2018 Brother Speedio R650X1 CNC Vertical Mill

The 2018 Brother Speedio R650X1 CNC Vertical Mill embodies the Japanese manufacturer’s commitment to speed and precision. With travels of 25.6 inches in X, 15.7 inches in Y, and 12.1 inches in Z, it pairs a powerful 15000 RPM BT-30 spindle with a 13.5-horsepower motor for exceptional cutting efficiency. The automatic pallet changer with dual tables allows continuous machining and setup in parallel, maximizing spindle uptime. Equipped with a probing system, 55 toolholders, and six double-lock vises, this Speedio delivers true production-grade agility in a compact footprint.

When compared to smaller entry-level VMCs, the R650X1 stands out with its high-speed 22-tool changer and integrated pallet system that minimizes idle time between cycles. Its BT-30 taper provides lightweight, high-speed tool engagement ideal for aluminum, steel, and precision part manufacturing. Combined with Brother’s lightning-fast control and rigid structure, this machine bridges the gap between high-volume efficiency and small-shop versatility.
