2001 Mazak SQT 250M CNC Turning Center Lathe

The 2001 Mazak SQT-250M is a ten-inch-chuck CNC turning centre built for medium-diameter shafts and flanges that lesser lathes leave on the saw. Swing over bed reaches 20.67 inch, maximum cutting diameter tops 11.81 inch and turning length stretches 19.69 inch. A 4000 RPM A2-8 spindle funnels 30 HP through a 2.99-inch bore, swallowing 2.52-inch bar with ease, while a twelve-station drum turret powers live tooling to 4500 RPM so drilling, tapping and milling finish in the same chucking. Mazatrol PC-Fusion 640T conversational control speeds setup, and rapids of 1200 IPM in X and 1300 IPM in Z slash non-cut time. Distance between centers of 23.62 inch plus tailstock support long shafts, and through-coolant tooling stays chip-free thanks to flood system, chip conveyor and mist collector working in concert.

Compare that to the Quick Turn SQT-200M, which carries an eight-inch chuck, 2.0-inch bar, 25 HP spindle and 22.64 inch Z stroke. The SQT-250M ups bar capacity to 2.52 inch, boosts continuous power to 30 HP and expands swing to 20.67 inch, giving operators extra torque and envelope without a larger footprint—proof the 250M is the production-grade sibling while the 200M remains the compact option for smaller billets.
