How much does the TRAK DPM RX5 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the TRAK DPM RX5 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
The TRAK DPM RX5 is the long-travel DPM RX bed mill: 41 in (1,041 mm) of X, 20.5 in (521 mm) of Y and 24 in (610 mm) of Z under a 40 Taper quill head, with the ProtoTRAK RMX CNC.
Y is the figure to notice. At 20.5 in (521 mm) it matches the distance TRAK gives from spindle center to column face, and it is well beyond the 12 in (305 mm) width of the 50 x 12 in (1,270 x 305 mm) table. Table load is 1,760 lbs (798 kg), against 1,320 lbs (599 kg) on the DPM RX3 and DPM RX2.
The spindle figures are those of the DPM RX3: 5 hp (3.7 kW) continuous, with ranges of 40 - 600 rpm and 300 - 5,000 rpm. TRAK lists milling capacity at 5 in³/min (82 cm³/min), drilling at 1 in (25 mm) diameter and tapping at 1 - 8. So the larger frame adds reach and load, not metal removal. The quill is 3 15/16 in (100 mm) in diameter with 5 in (127 mm) of travel, quill feeds are 0.0015/0.003/0.006 in per spindle revolution, and the head swivels +/- 90° side to side.
Rapid traverse is listed as 400 ipm (10.2 m/min) on X and Y and 250 ipm (6.3 m/min) on Z. Travels are quoted with way covers installed, and travel with limit switches is approx. 1 in less on each axis.
Give it room. The base footprint is 24 x 48.4 in (610 x 1,229 mm), but with the table the machine is 94.13 in (2,391 mm) wide and 82.5 in (2,096 mm) long with the electrical door closed, and full table traverse needs 131.06 in (3,329 mm). It weighs 4,400 lbs net (1,996 kg), 4,700 lbs shipping, and runs on 200-240V three-phase at 26.6A.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X is 41 in (1,041 mm), Y is 20.5 in (521 mm) and Z is 24 in (610 mm), with way covers installed. Travel with limit switches is approx. 1 in less on each axis. The quill has 5 in (127 mm) of travel, and the maximum spindle nose to table distance is 25.81 in (656 mm).
02
The spindle is the same class: both are 40 Taper with 5 hp (3.7 kW) continuous and a top speed of 5,000 rpm. The DPM RX5 has the larger table, 50 x 12 in (1,270 x 305 mm) against 50 x 10 in (1,270 x 254 mm) on the DPM RX3, a table load of 1,760 lbs (798 kg) against 1,320 lbs (599 kg), and weighs 4,400 lbs net (1,996 kg) against 4,100 lbs net (1,860 kg).
03
The maximum table load is 1,760 lbs (798 kg). The table itself is 50 x 12 in (1,270 x 305 mm) with three T-slots. Add the weight of vises, fixture plates and any rotary equipment to the part before judging a heavy job.
04
Allow 131.06 in (3,329 mm) of width for full table traverse and 82.5 in (2,096 mm) of length with the electrical door closed. Height is 87.5 in (2,222 mm) minimum and 102 in (2,591 mm) maximum. The electrical supply is 200-240V three-phase at 26.6A, and the machine weighs 4,400 lbs net (1,996 kg).
05
TRAK lists a drilling capacity of 1 in (25 mm) diameter and a tapping capacity of 1 - 8, with a milling capacity of 5 in³/min (82 cm³/min). The spindle runs 40 - 600 rpm in low range and 300 - 5,000 rpm in high range.
