How much does the Quaser MV6 (#40) cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Quaser MV6 (#40) 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
At 2,040 mm (80.3") of X travel, the Quaser MV6 (#40) is the longest vertical machining center in the MV line, and in this version it carries a 40 taper spindle listed at 12K ~ 24K. Quaser names large-scale aluminum alloy for aerospace as an application, which is exactly what that combination is for: long parts, high spindle speed, a lot of chips.
The frame is wider as well as longer. Y travel is 800 mm (31.5") and the table is 2,250 x 800 mm (88.6" x 31.5"), where the MV5 (#40) stops at 700 mm (27.6") of Y. Quaser states that the 4 large linear guides of the Y-axis sit on a one piece base, and that the extra wide column is shaped to hold its geometry against the weight of the tool magazine. Z travel is 661 mm (26.0").
Chip handling gets its own paragraph in Quaser's description, and it should. A 6 piece auger system inside the machine works with an external lift up chip conveyor and coolant wash. On a table more than two metres long, aluminium swarf that is not moved out quickly ends up recut.
Table load is 2,000 kg (4,409 lbs), no higher than the shorter MV5 (#40), so the rating per unit of table length drops. The magazine holds 48 tools as standard, each up to 76.2 mm (3") in diameter, 125 mm (4.9") with the neighboring pots empty, and 300 mm (11.8") long.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,040 mm (80.3") of X travel and 800 mm (31.5") of Y on a 2,250 x 800 mm (88.6" x 31.5") table
- 40 taper spindle listed at 12K ~ 24K for high-speed aluminium work
- 6 piece auger system with external lift up chip conveyor and coolant wash
- 4 large linear guides on the Y-axis, mounted on a one piece base
- 48 tools as standard, up to 300 mm (11.8") long
Limitations
- Table load of 2,000 kg (4,409 lbs) is no more than the MV5 (#40) offers on a shorter table
- Z travel is 661 mm (26.0"), modest next to 2,040 mm (80.3") of X
- Full-magazine tool diameter is 76.2 mm (3"); the MV6 (#50) is the version for large cutters
- No power or torque figure accompanies the 12K ~ 24K speed range

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Travels are 2,040 mm (80.3") in X, 800 mm (31.5") in Y and 661 mm (26.0") in Z. The table measures 2,250 x 800 mm (88.6" x 31.5") and is rated for 2,000 kg (4,409 lbs).
02
Quaser states that the machine internals have a 6 piece auger system, combined with an external lift up chip conveyor and coolant wash. That arrangement is aimed at the large chip volumes of aluminium roughing over a long table.
03
According to Quaser, the 4 large linear guides of the Y-axis are installed on a one piece base for rigidity and stability, and the extra wide column has a shoulder designed to maintain column rigidity and geometric accuracy against the weight of the tool magazine.
04
The MV6 (#40) has a 40 taper spindle listed at 12K ~ 24K, 48 tools and a tool length limit of 300 mm (11.8"). The MV6 (#50) has a 50 taper spindle listed at 6K ~ 15K, 30 tools and takes tools up to 350 mm (13.8") long and 200 mm (7.9") in diameter with the neighboring pots empty.
