How much does the Onsrud 148E cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 148E 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
The Onsrud 148E sits in the middle of the E-Series with twin tables 72 in (1,829 mm) deep. Like its siblings it is a 3-axis fixed-bridge router with an 18 hp (13.4 kW) spindle at 24,000 rpm, and the table X is 60 in (1,524 mm), 72 in (1,829 mm), 96 in (2,439 mm) or 120 in (3,048 mm) by width column.
This is the size where the vacuum table starts to scale. The W5 and W6 columns list 4 zones, and W8 and W10 list 4-8, so the larger tables can be ordered with finer zoning.
Six-foot depth suits plastics and composite sheet supplied wider than wood panel, and big moulds or patterns that would overhang a 60 in table. The frame grows accordingly: 284 in (7,214 mm) wide for W5 to W8 and 285 in (7,239 mm) for W10. Lengths are 147 in (3,734 mm), 160 in (4,064 mm), 213 in (5,411 mm) and 263 in (6,681 mm). The height stays 106 in (2,693 mm).
Onsrud credits the series' drive motors with high feed rates and quick acceleration and deceleration for deep cuts. Standard tooling is 12 positions and standard Z-stroke 11 in (279 mm). Upgrades run to a 24 hp (17.9 kW) spindle, 8 spindles, 24 tools, a second changer and a 40 in (1,016 mm) Z-stroke.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
72 in (1,829 mm) in Y on both tables. Table X is set by the width column, from 60 in (1,524 mm) in W5 to 120 in (3,048 mm) in W10.
02
Onsrud lists 4 as standard for the W5 and W6 columns and 4-8 for W8 and W10. Ask which count applies to the quoted machine, since the range is printed without further detail.
03
284 in (7,214 mm) in the W5, W6 and W8 columns and 285 in (7,239 mm) in W10. Machine height is 106 in (2,693 mm) with the standard 11 in (279 mm) Z-stroke.
04
Onsrud points to a rigid, heavy-duty fixed steel base, columns and bridge that absorb cutting vibration, and to responsive drive motors with high feed rates and quick acceleration and deceleration.
