How much does the Sharp LMV-49-DVS-MP-3 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Sharp LMV-49-DVS-MP-3 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
Every feature Sharp offers on its light knee mill frame is present on the LMV-49-DVS-MP-3: the 49 in table, the Digital Vari speed head and three axes of CNC. It is the fully equipped LMV, and still a 2700 lb (1225 kg) machine.
Start with the table, 9 x 49 in (228.6 x 1245 mm). It travels 31 in (787 mm) in X, the same stroke as the heavier TMV-DVS-MP-3, so the two machines take parts of equal length. They part company in Y, where this one has 11 in (279 mm) and the TMV-DVS-MP-3 has 15.5 in (393 mm), and in mass: the TMV-DVS-MP-3 is listed at 3500 lb (1587 kg).
That comparison is the buying decision. If the parts are narrow and the cuts are light, the LMV does the same job on less floor, 7 x 6.5 x 7 ft (2.20 x 1.98 x 2.20 m). If they are wide, or in steel with larger cutters, the TMV frame is the safer choice.
Under program control the Z axis moves 5 in (127 mm). The knee provides a further 16 in (406.4 mm) for setup, leaving 2.12-18 in (53.84 - 457 mm) between spindle nose and table. Spindle data: R-8, 3 hp (2.25 kW), 60 - 4,500 rpm. Power demand is 3 kVA, at 15 amps or 7.5 amps by supply voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X travel is 31 in (787 mm) and Z travel 5 in (127 mm) on both. The TMV-DVS-MP-3 has 15.5 in (393 mm) of Y travel and weighs 3500 lb (1587 kg); the LMV-49-DVS-MP-3 has 11 in (279 mm) of Y travel and weighs 2700 lb (1225 kg). Both have a 3 hp (2.25 kW) R-8 spindle.
02
9 x 49 in (228.6 x 1245 mm). Sharp's overview bullet summarises the machine as a 9 x 49" table with 11 x 31 x 5" travel and Digital Vari speed.
03
The power consumption rows read 3 kVA/15 amps and 3 kVA/7.5 amps for the two supply voltages Sharp lists. The spindle motor is 3 hp (2.25 kW). A coolant system with chip pan at the base is an optional accessory and is not included in those figures.
04
All three. The standard accessory list names 3-axis ball screws and servo drives with the Millpwr G2 3-axis CNC system, plus an auto lube system, a 3-axis digital readout system and a cross way cover.
