How much does the Republic Lagun Millmatic II cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Republic Lagun Millmatic II 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 Republic Lagun Millmatic II is a vertical knee mill with CNC on two axes. The table's X and Y movements are under program control, while depth is set the traditional way, with the knee and a quill that has 5 in (127 mm) of travel. Lagun's text calls it the solution for single shot work, prototypes, one-piece jobs and short production runs.
Two-axis control fits a particular kind of shop. Profiles, bolt circles, pockets at one depth and straight-line milling are programmed; drilling and depth changes are done by the operator between moves. Lagun says the Standard F-Series offers full 2-axis CNC control and that the Fanuc 0i-MF control provides menu driven conversational programming in machinist's language as well as full G-Code programming. The feature list also mentions a dual CPU controller design and a 14 in color CRT with graphics.
The machine itself is a full-size knee mill. X travel is 36 in (914 mm), Y travel 15.25 in (387 mm) and Z travel 16 in (406 mm), with 22.2 in (564 mm) of ram travel to reposition the head. The table is 55.25 x 10 in (1,403 x 254 mm) and carries 750 lb (340 kg). A 5 HP (3.7 kW) motor drives an R-8 spindle from 55 to 4,250 rpm.
On the mechanical side the maker lists hardened and ground ways on X, Y and Z, Turcite on the X and Y ways, hardened and ground ball screws of 1 ¼ in diameter on X and Y, and a hard chrome quill 3.38 in (86 mm) in diameter. Automatic lubrication and flood coolant are included.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Full 2-axis CNC control with conversational and G-Code programming on the Fanuc 0i-MF, per the maker
- 36 in (914 mm) of X travel and 22.2 in (564 mm) of ram travel
- 55-4,250 rpm spindle range from a 5 HP (3.7 kW) motor
- Hardened and ground ball screws of 1 ¼ in diameter on the X and Y axes
- Hard chrome quill 3.38 in (86 mm) in diameter with 5 in (127 mm) of travel
Limitations
- Z depth is not under CNC control; the Millmatic III adds the third axis
- R-8 spindle taper limits cutter size and how hard the 5 HP (3.7 kW) motor can be used
- Table load is 750 lb (340 kg) on a table 10 in (254 mm) wide
- No tool changer is listed, so every tool change is manual

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Two. The maker's table lists 2 CNC axes and the description says the Standard F-Series offers full 2-axis CNC control. Depth is set with the quill, which has 5 in (127 mm) of travel, and the knee, which gives 16 in (406 mm) of Z travel.
02
Lagun names the Fanuc 0i-MF control system, with menu driven conversational programming and full G-Code programming. The feature list adds a dual CPU controller design and a 14 in color CRT with graphics.
03
The table is 55.25 x 10 in (1,403 x 254 mm) with a 750 lb (340 kg) weight capacity. Travels are 36 in (914 mm) in X, 15.25 in (387 mm) in Y and 16 in (406 mm) in Z, and the ram travels 22.2 in (564 mm).
04
Only in the number of CNC axes, as far as the maker's table shows: 2 on the Millmatic II and 3 on the Millmatic III. Table size, travels, the 5 HP (3.7 kW) motor, the 55-4,250 rpm speed range and the R-8 taper are listed identically for both.
