How much does the Mazak QTE-200 SG 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-200 SG is the plain turning model of the QTE series in the 8 in chuck size, built on the short 300U bed. Its table has X and Z rows only: 8 in (203 mm) of X travel and 13 in (330 mm) of Z travel, with a 5,000 rpm spindle and an 8-tool turret.
Thirteen inches of Z defines the machine. It is a chucker for discs, flanges, bushings and short bar parts, and the Ø14 in (356 mm) maximum turning diameter is larger than the stroke is long. Swing is Ø23 in (584 mm) and bar capacity is Ø2 in (51 mm). A tailstock with an MT No.4 taper is in the table for the parts that do need end support.
The spindle is rated 11 kW (15 HP) continuous and 15 kW (20 HP) (40% ED). Having both figures is useful: the continuous one is what to size steady roughing on, and the 40% ED one is the headroom for shorter cuts. Mazak describes the QTE series spindle as a built-in motor designed for high torque in the low-speed range, though this table gives no torque value.
The QTE-200M shares the 8 in chuck, the 5,000 rpm limit and the 11 kW continuous rating, and differs in almost everything else: a Ø27 in (686 mm) swing, 24 in (610 mm) of Z travel, 12 tools, a 4,500 rpm milling spindle and Ø3 in (76 mm) of bar capacity. The SG is the choice when the work is short, needs no milling, and eight tools are enough.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Spindle rated 11 kW (15 HP) continuous and 15 kW (20 HP) (40% ED) at up to 5,000 rpm
- Ø14 in (356 mm) maximum turning diameter on an 8 in chuck
- Tailstock with an MT No.4 taper listed in the table
- Short 300U bed with 13 in (330 mm) of Z travel for chucker work
- Built-in motor spindle, which Mazak describes for the QTE series as designed for high torque in the low-speed range
Limitations
- 13 in (330 mm) of Z travel rules out longer shafts; the QTE-200M has 24 in (610 mm)
- 8 tools on the turret, against 12 tools on the QTE-200M
- No milling spindle or Y-axis rows in the table, so every cross hole or flat is a separate operation
- Ø2 in (51 mm) bar capacity, where the QTE-200M passes Ø3 in (76 mm)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Z travel is 13 in (330 mm) on the 300U bed, and Mazak's table for this model gives no separate maximum turning length. Plan on parts comfortably shorter than the Z travel once chuck jaws and tool clearance are allowed for. For longer work the QTE-200M has 24 in (610 mm) of Z travel.
02
11 kW (15 HP) continuous and 15 kW (20 HP) (40% ED), with a top speed of 5,000 rpm. The table gives no torque figure. Bar capacity through the spindle is Ø2 in (51 mm) and the chuck is 8 in.
03
Its table has no milling spindle rows and no Y axis. The turret holds 8 tools. In the same chuck size, the QTE-200M table lists a 4,500 rpm milling spindle rated 3.7 kW continuous and a 12-tool turret.
04
The QTE-200M is the longer milling model: a Ø27 in (686 mm) swing, 9 in (229 mm) of X, 24 in (610 mm) of Z, 12 tools and Ø3 in (76 mm) of bar capacity, with a Ø13 in (330 mm) maximum turning diameter. The SG has a Ø23 in (584 mm) swing, 8 in (203 mm) of X, 13 in (330 mm) of Z, 8 tools and a Ø14 in (356 mm) maximum turning diameter. Chuck size, 5,000 rpm and 11 kW continuous are common to both.
