How much does the Onsrud 169G cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 169G 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
Fourteen feet of table and 28 in (711 mm) of Z: the Onsrud 169G is the second size in the tall-stroke block of the 3-axis G-Series. Onsrud lists the table at 169 in (4,293 mm) by 61 in (1,550 mm), with 4 vacuum zones.
Four zones suggest two working halves of about seven feet each. For short, tall workpieces that is a practical pendulum arrangement. One block is machined while the next is set up at the other end, and neither setup waits for the other.
The machine is 275 in (6,985 mm) long, 142 in (3,607 mm) wide and 155 in (3,937 mm) high. Those last two figures are shared by every five-foot-wide model with this stroke, so within the group only the length changes from size to size. Against the 193G, the low-stroke machine of similar frame length, the 169G has a table two feet shorter.
The head is standard G-Series: one spindle of 18 hp (13.4 kW), 24,000 rpm, 12 tools. Deep cuts with long tools ask more of a spindle than sheet nesting does. If the work is dense plastic or aluminum plate at depth, the 24 hp (17.9 kW) option is worth specifying from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
169 in (4,293 mm) in X by 61 in (1,550 mm) in Y, with 4 vacuum zones as standard. That is a fourteen-foot bed one five-foot sheet wide.
02
Onsrud's table gives the 28 in machines shorter tables than the low-stroke machines of the same frame class. The 193G lists 192.5 in (4,890 mm); the 169G lists 169 in (4,293 mm). The maker's page does not explain the difference.
03
275 in (6,985 mm) long, 142 in (3,607 mm) wide and 155 in (3,937 mm) high. The height applies to the 28 in Z-stroke, which is the only stroke listed for this code.
04
Yes. Onsrud names a FANUC controller as the standard for the G-Series, with its own touchscreen interface as the alternative. No control model number is given on the series page.
