How much does the Starrag STC 1250 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 1250 is a horizontal 5-axis machining center for large parts, with a 1,250 mm (49.2 in) pallet, 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of Y travel and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z. Starrag's page gives no X travel. A sixth axis with turning is listed as an option.
Three spindle tapers are listed: HSK-A100, HSK-A63 and ISO 50. The table gives one speed and one power figure for all three, 18,000 RPM and 120 kW (161 HP), and does not say which taper each belongs to. In general an HSK-A63 spindle is the high-speed choice for light alloys, while HSK-A100 and ISO 50 hold the larger cutters that run slowly in titanium, where Starrag quotes a removal rate above 800 cm³/min. Which spindle is quoted therefore decides what the machine is good at, and its speed, power and torque should be on the quotation.
Head design is the second decision: a 1D nodding head or a 2D A/C fork head. Coolant is delivered at up to 150 bar, and tool magazines run from 60 to 510 tools. Next to the STC 1000 MT, which has a 1,000 mm (39.4 in) pallet and lists HSK-A100 / HSK-A63 tapers only, the STC 1250 offers the larger pallet and the ISO 50 option.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,250 mm (49.2 in) pallet with 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of Y travel and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z
- Three spindle tapers listed: HSK-A100, HSK-A63 and ISO 50
- Titanium removal rate above 800 cm³/min, with coolant at up to 150 bar
- Up to 18,000 RPM and 120 kW (161 HP) listed for the spindle range
- Tool magazines from 60 to 510 tools
Limitations
- No X travel or pallet load is listed on Starrag's page
- Turning needs the optional sixth axis; the base machine is 5-axis
- Speed and power are not broken down by taper, so the figures for the spindle actually quoted must be requested

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The pallet is 1,250 mm (49.2 in). Y travel is 1,250 mm (49.2 in) and Z travel is 1,000 mm (39.4 in). Starrag's page does not state the X travel or the pallet load, so both need to be confirmed.
02
HSK-A100, HSK-A63 and ISO 50. The listed maximum speed is 18,000 RPM and the listed power 120 kW (161 HP), but the table does not attach either figure to a particular taper.
03
Turning is an option. Starrag lists the machine as 5-axis, with a 6-axis version with turning available. A buyer who needs turned features should make sure that option is on the quotation.
04
The STC 1250 has the larger pallet, 1,250 mm (49.2 in) against 1,000 mm (39.4 in) on the STC 1000 MT, and adds ISO 50 to the HSK-A100 / HSK-A63 tapers listed for the STC 1000 MT. Both are listed with 18,000 RPM, 120 kW (161 HP) and magazines of 60 to 510 tools.
