model list for the QTE series does not include a machine under this exact name. The list has eight entries. In the 100 size they are the QTE-100 SG, the QTE-100M SG (shown as Milling, Second Spindle), the QTE-100MY SG (Milling, Y-axis) and the QTE-100MSY SG (Milling, Second Spindle, Y-axis). An enquiry about a milling lathe with a second spindle and no Y-axis should therefore start from the QTE-100M SG entry, and the figures on this page should be confirmed against what Mazak quotes.
As listed, the main spindle is 7.5 kW (10 hp) and the sub-spindle 5.5 kW (7.4 hp). Neither figure carries a duty rating, so they cannot be set beside a continuous rating from another table. Rotary tools are listed at 4,500 RPM and 2.2 kW (3 hp), which is drilling and light milling territory. Bar capacity is listed at 42 mm (1.65 in) and machine weight at 3,000 kg (6,614 lb).
What Mazak does state for the whole QTE series: a built-in motor spindle, 8 and 12 position drum turrets with a 25 mm × 25 mm tool shank, and optional automation that includes the Ez LOADER collaborative-robot system and a gantry loader.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed second spindle: 6,000 RPM, 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) and a 5 in chuck, for machining both ends of a part in one cycle
- 12-station live tooling turret, with rotary tools listed at 4,500 RPM and 2.2 kW (3 hp)
- MAZATROL SmoothEz control; Mazak says its digital setup function can replicate the machine on an office PC
- Mazak offers the Ez LOADER collaborative-robot system and a gantry loader as optional automation in the QTE series
Limitations
- Mazak's QTE model list has no entry named QTE-100MS; the nearest listed configuration is the QTE-100M SG, shown as Milling, Second Spindle
- No Y-axis is listed; off-centre milling points to the QTE-100MSY, whose table shows 4 in (102 mm) of Y travel
- The listed 7.5 kW (10 hp) main spindle power carries no duty rating
- Bar capacity is listed at 42 mm (1.65 in), which rules out larger bar work

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Not under that name. Mazak's QTE series list names eight models: QTE-100 SG, QTE-100M SG, QTE-100MY SG, QTE-100MSY SG, QTE-200 SG, QTE-200M SG, QTE-200MY SG and QTE-200MSY SG. The QTE-100M SG is shown with Milling and a Second Spindle, which is the configuration this page describes.
02
Main spindle: 6,000 RPM, 7.5 kW (10 hp), A2-5 nose. Sub-spindle: 6,000 RPM, 5.5 kW (7.4 hp), 5 in chuck. No duty rating is given with either power figure. For reference, the QTE-100M table also shows a 6,000 rpm main spindle.
03
No Y-axis is listed for it, and the turret is described simply as a live tooling turret. On Mazak's model list the Y-axis machines of this size are the QTE-100MY SG (Milling, Y-axis) and the QTE-100MSY SG (Milling, Second Spindle, Y-axis). The QTE-100MSY table shows 4 in (102 mm) of Y travel.
04
The control is MAZATROL SmoothEz, which Mazak says supports digital setup on an office PC and touch-panel programming at the machine. Automation is optional: Mazak names the Ez LOADER collaborative-robot system and a gantry loader with a choice of loader hands and work conveyors.
