How much does the Sharp TMV-DVS-MP-2 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Sharp TMV-DVS-MP-2 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
DVS in the name of the Sharp TMV-DVS-MP-2 stands for the spindle drive. Sharp lists it as Digital Variable Speed, 60~4500 rpm, where the plain TMV-MP-2 is described simply as vari speed. The speed range and the motor are the same on both, so the drive is the whole difference between the two models.
In practice that affects daily use more than cutting capacity. The motor is still 3 hp (2.25 kW) and the spindle still R-8. A digital drive suits work that changes speed often, such as going from a drill to a boring head and back. Sharp's page does not describe the drive beyond its name, so ask how speed is set and displayed.
The CNC side is the two-axis package. X travel of 31 in (787 mm) and Y travel of 15.5 in (393 mm) run on precision ball screws under the MILLPWR G2 control, with safety handwheels for manual use. The quill has 5 in (127 mm) of travel and a readout, and the knee moves 15.3 in (390 mm).
Electrical figures differ from those of the TMV-MP-2: 3 kVA at 15 amps or 7.5 amps depending on supply voltage. Weight is 2,860 lb (1,300 kg). Sharp's table gives this model's table size without a matching metric width, so the 10 x 54" figure comes from the overview bullet.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Digital Variable Speed. The spindle speed row of Sharp's table reads 60~4500 rpm Digital Variable Speed, and the overview bullet describes the machine as Digital Vari Speed 3 HP, R-8 spindle.
02
No. Both list a 3 hp (2.25 kW) spindle motor and an R-8 taper. The TMV-DVS-MP-2 changes how speed is selected, and its power consumption rows read 3 kVA/15 amps and 3 kVA/7.5 amps, where the TMV-MP-2 shows 3 kVA/8 amp and 3 kVA/4 amp.
03
31 in (787 mm) longitudinal, 15.5 in (393 mm) cross, 5 in (127 mm) on the quill, 15.3 in (390 mm) on the knee and 18.5 in (470 mm) on the ram. The spindle nose is 1.6-16.9 in (40.64-430 mm) above the table top.
04
The MILLPWR G2 2 axes CNC system, 2 axes ball screws and servo drives, an auto lube system, a 3 axes digital readout system and a cross way cover are standard. An Acu-Rite electrical edge finder, a 6" Kurt vise, a drill chuck and a clamping kit are among the options.
