The Doosan DMP 500 is a high-productivity CNC vertical machining center designed specifically for high-volume production environments. It is best known in its dual-spindle configuration (DMP 500/2SP), which allows simultaneous machining of two parts, effectively doubling output compared to traditional single-spindle machines. This makes it an ideal solution for manufacturers focused on cycle time reduction and maximum throughput.
The machine features a rigid cast iron structure, high-speed direct-drive spindles, and dual automatic tool changers, ensuring both stability and efficiency during continuous operation. Each spindle operates independently, allowing flexible machining strategies and reduced idle time. Additionally, the machine includes a W-axis adjustment on one spindle, enabling quick compensation for fixture height variations and simplifying setup processes.
With a compact footprint relative to its output capacity, the DMP 500 is designed to deliver the productivity of two machines in the space of one. It is widely used in industries such as automotive, electronics, and general engineering for machining medium-sized precision components where repeatability and speed are critical.

WHY BUY USED DOOSAN DMP 500
Buying a used Doosan DMP 500 is a strong investment for manufacturers looking to significantly increase production capacity without doubling floor space or capital cost.
The biggest advantage of this machine is its dual-spindle design, which allows two parts to be machined at the same time. This drastically reduces cycle times and increases throughput, making it ideal for high-volume production runs. Compared to standard VMCs, it can deliver nearly double the output with similar labor requirements.
Another major benefit is its high-speed machining capability. With spindle speeds up to 12,000 RPM and fast tool-to-tool change times (around 1.7 seconds), the DMP 500 minimizes idle time and keeps tools engaged in cutting for longer periods.
Additionally, the machine’s compact design allows shops to maximize floor space efficiency. Many used units also come equipped with upgraded tool capacities, through-spindle coolant, and automation-ready features, making them suitable for modern production environments.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED DOOSAN DMP 500COST?
The cost of a used Doosan DMP 500 varies based on configuration (single vs dual spindle), condition, age, and included options.
Typically, used DMP 500 machines range between $45,000 and $120,000. Older models or basic configurations fall on the lower end, while newer dual-spindle versions (DMP 500/2SP) with higher tool capacity, probing systems, and advanced controls can reach $100,000+.
Machines equipped with features such as dual ATCs, high-pressure coolant systems, and automation integration tend to command higher prices due to their increased productivity and reduced cycle times.
Overall, the DMP 500 offers excellent value in the used market, especially for shops focused on high-volume, repeat production.
