How much does the Quaser MV5 (#50) cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Quaser MV5 (#50) 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 Quaser MV5 (#50) pairs a 50 taper spindle with 1,524 mm (60.0") of X travel. It is a vertical machining center for long, heavy parts: the 1,700 x 700 mm (66.9" x 27.6") table is rated for 2,000 kg (4,409 lbs).
Is it a roughing machine or a general-purpose one? The spindle entry answers that. Quaser lists 7.5K ~ 15K for the 50 taper column, well under the 12K ~ 24K of the MV5 (#40), and the magazine is sized for big holders: 125 mm (4.9") tool diameter with all pots occupied, 200 mm (7.9") with the neighbors empty, 350 mm (13.8") tool length.
There is a cost in pocket count. The 50 taper MV5 carries 30 tools as standard, where the MV5 (#40) carries 48. A long table invites several setups at once, and 30 positions can run short when some of them must stay empty beside a large cutter. Plan the tool list before assuming every job fits in one load.
Y travel is 700 mm (27.6") and Z travel is 610 mm (24.0"). Structural steel components, machine bases, long die shoes and energy-sector parts suit the envelope. Quaser publishes no power or torque for the spindle, and for a machine bought to remove metal that is the first thing to ask for.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 50 taper spindle with 1,524 mm (60.0") of X travel
- 2,000 kg (4,409 lbs) table load on a 1,700 x 700 mm (66.9" x 27.6") table
- Accepts tools 200 mm (7.9") in diameter when the neighboring pots are empty
- Tool length up to 350 mm (13.8")
Limitations
- 30 tool positions as standard, fewer than the 48 of the MV5 (#40)
- Spindle speed listed at 7.5K ~ 15K limits small-diameter tooling
- Z travel of 610 mm (24.0") leaves little clearance once a 350 mm (13.8") tool is in the spindle
- Spindle power and torque are not stated on Quaser's page

Frequently Asked Questions
01
50 taper tools up to 125 mm (4.9") in diameter with a full magazine, up to 200 mm (7.9") in diameter when the neighboring pots are empty, and up to 350 mm (13.8") long. The standard magazine has 30 positions.
02
Both share the 1,700 x 700 mm (66.9" x 27.6") table, the travels and the 2,000 kg (4,409 lbs) load. The MV5 (#50) has a 50 taper spindle listed at 7.5K ~ 15K and 30 tools; the MV5 (#40) has a 40 taper spindle listed at 12K ~ 24K and 48 tools.
03
X travel is 1,524 mm (60.0"), Y travel is 700 mm (27.6") and Z travel is 610 mm (24.0"). The Z figure is the same as on the shorter MV4 (#50), so the extra size is all in length.
04
Yes. The MV6 (#50) has 2,040 mm (80.3") of X travel, 800 mm (31.5") of Y and a 2,250 x 800 mm (88.6" x 31.5") table. Its table load is the same 2,000 kg (4,409 lbs) as the MV5 (#50).
