How much does the Onsrud 240GW8 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 240GW8 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
Five four-by-eight sheets, loaded crosswise, cover the table of the Onsrud 240GW8 exactly. It measures 240 in (6,096 mm) in X and 96 in (2,439 mm) in Y, and Onsrud lists 5 vacuum zones as standard, which works out to one zone per sheet in that arrangement.
This is the mid-length model of the eight-foot-wide G-Series. It can also take two eight-by-ten panels end to end, which is the more likely load in plastics, composites and aluminum plate. In both cases the 3-axis gantry moves along the twenty-foot length and the spindle travels across the eight-foot bridge.
The frame is 172 in (4,369 mm) wide. With the 11 in (279 mm) Z-stroke it is 335 in (8,509 mm) long and 103 in (2,617 mm) high. The 18 in (457 mm) version is 331 in (8,408 mm) long and 140 in (3,556 mm) high. Those lengths are the same as the five-foot-wide 241G, so stepping up to the wide table costs width only: 172 in (4,369 mm) against 136 in (3,455 mm).
A single 18 hp (13.4 kW) spindle with 12 tools is standard, running to 24,000 rpm. Five sheets on the table and one spindle is a slow combination. Up to 4 spindles can be fitted, and Onsrud notes that for larger parts one spindle can be parked to give another the entire table.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table is 240 in (6,096 mm) by 96 in (2,439 mm). Five four-by-eight sheets fit when laid across the table, or two eight-by-ten panels end to end. The standard 5 vacuum zones match the five-sheet arrangement.
02
Only in width. The 240GW10 has 120 in (3,048 mm) of table Y and a 200 in (5,080 mm) frame, against 96 in (2,439 mm) and 172 in (4,369 mm) here. Table X, machine length, height and the 5 standard vacuum zones are the same on both.
03
With 11 in of Z: 335 in (8,509 mm) long and 103 in (2,617 mm) high. With 18 in of Z: 331 in (8,408 mm) long and 140 in (3,556 mm) high. The machine is 172 in (4,369 mm) wide in both versions.
04
Not under this code. For the 28 in and 40 in strokes Onsrud's table lists the 216GW8, which keeps the 96 in (2,439 mm) width but has a shorter table X of 216 in (5,487 mm) and stands 167 in (4,242 mm) high.
