How much does the Onsrud 216GW8 5-Axis cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 216GW8 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
The Onsrud 216GW8 5-Axis has an eighteen-by-eight-foot table, 216 in (5,487 mm) by 96 in (2,439 mm), and a 28 in (711 mm) Z-stroke. It is the mid-length member of the eight-foot-wide deep-stroke group.
Eighteen feet covers the hull plug of a skiff or a small powerboat in one piece, a full bodyside pattern for a van, or a pair of aircraft cowling tools. The eight-foot width covers the beam of such shapes with room for the head beside them. That pairing of length and width is the reason this size exists between the ten-foot 120GW8 5-Axis and the much larger ten- and twelve-foot-wide machines.
Onsrud gives the frame as 323 in (8,205 mm) long, 172 in (4,369 mm) wide and 155 in (3,937 mm) high. Five vacuum zones are standard.
Large plugs are usually built up from foam over a frame and then carved. Onsrud lists foam among the materials for the series, and the 24,000 rpm spindle with its 18 hp (13.4 kW) rating is well matched to it. Foam dust is the practical problem. The maker mentions a floating duct dust collection system for the series, and on a machine with this much travel it is worth having. For 40 in of stroke Onsrud lists the 192GW8 5-Axis, with a shorter table.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table is 216 in (5,487 mm) by 96 in (2,439 mm) and the Z-stroke is 28 in (711 mm). The plug has to be smaller than the table so the head can work around it, and its height has to leave room for the tool. Onsrud's table lists no axis travels.
02
323 in (8,205 mm) long, 172 in (4,369 mm) wide and 155 in (3,937 mm) high. The table has 5 vacuum zones as standard.
03
