How much does the Shoda NC-321 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc router in this class — not a quote from Shoda. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Shoda NC-321 is a CNC router with travels of 3,100 mm (122 in) in X, 2,100 mm (82.7 in) in Y and 300 mm (11.8 in) in Z, an 11 kW (15 HP) spindle and a 12-position automatic tool changer. It is not in Shoda's current lineup, so the listed figures are a reference for a used machine and should be confirmed on it.
The travels describe a wide table. With 2,100 mm (82.7 in) of Y there is room to lay wide sheets, or two rows of parts side by side, on the vacuum zone hold-down table. Rapid traverse is listed as 60 m/min. A machine weight of 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) says this is a heavily built router and not a light gantry, and the floor has to carry it.
The spindle is 11 kW (15 HP) as standard with a speed range of 1,000-24,000 RPM. A 1,000 RPM bottom end is low for a router, and useful for large-diameter cutters and for materials that want a low surface speed. Twelve tool positions cover a typical routing, drilling and trimming sequence. Longer tool lists mean reloading the changer between jobs.
5-axis aggregate attachments are listed as optional, so assume a three-axis machine unless the attachments are present. Shoda AutoNesting and CAM software is listed. Electrical supply is 200/220/400 VAC 3-phase at 50/60 Hz, and the voltage a given machine is wired for has to match the building.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Travels of 3,100 mm (122 in) by 2,100 mm (82.7 in), with 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z
- 11 kW (15 HP) spindle as standard, with a 1,000-24,000 RPM range
- 12-position automatic tool changer
- Listed rapid traverse of 60 m/min
- Vacuum zone hold-down table, with Shoda AutoNesting and CAM software listed
Limitations
- 5-axis aggregate attachments are optional, not part of the base machine
- A 12-position changer limits jobs that need many cutters
- At 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) it needs a floor and rigging to suit
- Not in Shoda's current lineup; the listed figures give no positioning accuracy or tool size limits

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give 3,100 mm (122 in) in X, 2,100 mm (82.7 in) in Y and 300 mm (11.8 in) in Z. The table is a vacuum zone hold-down type, and rapid traverse is listed as 60 m/min.
02
Not in its base form. The listed figures show 5-axis aggregate attachments as optional, so a machine without them works in X, Y and Z only. If angled work is the reason for buying, confirm that the attachments come with the machine.
03
An 11 kW (15 HP) spindle is listed as standard, with a speed range of 1,000-24,000 RPM. The automatic tool changer has 12 positions. The listed figures do not give the tool holder type or the maximum tool diameter.
04
The machine weighs 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) and the electrical row lists 200/220/400 VAC 3-phase at 50/60 Hz. Check which voltage the machine is set up for. The vacuum table also needs its pump, which the listed figures do not describe.
