How much does the Pinnacle BX700T cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Pinnacle BX700T 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 Pinnacle BX700T adds turning to the BX700DD. Its embedded Ø640 mm (Ø25.2 in) table is listed at 50(M) / 1,200(T) rpm, milling and turning, and the spindle takes HSK63T tooling so that a turning tool can be locked in the milling spindle.
For a part that is mostly round but carries milled features, this removes a transfer between a lathe and a machining center. The table load reflects the two modes: 800(M) / 500(T) kg. So a turned part may weigh up to 500 kg, and anything heavier is milled only.
The spindle is the strongest in the BX700 group, 19 / 23 kW (25.5 / 30.8 hp) and 93 / 239 Nm (68.6 / 176.3 lb-ft), with a draw bar force of 1,800 ± 100 kgf, twice that of the milling-only versions. Maximum speed is 15,000 rpm.
The B-axis head is direct drive at 50 rpm with a ± 120° range, which lets a turning tool be set at an angle to the work. Linear travels are 1,400 mm (55.1 in) in X and 710 mm (28.0 in) in Y, with Z given as Vertical Milling 680 / Horizontal Milling 780 mm. Tool capacity is 30(40/60). The machine weighs 12,000 kg (26,455 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yes. The rotary table rotation speed is listed as 50(M) / 1,200(T) rpm, the second figure being the turning speed, and the spindle taper is HSK63T. Maximum table load is 800(M) / 500(T) kg.
02
19 / 23 kW (25.5 / 30.8 hp) with 93 / 239 Nm (68.6 / 176.3 lb-ft) of torque, continuous and maximum. Maximum speed is 15,000 rpm and the draw bar force 1,800 ± 100 kgf.
03
Both have direct-drive B and C axes. The BX700T has the turning-capable table, an HSK63T spindle and a larger motor; the BX700DD has a DIN40 (HSKA63) spindle with 15 / 19.4 kW (20.1 / 26.0 hp) and a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) table load.
04
1,400 mm (55.1 in) in X and 710 mm (28.0 in) in Y, with Z listed as Vertical Milling 680 / Horizontal Milling 780 mm. The spindle centre is 780 mm (30.7 in) from the column.
