Overview

The Mazak SLANT TURN 450 appears here with listed figures only: a 2,500 RPM spindle with a 145 mm (5.71 in) bore on an A2-11 nose, and a 12-station disc turret. Mazak's SLANT TURN model list starts at the SLANT TURN 500 and ends at the SLANT TURN 800, with no 450 on it. Anyone weighing up one of these machines should confirm every figure from its own documentation.

Taken as listed, the 450 sits below the models on that list in bore and above them in speed. The SLANT TURN 500, the smallest model Mazak lists, has a Ø7 in (178 mm) bore and 1,600 rpm. X travel for the 450 is listed at 310 mm (12.20 in). Z travel is listed as a range, from 1,050 to 3,050 mm (41.34 to 120.08 in), which points to several bed lengths under one model name. Rapid traverse is given as 20 m/min (787 ipm) in both X and Z.

The turret row reads "Disc turret with optional live tooling", so rotary tools should not be assumed on any particular machine. The tailstock is listed as hydraulic with a programmable quill, and the weight as approximately 8,500 kg (18,739 lb).

The listed rows disagree with each other on maximum diameter, on turning length and on motor power. None of the three is quoted on this page. Take them from the machine's plate and manual before judging it for a job.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Listed top speed of 2,500 RPM, above the 1,600 rpm of the SLANT TURN 500
Listed 145 mm (5.71 in) spindle bore on an A2-11 spindle nose
Z travel listed from 1,050 to 3,050 mm (41.34 to 120.08 in), so shaft-length beds are part of the listing
Listed rapid traverse of 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and in Z

Limitations

Not on Mazak's SLANT TURN model list, which names the 500, 500M, 550, 550M, 600, 600M and 800
Live tooling is listed as optional on the disc turret, so a given machine may be turning-only
X travel is listed at 310 mm (12.20 in), less than the 18 in (457 mm) of the SLANT TURN 500
The listed rows conflict on maximum diameter, turning length and motor power, so none of them can be relied on without the machine's own documents

Best For

Shaft work on the longer beds, with Z travel listed up to 3,050 mm (120.08 in) Turning that needs up to 2,500 RPM on smaller diameters Stock within the listed 145 mm (5.71 in) spindle bore

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the SLANT TURN 450 on Mazak's current model list?

No. Mazak's SLANT TURN model list names the SLANT TURN 500, 500M, 550, 550M, 600, 600M and 800, and the 450 is not among them. Treat the figures on this page as listed figures and confirm them from the documentation of the machine being considered.

02 How does the SLANT TURN 450 compare with the SLANT TURN 500?

On the listed figures the 450 is the smaller, faster machine: 2,500 RPM and a 145 mm (5.71 in) bore, with 310 mm (12.20 in) of X travel. The SLANT TURN 500 has a Ø7 in (178 mm) bore, an 18 in chuck, 1,600 rpm and 18 in (457 mm) of X travel, and weighs 30,423 lb (13,800 kg). The 450 is listed at approximately 8,500 kg (18,739 lb).

03 Does the SLANT TURN 450 have live tooling?

Only as an option, on the listed figures. The turret is described as a 12-station disc turret with optional live tooling, and the table has no milling spindle speed or power rows. Check the individual machine: it may have been built as a turning-only lathe.

04 What travels are listed for the SLANT TURN 450?

X travel is listed at 310 mm (12.20 in). Z travel is listed as 1,050 to 3,050 mm (41.34 to 120.08 in), a range that implies more than one bed length, so establish which bed a given machine has. Rapid traverse is listed at 20 m/min (787 ipm) in both axes.
