How much does the Onsrud 62S cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud 62S 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 62S is the smallest S-Series router, a 3-axis fixed-bridge machine with a nearly square table of 61 in (1,550 mm) by 60 in (1,524 mm). Its standard spindle is 18 hp (13.4 kW) at 24,000 rpm, which is a lot of motor for a table this size and says what the machine is for: dense material and deep cuts on small to medium parts.
The S-Series layout is a single table that moves lengthwise under a fixed bridge. Onsrud points out that this leaves three sides of the table open to the operator, and that the bridge spans the shorter dimension of the table, which keeps it stiff. On the 62S the result is a compact machine, 146 in (3,709 mm) long and 133 in (3,379 mm) wide, at 101 in (2,566 mm) high.
Standard Z-stroke is 11 in (279 mm), with 16 in (406 mm) and 28 in (711 mm) listed as options. Tool capacity is 12, a second tool changer can be added, and the table has 2 vacuum zones.
A 24 hp (17.9 kW) spindle is the listed upgrade, and the series allows up to 2 spindles. On a 61 in table a second spindle halves the part size each can reach, so it suits pairs of small identical parts.
