How much does the SNK RM-5 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from SNK. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The SNK RM-5 is listed as a fixed-size 5-axis machining center with 5,000 mm (197 in) of X, 3,000 mm (118 in) of Y and 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of Z, an A axis tilting ±90° and a continuous 360° C axis. SNK's current lineup does not include this model, and the table is unconfirmed by the maker: treat it as the listed figures.
The spindle row gives 15,000 RPM with 40 kW (53.6 hp) on HSK-A63, and a 24,000 RPM option. That pairing is aimed at fast metal removal with medium-diameter cutters over a long bed, not at low-speed boring. Rapids of 30 m/min on X, Y and Z keep non-cutting time down across 5,000 mm of travel.
Load and mass are in a different class from the spindle interface. Table load is 20,000 kg (44,092 lb) and the machine itself is about 150,000 kg (330,693 lb), which makes the foundation part of the purchase. Positioning accuracy is listed as ± 0.015 mm, with no measuring length stated.
The table also holds a second group of rows that does not agree with the first: a # 50 taper, a top speed of 6,000 RPM with 8,000 RPM as an option, and travels of 108.300 in (167.320 in optional), 78.700 in and 23.600 in. Those rows read like a different machine. Until the builder's plate settles it, do not order tooling on the strength of either taper.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 5,000 mm (197 in) of X and 3,000 mm (118 in) of Y with full 5-axis motion
- 40 kW (53.6 hp) spindle at 15,000 RPM, with a 24,000 RPM option
- Rapid traverse of 30 m/min on X, Y and Z
- Table load capacity of 20,000 kg (44,092 lb)
Limitations
- A-axis tilt is ±90°, so undercut features beyond that angle cannot be reached
- Positioning accuracy is listed as ± 0.015 mm with no measuring length
- The table shows two conflicting sets of figures, including HSK-A63 against a # 50 taper and 15,000 RPM against 6,000 RPM
- A machine of about 150,000 kg (330,693 lb) needs a dedicated foundation

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The main rows list 5,000 mm (197 in) in X, 3,000 mm (118 in) in Y and 1,200 mm (47.2 in) in Z. A second group of rows on the same page gives 108.300 in (167.320 in optional), 78.700 in and 23.600 in. The two sets disagree, so the travels need confirming on the machine.
02
The spindle rows give 15,000 RPM, 40 kW (53.6 hp) and an HSK-A63 taper, with 24,000 RPM as an option. Other rows on the page show a # 50 taper and a top speed of 6,000 RPM. None of it is confirmed by the maker, so check the spindle nameplate.
03
The A axis tilts ±90° and the C axis rotates a continuous 360°. That covers five-sided machining and most contoured surfaces, but not features that need the tool tilted past 90° from vertical.
04
Machine weight is listed as about 150,000 kg (330,693 lb) and table load capacity as 20,000 kg (44,092 lb). The table gives no foundation or power data, so those must come from the installation documents.
