The Mazak FJV 5 Face-35/60 is a compact double-column (gantry-style) vertical machining center designed for high-precision, multi-surface machining of medium-sized components. As part of Mazak’s FJV 5 Face series, it is engineered to perform 5-sided machining using an automatic angle head, allowing multiple faces of a workpiece to be machined in a single setup, significantly reducing repositioning time and improving overall efficiency.
This model features a BT50 spindle with a standard speed of 10,000 RPM, providing a strong balance between torque and cutting performance for materials such as steel, aluminum, and cast iron. The machine offers X/Y/Z travels of approximately 1,500 × 800 × 660 mm and a table size of around 1,740 × 750 mm, making it suitable for plates, structural components, and medium-length parts.
A key feature is its rigid double-column construction, which enhances stability and maintains accuracy during heavy cutting operations over long periods. The integrated angle head enables efficient machining of four side faces without manual repositioning. Equipped with Mazak’s MAZATROL CNC control, the machine simplifies programming for complex parts and improves workflow efficiency. Overall, the FJV 5 Face-35/60 is designed to deliver high accuracy, reduced cycle times, and flexible machining capability in a compact gantry platform.

WHY BUY USED MAZAK FJV 5 FACE-35/60
Buying a used Mazak FJV 5 Face-35/60 is an effective way to access 5-face machining capability in a compact double-column machine without the high cost of a new system. These machines are built with rigid structures and high-quality components, allowing them to maintain accuracy and performance even after extended use when properly maintained.
One of the primary advantages is process efficiency. The ability to machine multiple faces in a single setup reduces handling time, improves dimensional accuracy, and increases productivity. Even older machines retain this capability, making them highly valuable in production environments where setup reduction is critical.
From an investment standpoint, used machines typically cost 40–70% less than new models while still delivering strong performance. Machines with moderate cutting hours (8,000–18,000 hours) often provide the best balance between price and remaining life.
Cutting time is especially important for this model, as it is commonly used for continuous production. Machines with high cutting hours (20,000+)—particularly those used in steel machining—may require spindle or guideway refurbishment. However, a well-maintained machine with lower hours can still perform close to new. For shops needing efficient 5-face machining in a smaller footprint, a used FJV 5 Face-35/60 offers excellent value and long-term reliability.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED MAZAK FJV 5 FACE-35/60COST?
The cost of a used Mazak FJV 5 Face-35/60 varies based on age, condition, configuration, and especially cutting hours. As one of the more compact machines in the FJV 5 Face lineup, it is generally more affordable than larger double-column models while still offering advanced machining capability.
Machines manufactured before 2000 or early equivalent models typically range from $18,000 to $45,000. These machines often have high cutting hours (20,000–35,000+) and may require refurbishment, particularly in the spindle and axis systems.
Models from 2000–2010 generally fall within the $45,000 to $100,000 range. This category offers strong value, especially for machines with 10,000–20,000 cutting hours and consistent maintenance history. Machines equipped with angle heads, higher tool capacity, or upgraded controls tend to be priced toward the higher end.
Newer machines from 2010–2025 typically range from $100,000 to $220,000+, depending on features, usage, and condition. Low-hour machines (under 10,000 cutting hours), especially those used in lighter materials like aluminum, can command premium prices.
Ultimately, cutting time is more critical than age. A heavily used newer machine may be less valuable than an older, well-maintained unit, making inspection, spindle condition, and service history essential factors in determining true market value.
