How much does the Onsrud 120GW8 5-Axis cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 120GW8 5-Axis that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
A ten-by-eight-foot table under a 28 in (711 mm) stroke gives the Onsrud 120GW8 5-Axis the proportions of a mould-making machine. The table is 120 in (3,048 mm) in X by 96 in (2,439 mm) in Y. Onsrud lists the code in the 28 in block of its G-Series 5-Axis table only.
Compared with the narrow 121G 5-Axis, which has the same length and stroke, the gain is in Y: 96 in (2,439 mm) against 61 in (1,550 mm). For 5-axis work that is nearly three extra feet of part. The head has to pass down both sides of a mould with room to tilt, and on a wide table a part of real width still leaves that room.
The frame is 227 in (5,766 mm) long, 172 in (4,369 mm) wide and 155 in (3,937 mm) high. Note the height. In Onsrud's 3-axis table the 120GW8 is listed taller than this, at 167 in (4,242 mm), for the same stroke.
Three vacuum zones are standard. The spindle is 18 hp (13.4 kW) at 24,000 rpm, and tool capacity is 12. Mould work mixes heavy roughing with long finishing passes, so the 33 hp (24.6 kW) spindle and the maker's tool measurement devices are both relevant. If 40 in of stroke is needed on an eight-foot table, the model is the 96GW8 5-Axis.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
120 in (3,048 mm) in X by 96 in (2,439 mm) in Y, with a 28 in (711 mm) Z-stroke and 3 vacuum zones as standard.
02
155 in (3,937 mm) in Onsrud's 5-axis table. The machine is 227 in (5,766 mm) long and 172 in (4,369 mm) wide. The 3-axis 120GW8 is listed at 167 in (4,242 mm), so confirm the height for the machine being quoted.
03
Not under this code. The 40 in block lists the 96GW8 5-Axis instead, with a smaller table of 96 in (2,439 mm) by 96 in (2,439 mm) and a machine height of 167 in (4,242 mm).
04
The head needs room beside the part to tilt and reach the lower walls. On the 96 in (2,439 mm) wide table of the 120GW8 5-Axis, a part four or five feet across still leaves that room on both sides.
