How much does the Onsrud 241G cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 241G 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
On the Onsrud 241G the model number undersells the table by an inch: Onsrud lists 242 in (6,147 mm) in X, with 61 in (1,550 mm) in Y. Twenty feet of table is the point where a five-foot-wide gantry router stops being a one-sheet machine. Two ten-foot sheets fit end to end, or one long panel for trailer and vehicle work.
The standard vacuum layout is 5 zones. An odd number means the table does not fall into two matching halves, so anyone planning to cut one sheet while loading another should settle the zone layout before ordering. Custom zones are among the options the maker describes.
Two Z-strokes are listed. The 11 in (279 mm) version 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. Both are 136 in (3,455 mm) wide. If the work calls for a 28 in (711 mm) stroke, the matching frame is the 217G, and its table is shorter at 217 in (5,512 mm).
Nothing about the head changes with length. The 241G has the series spindle, 18 hp (13.4 kW) and 24,000 rpm, and holds 12 tools. Long tables are where the multi-spindle upgrade earns its place, and up to 4 spindles are offered. The control is a FANUC unit as standard or Onsrud's touchscreen interface.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
242 in (6,147 mm) in X, by 61 in (1,550 mm) in Y. The model code reads 241, but the maker's table gives 242 in, and the millimetre table agrees with it. Use the table figure when planning fixtures.
02
5 as standard. Onsrud also offers custom vacuum zones, which let a buyer set the size and position of each zone and shut off parts of the table to concentrate vacuum where the work is.
03
335 in (8,509 mm) long, 136 in (3,455 mm) wide and 103 in (2,617 mm) high with the 11 in Z-stroke. With the 18 in Z-stroke the length is 331 in (8,408 mm) and the height 140 in (3,556 mm), on the same width.
04
The 240GW8 has a table of 240 in (6,096 mm) by 96 in (2,439 mm), so it is about as long but takes eight-foot-wide material. The 240GW8 frame is 172 in (4,369 mm) wide against 136 in (3,455 mm) for the 241G. Both list 5 vacuum zones.
