The Mazak FJV-100/120 is a large double-column (gantry-style) vertical machining center designed for high-precision machining of large workpieces. It is part of Mazak’s FJV series, known for rigid construction, high accuracy, and long-term stability in demanding production environments. The machine features a BT50 spindle with a standard speed of 10,000 RPM and high torque output, enabling efficient machining of steel, cast iron, and aluminum components.
The FJV-100/120 offers a substantial working envelope with X/Y/Z travels of approximately 3,200 × 2,450 × 660 mm and a large table size around 3,000 × 2,000 mm, making it ideal for molds, dies, semiconductor equipment, and large structural parts. A key design advantage is the elimination of spindle overhang seen in traditional C-frame machines, which improves rigidity and ensures consistent accuracy over long machining cycles.
The machine can be equipped with an optional angle head, enabling 5-face machining and allowing multiple surfaces to be processed in a single setup. Combined with MAZATROL CNC control and a large tool magazine (typically around 60 tools), the FJV-100/120 delivers high productivity, precision, and flexibility for large-part machining applications.

WHY BUY USED MAZAK FJV-100/120
Buying a used Mazak FJV-100/120 is a strong investment for manufacturers needing large-part machining capability without the high capital cost of a new double-column machine. These machines are built with heavy-duty structures and precision components, allowing them to maintain accuracy and performance even after years of operation when properly maintained.
One of the biggest advantages is rigidity and stability. The double-column design eliminates spindle overhang and reduces vibration, ensuring consistent machining accuracy even during long production runs. This makes the machine particularly suitable for industries such as mold and die, aerospace, and energy where precision is critical.
From a cost perspective, used machines typically offer 40–70% savings compared to new models while still delivering high torque cutting and large work envelope capacity. Machines with moderate cutting hours (10,000–20,000 hours) usually provide the best balance between price and remaining life.
Cutting time is a critical factor. Machines with high hours (20,000+), especially those used in heavy steel machining, may require spindle rebuilds or guideway servicing. However, a well-maintained machine with lower cutting hours can still deliver near-new performance. With Mazak’s global support network and widely used MAZATROL control, integration and servicing remain relatively straightforward, making this model a reliable long-term asset.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED MAZAK FJV-100/120COST?
The cost of a used Mazak FJV-100/120 varies depending on manufacturing year, condition, configuration, and most importantly, cutting hours and application type. As a large double-column machining center, it commands higher pricing than standard VMCs due to its size and capability.
Machines manufactured before 2000 typically range from $30,000 to $70,000. These machines often have very high cutting hours (20,000–40,000+) and may require refurbishment, particularly in spindle assemblies and axis systems.
Models from 2000–2010 generally fall between $70,000 and $160,000. This category offers the best value, especially for machines with 10,000–20,000 cutting hours and strong maintenance records. Machines equipped with optional angle heads for 5-face machining or upgraded controls tend to command higher prices.
Newer machines from 2010–2025 typically range from $160,000 to $320,000+, depending on condition, features, and usage. Low-hour machines (under 10,000 cutting hours), particularly those used in lighter materials like aluminum, can achieve premium pricing due to reduced wear.
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 condition, and service history essential in determining true market value.
