Overview
The DN Solutions Puma GT2600 (formerly Doosan Puma GT2600) is a mid-range horizontal CNC turning center that has built a strong reputation as one of the best value propositions in the 10-inch chuck segment. Manufactured at DN Solutions' Changwon, South Korea facility and distributed in North America through DN Solutions USA (formerly Doosan Machine Tools America), the GT2600 delivers roughly 80-85% of the capability of comparable Mazak and Okuma machines at 65-75% of the price.
The main spindle delivers 22 kW (30 hp) at 3,500 RPM through an A2-8 spindle nose with 80 mm (3.15 in) bar capacity. The spindle uses a gear-driven 2-speed gearbox for high torque at low RPM during heavy roughing and higher speed for finishing. Maximum turning diameter is 400 mm (15.75 in) with machining length up to 610 mm (24.02 in). Swing over the bed is 680 mm (26.77 in).
The 12-station turret with BMT live tooling runs at 5,000 RPM with 5.5 kW (7.4 hp). MY variants add Y-axis travel of 105 mm (+52.5/-52.5 mm) for off-center drilling and milling. An optional sub spindle running 4,500 RPM with 15 kW (20 hp) handles back-working operations. Axis travels span 260 mm (X) and 660 mm (Z) with rapids at 30 m/min on both axes.
The machine runs on a Fanuc 0i-TF+ control, the industry standard that makes operator training and CAM post processor setup straightforward. The one-piece cast iron bed with hardened and ground box ways provides excellent vibration damping for heavy cuts. At approximately 5,200 kg (11,464 lb), the GT2600 requires standard foundation work.
New machines price between $80,000 and $165,000 depending on configuration, making the GT2600 one of the most competitive options in the segment. Used units from 2014-2020 trade between $35,000 and $85,000. Direct competitors include the Mazak Quick Turn 250, Haas ST-25Y, and Okuma LB3000 EX II.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Best-in-class value: delivers 80-85% of Japanese brand capability at 65-75% of the price, making it the go-to for budget-conscious shops that won't compromise on quality
- Box-way construction provides superior vibration damping for heavy roughing and interrupted cuts compared to linear-guideway competitors in this price range
- Fanuc 0i-TF+ control is the industry standard, making operator training straightforward and CAM post processors widely available and inexpensive
- 80 mm bar capacity handles 3-inch bar stock, bridging the gap between typical 65 mm machines and larger 102 mm platforms
- 2-speed gearbox spindle delivers high torque at low RPM for heavy roughing and shifts to higher speed for finishing, providing versatility across material types
- Strong North American dealer network through DN Solutions USA with technical centers in major manufacturing regions
Limitations
- 3,500 RPM main spindle speed is lower than the Mazak QT-250's 4,000 RPM, limiting high-speed turning on smaller-diameter aluminum and non-ferrous work
- Brand perception: despite excellent build quality, some shops still view DN Solutions (formerly Doosan) as a tier below Japanese brands like Mazak and Okuma
- 5,000 RPM live tools are adequate but not class-leading; some competitors offer 6,000-8,000 RPM driven tools for faster drilling and milling
- Resale value tends to be lower than comparable Mazak or Okuma machines, which matters for shops that regularly trade equipment
- Documentation and technical resources are less comprehensive than Mazak or Okuma, and online community support is smaller

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Base 2-axis configurations start around $80,000-$95,000. Adding Y-axis (MY variant), live tooling, sub spindle, and high-pressure coolant pushes the price to $130,000-$165,000. Used GT2600 machines from 2014-2020 trade between $35,000 and $85,000. The Doosan-branded older models sell at the same prices as DN Solutions-branded newer ones.
02
Yes. Doosan Machine Tools was rebranded to DN Solutions in 2022 after being acquired by a consortium led by MBK Partners. The machines, factories, and engineering teams are the same. The Puma GT2600 sold under both the Doosan and DN Solutions brand names is identical. Parts and service are fully compatible across the brand transition.
03
The Haas ST-25Y is comparably priced with similar specs. The GT2600 counters with box-way construction (Haas uses linear guides), a gear-driven spindle for more torque, and BMT tooling. The Haas wins on service network size and parts availability. Both use Fanuc-based controls. The GT2600 typically holds up better in heavy roughing applications due to the box ways.
04
The GT2600 has a standard bar feeder interface compatible with LNS, Iemca, FMB, and Edge Technologies bar feeders. The 80 mm bar capacity accommodates most 3-inch bar feeder systems. LNS Quick Load Servo 80 and Iemca Boss 542-HD are popular choices for production environments.
