How much does the Onsrud F144Q cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Onsrud F144Q 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 F144Q is the one model of the Q-Series, a fully enclosed 5-axis machine for high-speed trimming. Its table is 144 in (3,657 mm) by 60 in (1,524 mm), the Z-stroke is 40 in (1,016 mm), and the spindle is 18 hp (13.4 kW) at 24,000 rpm.
Trimming is light cutting at high speed along complicated paths, and the specification follows from that. The spindle is modest, the Z is tall, and the enclosure is there to keep carbon and fiberglass dust away from the operator. Onsrud adds a practical detail: the side panels are removable to take oversized parts.
Materials named for the series are composites, thermoformed plastic, foam board, wood, aluminum, carbon fiber and fiberglass. Moulds and prototypes are mentioned as well, for which the 33 hp (24.6 kW) spindle upgrade is the sensible choice.
The machine is 257 in (6,528 mm) long, 142 in (3,607 mm) wide and 178 in (4,521 mm) high. It has 2 vacuum zones and 12 tools. Two tooling upgrades are listed: a second tool changer and a ride-along rack with 6-8 positions, which keeps frequently used tools close to the head and shortens changes on a long table.

02
Yes. The full enclosure contains debris and isolates the operator from the machining zone and airborne particles. Onsrud notes that the side panels are removable to accommodate oversized parts.
03
An upgrade listed with 6-8 positions. Onsrud's page gives only the name and the position count; it is offered alongside the standard 12-tool capacity and an optional second tool changer.
04
257 in (6,528 mm) long, 142 in (3,607 mm) wide and 178 in (4,521 mm) high. Allow extra clearance at the sides if the removable panels will be used for oversized parts.
