The Mazak FJV 5 Face-100/120 is a large double-column (gantry-style) vertical machining center designed for heavy-duty, high-precision machining of large components. Built within Mazak’s FJV 5 Face series, the machine is engineered to perform full five-sided machining in a single setup using an automatic angle head, significantly reducing repositioning time and improving overall productivity.
This model features a CAT 50 spindle with a standard speed of 10,000 RPM, delivering both high torque and stability for machining steel, cast iron, and large structural components. The machine offers a large working envelope, with travels of approximately 3,200 mm (X), 2,450 mm (Y), and 660 mm (Z), along with a table size around 3,000 × 2,000 mm, making it suitable for large molds, dies, and aerospace or energy components.
A key feature is its rigid double-column construction, which minimizes vibration and ensures long-term accuracy, especially during heavy cutting operations. The machine is equipped with Mazak’s MAZATROL Smooth control, enabling easier programming for complex multi-surface machining. With integrated angle head tooling and large tool magazine capacity, the FJV 5 Face-100/120 is designed for high-efficiency machining of large, complex workpieces in a single setup.

WHY BUY USED MAZAK FJV 5 FACE-100/120
Purchasing a used Mazak FJV 5 Face-100/120 is a strong investment for manufacturers needing large-part machining capability without the significant cost of a new gantry machine. These machines are built with extremely rigid double-column structures, meaning they maintain accuracy and cutting performance even after years of operation, especially when properly maintained.
One of the main advantages is process integration. The 5-face machining capability allows multiple surfaces of a large workpiece to be machined in one setup, reducing handling time, improving accuracy, and lowering labor costs. Even older machines retain this advantage, making them highly productive compared to standard 3-axis or smaller VMCs.
From a cost-performance standpoint, used units offer substantial savings—often 50–70% less than new—while still delivering high torque cutting and large work envelope capacity. Machines with moderate cutting hours (10,000–20,000 hours) are particularly attractive, as they balance price and remaining life.
Cutting time is especially critical on these machines because they are typically used for heavy-duty applications. A machine with high hours (20,000+), especially in steel cutting, may have significant wear on spindle bearings and guideways. Conversely, a lightly used machine from a large OEM facility can offer near-new performance. For buyers needing large-part machining capability, a used FJV 5 Face-100/120 provides exceptional value and productivity.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED MAZAK FJV 5 FACE-100/120COST?
The cost of a used Mazak FJV 5 Face-100/120 varies widely depending on age, configuration, and most importantly, cutting hours and application type (heavy steel vs light alloy machining). As a large double-column machine, it commands higher pricing than standard vertical machining centers.
Machines manufactured before 2000 (or early-generation double-column Mazak machines) typically range from $25,000 to $60,000. These machines usually have high cutting hours (20,000–40,000+) and may require significant refurbishment, particularly in spindle and axis systems.
Models from 2000–2010 generally fall between $60,000 and $150,000. This range offers the best value, especially for machines with 10,000–20,000 cutting hours and solid maintenance records. Machines equipped with automatic angle heads and larger tool magazines tend to be priced toward the higher end.
Newer machines from 2010–2025 typically range from $150,000 to $350,000+, depending on size, options, and condition. Low-hour machines (under 10,000 hours), especially those used in lighter materials like aluminum, can command premium prices due to minimal wear.
Cutting time is the most critical pricing factor. A heavily used machine in rough steel applications may be significantly less valuable than an older machine used for lighter-duty work. Buyers should prioritize spindle health, geometry accuracy, and service history over simply focusing on the machine’s age.
