How much does the Starrag STC 1000 MT cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Starrag. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Starrag STC 1000 MT is a horizontal-spindle mill-turn machining center on a 1,000 mm (39.4 in) pallet, listed with 5/6 axes. It is the smaller of two closely related machines: the STC 1250 carries a 1,250 mm (49.2 in) pallet and is listed with the same headline spindle figures, 18,000 RPM and 120 kW (161 HP).
Turning on the pallet is what this model adds. Round features on a prismatic part can be turned in the same setup as the milled faces, which removes a transfer to a lathe and the alignment error that comes with it. Two head designs are listed: a 1D nodding head, or a 2D A/C fork head. The choice decides how the tool is tilted towards the part, so it should be settled against the actual part family before ordering.
Starrag gives a titanium removal rate of more than 800 cm³/min, with coolant pressure of up to 150 bar to clear chips from deep pockets at that rate. Spindle tapers are HSK-A100 / HSK-A63. The table states 18,000 RPM and 120 kW (161 HP) without saying which taper each figure belongs to. A spindle used for titanium roughing and one that reaches 18,000 RPM are normally different units, so ask for the speed, power and torque of the exact spindle quoted. Magazine sizes run from 60 to 510 tools. Starrag's page lists neither travels nor a pallet load for this model.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Mill-turn capability with 5/6 axes, so turned and milled features share one setup
- Titanium removal rate of more than 800 cm³/min
- Coolant pressure of up to 150 bar
- Choice of a 1D nodding head or a 2D A/C fork head
- Tool magazines from 60 to 510 tools
Limitations
- Starrag's page lists no travels or pallet load for this model
- The 18,000 RPM and 120 kW (161 HP) figures are not tied to either the HSK-A100 or the HSK-A63 spindle
- The pallet is 1,000 mm (39.4 in); larger parts need the 1,250 mm (49.2 in) pallet of the STC 1250
- ISO 50 is listed as a taper option on the STC 1250 but not on this model

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yes. Starrag lists the machine with 5/6 axes as a mill-turn, on a 1,000 mm (39.4 in) pallet with a horizontal spindle. Turned and milled features can be machined in one setup.
02
Two head configurations are listed: a 1D nodding head, or a 2D A/C fork head. Starrag's page does not give swivel ranges for either, so request them along with the spindle data for the head you are quoted.
03
Pallet size is the main difference in the listed figures: 1,000 mm (39.4 in) here against 1,250 mm (49.2 in) on the STC 1250. The STC 1250 also lists ISO 50 as a third taper beside HSK-A100 and HSK-A63. Both are listed with 18,000 RPM, 120 kW (161 HP) and 60 to 510 tools.
04
Tapers are HSK-A100 / HSK-A63, with a listed maximum of 18,000 RPM and 120 kW (161 HP). The table does not say which taper those two figures belong to, and gives no torque, so the data of the specific spindle has to be requested.
