The Mazak FJV-35/80 is a double-column (gantry-style) vertical machining center designed for high-precision machining of medium-to-large components, particularly long workpieces. As part of Mazak’s FJV BT50 series, it is engineered for rigidity, stability, and consistent accuracy over extended machining cycles. The machine features a BT50 spindle with speeds up to 10,000 RPM and power around 50 hp, delivering high torque for cutting steel, cast iron, and aluminum.
The FJV-35/80 offers X/Y/Z travels of approximately 2,000 × 800 × 660 mm and a table size of around 2,240 × 750 mm, with load capacity up to roughly 3,000 kg, making it suitable for structural components, plates, and mold applications. A key design advantage is the elimination of spindle overhang found in C-frame machines, which improves rigidity and ensures high accuracy during long machining operations.
The machine also supports optional spindle configurations, including high-torque and high-speed variants, allowing flexibility across different materials. It is typically equipped with a 30-tool automatic tool changer and MAZATROL CNC control, enabling efficient programming and reduced setup time. Overall, the FJV-35/80 is designed to deliver reliable precision, high productivity, and stable performance in demanding production environments.

WHY BUY USED MAZAK FJV-35/80
Buying a used Mazak FJV-35/80 is a strong investment for manufacturers seeking a rigid, high-performance double-column machine at a significantly reduced cost. Mazak machines are known for their durability and long-term accuracy, and the FJV series is specifically designed to maintain performance even after years of continuous use.
One of the biggest advantages is rigidity and precision. The double-column structure minimizes vibration and ensures consistent accuracy, especially when machining long or heavy components. This makes the machine ideal for industries such as aerospace, heavy equipment, and mold and die manufacturing.
From a productivity standpoint, the machine offers high torque cutting, fast traverse rates, and a large working envelope, allowing it to handle a wide range of parts efficiently. Features like a 30-tool magazine and MAZATROL control further reduce setup time and improve workflow efficiency.
Cost savings are a major benefit, with used machines typically priced 40–70% lower than new models. Machines with moderate cutting hours (10,000–20,000 hours) often provide the best value. However, cutting time is critical—machines with high hours (20,000+) may require spindle or guideway refurbishment. A well-maintained, low-hour machine can still deliver near-new performance and excellent return on investment.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED MAZAK FJV-35/80COST?
The cost of a used Mazak FJV-35/80 varies depending on manufacturing year, condition, configuration, and most importantly, cutting hours. As a mid-sized double-column machining center, it is positioned between smaller FJV models and larger gantry machines in terms of pricing.
Machines manufactured before 2000 typically range from $20,000 to $55,000. These machines often have high cutting hours (20,000–35,000+) and may require refurbishment, particularly in spindle bearings, ball screws, and guideways.
Models from 2000–2010 generally fall within the $55,000 to $120,000 range. This category offers the best value, especially for machines with 10,000–20,000 cutting hours and consistent maintenance records. Machines with upgraded controls, additional tooling, or pallet systems may command higher prices.
Newer machines from 2010–2025 typically range from $120,000 to $260,000+, depending on condition, features, and usage. Low-hour machines (under 10,000 cutting hours), particularly those used for 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 critical factors in determining true market value.
