The Mazak FJV 5 Face-60/160 is a large double-column (gantry-style) vertical machining center designed for high-precision, heavy-duty machining of large and long components. As part of Mazak’s FJV 5 Face series, it is engineered for 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 time and handling.
This model features a BT50 spindle with a standard speed of 10,000 RPM, delivering high torque and stable cutting performance for materials such as steel, cast iron, and aluminum. The machine offers a large working envelope with travels of approximately 4,200 mm (X), 1,400 mm (Y), and 660 mm (Z), along with a table size around 4,000 × 1,250 mm, making it ideal for large structural components, molds, and heavy industrial parts.
A key advantage is its rigid double-column construction, which minimizes deflection and ensures long-term accuracy during heavy cutting operations. The integrated automatic angle head allows continuous machining of side faces without repositioning the workpiece. Equipped with MAZATROL CNC control, the machine simplifies programming for complex parts and improves productivity. Overall, the FJV 5 Face-60/160 is designed for high-efficiency machining of large, complex components with reduced setup time.

WHY BUY USED MAZAK FJV 5 FACE-60/160
Buying a used Mazak FJV 5 Face-60/160 is a strong investment for manufacturers needing large-capacity machining with advanced 5-face capability at a reduced cost. These machines are built with extremely rigid double-column structures, allowing them to maintain precision and cutting performance even after years of operation when properly maintained.
One of the biggest advantages is process efficiency. The machine’s ability to perform full 5-sided machining in a single setup reduces handling, improves geometric accuracy, and shortens production time. This is especially beneficial in industries such as aerospace, energy, and heavy equipment manufacturing where large components are common.
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) often provide the best balance between cost and remaining lifespan.
Cutting time is a critical factor for this model. Machines with high hours (20,000+)—especially those used in heavy steel applications—may require spindle rebuilds or guideway servicing. However, a well-maintained machine with lower 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 investment.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED MAZAK FJV 5 FACE-60/160COST?
The cost of a used Mazak FJV 5 Face-60/160 varies based on manufacturing year, configuration, condition, and most importantly, cutting hours and application type. As a large double-column machining center, it commands higher pricing than smaller models due to its size and capability.
Machines manufactured before 2000 or early-generation equivalents typically range from $35,000 to $80,000. These machines usually have very high cutting hours (20,000–40,000+) and may require refurbishment, particularly in spindle assemblies and axis components.
Models from 2000–2010 generally fall between $80,000 and $180,000. This category often provides the best value, especially for machines with 10,000–20,000 cutting hours and solid maintenance records. Machines equipped with automatic angle heads, larger tool magazines, or upgraded controls tend to command higher prices.
Newer machines from 2010–2025 typically range from $180,000 to $400,000+, 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 critical in determining true market value.
