The Mazak FJV 5 Face-35/80 is a double-column (gantry-style) vertical machining center designed for high-precision, multi-surface machining of medium-length components. As part of Mazak’s FJV 5 Face series, it is built to perform full 5-sided machining using an automatic angle head, enabling multiple faces of a workpiece to be machined in a single setup and significantly reducing cycle times and handling.
This model features a BT50 spindle with a standard speed of 10,000 RPM, offering strong torque and stability for machining a wide range of materials, including steel, cast iron, and aluminum. The machine provides X/Y/Z travels of approximately 2,000 × 800 × 660 mm and a table size of around 2,240 × 750 mm, making it suitable for medium-length plates, structural components, and precision parts.
A key feature is its rigid double-column construction, which minimizes deflection and ensures consistent accuracy during long machining cycles. The integrated angle head allows efficient machining of side faces without repositioning the workpiece. Additionally, the MAZATROL CNC control simplifies programming for complex parts and enhances productivity. Overall, the FJV 5 Face-35/80 is designed to deliver high accuracy, reduced setup time, and efficient machining performance in a compact gantry platform.

WHY BUY USED MAZAK FJV 5 FACE-35/80
Buying a used Mazak FJV 5 Face-35/80 is an excellent option for manufacturers seeking efficient 5-face machining capability in a mid-sized gantry machine without the high cost of new equipment. These machines are known for their rigid construction and long service life, allowing them to maintain accuracy and performance even after years of operation when properly maintained.
One of the main advantages is process efficiency. The machine’s ability to perform 5-sided machining in a single setup significantly reduces handling time, improves dimensional accuracy, and increases throughput. Even older units retain this core capability, making them highly valuable in production environments focused on reducing setup and cycle time.
From a cost perspective, used machines typically offer 40–70% savings compared to new models while still delivering strong cutting performance. Machines with moderate cutting hours (8,000–18,000 hours) generally provide the best balance between price and remaining life.
Cutting time is especially critical for this model, as it is often used in continuous production. Machines with high cutting hours (20,000+), particularly in heavy steel applications, may require spindle or guideway maintenance. However, a well-maintained low-hour machine can still deliver near-new performance. For shops needing efficient 5-face machining with a moderate footprint, this model offers strong ROI and long-term reliability.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED MAZAK FJV 5 FACE-35/80COST?
The cost of a used Mazak FJV 5 Face-35/80 depends on factors such as manufacturing year, configuration, condition, and especially cutting hours. As a mid-sized double-column machine, it is typically priced between smaller FJV models and larger gantry systems.
Machines manufactured before 2000 or early-generation equivalents generally range from $20,000 to $55,000. These machines usually have high cutting hours (20,000–35,000+) and may require refurbishment, particularly in spindle bearings and axis components.
Models from 2000–2010 typically fall within the $55,000 to $120,000 range. This segment offers the best value, especially for machines with 10,000–20,000 cutting hours and consistent maintenance records. Machines equipped with automatic angle heads, larger tool magazines, or upgraded controls tend to be priced toward the higher end.
Newer machines from 2010–2025 generally range from $120,000 to $280,000+, depending on condition, options, and usage. Low-hour machines (under 10,000 cutting hours), particularly those used in lighter materials like aluminum, can command premium pricing.
Ultimately, cutting time is more important than age. A heavily used newer machine may be less valuable than an older, well-maintained one, making inspection, spindle health, and service history critical factors in determining true market value.
