How much does the New Britain Model 42 CNC Multi-Spindle cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a multi-spindle automatic in this class — not a quote from New Britain Machine. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The New Britain Model 42 is a 6-spindle CNC multi-spindle bar machine listed with a 42 mm (1.65 in) maximum bar diameter, a 6,000 rpm maximum spindle speed and 11 kW (15 hp) per spindle. New Britain Machine's current range does not include it and the table has not been checked against a maker's page, so these are the listed figures for an older model.
Power per spindle is the row that stands out. With 11 kW (15 hp) at each of six spindles, every station can take a real cut instead of sharing one motor, and 6,000 rpm keeps surface speed up on bar well under the 42 mm (1.65 in) limit, where brass and aluminium parts need it. Tooling positions are listed as 6 cross slide stations plus multiple end-working and auxiliary slides; the table does not count the end-working slides.
Stock comes from an external bar feeder taking 3,000 mm (118 in) bar lengths, so the loader adds to the footprint of a machine listed at approximately 16,000 kg (35,300 lb). No control is named in the table.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 11 kW (15 hp) listed per spindle, on each of 6 spindles
- 6,000 rpm maximum spindle speed suits small-diameter bar within the 42 mm (1.65 in) capacity
- Takes 3,000 mm (118 in) bar lengths from an external bar feeder
Limitations
- Bar diameter is limited to 42 mm (1.65 in)
- The table names no control and does not count the end-working slides
- Outside the maker's current range, and the listed figures are unconfirmed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give a maximum bar diameter of 42 mm (1.65 in) and a bar length of 3,000 mm (118 in) with an external bar feeder. Allow floor space for that feeder alongside the machine.
02
The table lists 11 kW (15 hp) per spindle and a 6,000 rpm maximum spindle speed across 6 spindles. These figures have not been confirmed against a maker's page, so check the drive data on the machine being considered.
03
Approximately 16,000 kg (35,300 lb) according to the listed figures, before the external bar feeder is added. Confirm the weight from the machine's data plate when planning rigging and the foundation.
