MACHINES / CLAYMILL
TARUS Claymill X
Four decades on from the first 5-axis portable Claymill in 1984, Claymill X is built for true multi-purpose milling of clay, foam, and urethane- with the outrun bulkier gantry mills.

Machine Specification
- Increased acceleration and elimination of backlash on the X, Y and Z axes, via rack-and-pinion drive with dual servo motors.
- Extremely quiet operation compared to ball-screw driven machines.
- Nearly silent, liquid-cooled spindle.
- Advanced monocoque aluminum-alloy column and milling arm for stability and rigidity at reduced weight.
- TARUS fork-style milling head with direct-absolute angular position for perfectly blended adjacent surface patches.
- The fixed-rail version of the Claymill X.
- Ideal for in-studio or milling-room multi-purpose duty, with superior access to model details below the beltline from its horizontal arm.
- Full-featured, no compromises, highest performance.
- More powerful milling head and spindle — over 50% larger than the standard Claymill.
- 3- and 5-axis CNC milling and measuring of design models.
- Modular rails, standard section length 118″ / 3,000 mm — custom lengths available.
- Multiple columns can be added to a rail installation as needed.
- Works in clay, foam, and urethane / UREOL.
- Available with the optional TARUS Claymill Wireless Controller.
- The mobile version of the Claymill X.
- Ideal for in-studio multi-purpose duty, with superior access to model details below the beltline from its horizontal arm.
- Full-featured, no compromises, highest performance.
- Unlimited directional movement for precise positioning at the edge of the floor plate, via air cushions.
- Retractable wheels and a hitch point let it be towed with a motorized pallet jack.
- Precise placement on uneven floors from an electronically controlled, TARUS-proprietary automated leveling system.
- Works best with integrated TARUS floor plates; existing floor plates can be used with minor modification.
- Works in clay, foam, and urethane / UREOL.
- Available with the optional TARUS Claymill Wireless Controller.
- Optimal where a low ceiling rules out a gantry.
- Versatile mounting — on-rail or mobile.
- With or without surface plates.
- Low-profile rails mount above the floor or in shallow trenches and carry all running hardware plus AC power.
- Available with floor-mounted worktables, lift table, or an absolute-position rotary table.
- Modular rails, standard section length 118″ / 3,000 mm — custom lengths available.
- Multiple columns can be added to a rail installation as needed.
- Claymill X and Claymill XM both run the Siemens SINUMERIK ONE–based TARUS Design Studio Interface and TPI CAM.
- Interface developed continually with design studios and renowned by car modelers worldwide.
- Wireless probing for model alignment and measurement.
More power, same footprint gantries can't match.
In 1984, TARUS unveiled the 5-axis portable Claymill, the world’s first Claymill. The new TARUS Claymill X represents decades of innovation built on the roots of the original.
Ideal for a true multi-purpose role for milling car models, Claymill X delivers an unparalleled combination of 5-axis milling of clay, foam, and urethane.
Claymill X easily installs where bulkier gantry mills will not, while offering superior performance.
With a highly robust column and arm, Claymill X handles more power and stronger components that rapidly create Class-A surface finishes. You’ll have higher productivity and complete more car models in the same time.
Our unique monocoque design with advanced aluminum alloy reduces weight while maximizing stability, rigidity and acceleration for the best surface finish.
Better engineering design translates into durability and lower cost of ownership that TARUS Claymills are legendary for.
Claymill X comes equipped with the industry standard Siemens SINUMERIK ONE-based TARUS Design Studio Interface and TPI CAM.
Our proprietary TARUS Design Studio Interface and TPI CAM interface is continually developed in partnership with design studios and renowned by car modellers worldwide.
With a full range of solutions and accessories, TARUS can engineer solutions to fit seamlessly into the most demanding studio environment.
