CNC cutting and CNC side hole drilling describe different jobs in panel production. The OMAC CH6 is listed as a CNC cutting machine, while the CS-550 is listed for side hole drilling. Their roles should be evaluated against your actual drawing and production sequence, rather than their shared use of CNC control.
Understand the CH6 panel processing range
The CH6 page lists a processing range of 1300 × 2500 × 200 mm and a maximum processing size of 2440 × 1220 × 50 mm. It describes a partition adsorption table, servo system, X/Y rack transmission and Z screw transmission.
Other listed details include:
- Spindle power: 6 kW × 2 + 2.2 kW.
- Spindle speeds: 18000 / 24000 r/min.
- Maximum processing speed: 25 m/min.
- Fast moving speed: 80 m/min.
- Vertical row drill: H9 nine vertical drills.
- Processing precision: ±0.1 mm.
These values identify the catalog configuration. Confirm the actual tooling, control workflow and operations for your panel design with OMAC.
Understand the CS-550 side hole drilling role
The CS-550 page lists a working stroke of 1300 × 2500, a high-strength PVC table, servo motor, G-code instructions and a PLC controlling system.
Its catalog specifies a spindle speed of 18000 rpm and processing precision of ±0.05/300 mm. The maximum empty line speed and drilling speed are each listed as 80000 mm/min. Actual processing conditions need confirmation for your material and drilling pattern.

Compare operations, not just precision numbers
The catalog precision expressions use different formats. Comparing ±0.1 mm and ±0.05/300 mm as if they were results from one common test would be misleading.
Instead, describe the required holes, reference edges, material thickness and tolerance on the finished component. Ask OMAC how the chosen machine and setup address those requirements.
Map both machines into your workflow
A panel may require cutting, surface or vertical operations, side holes and edge finishing at different stages. Define which tasks the existing workshop already performs and where a new machine fits. Whether you need one machine or separate equipment depends on that task list.
For an inquiry, include panel drawings, material, part dimensions, hole patterns and intended software workflow. Explore CNC cutting equipment, explore side hole drills or contact OMAC.
Common questions
Are CH6 and CS-550 interchangeable machines?+
They are listed for different processing roles. CH6 is a CNC cutting machine with a panel processing table and vertical drills. CS-550 is a CNC side hole drilling machine. Select equipment for the specific operations your panel needs.
What precision does OMAC list for these models?+
The CH6 page lists ±0.1 mm processing precision. The CS-550 page lists ±0.05/300 mm. These are different catalog expressions and should not be treated as a directly comparable performance test.
