Our best estimate for the Makino F3 is $150,000 - $240,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class, not a quote from Makino; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/makino-f3#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
It is not in Makino's current lineup and may be an older model. Its figures could not be matched to a Makino source, so treat them as a guide when looking at a used machine and confirm spindle, travels and control on the machine itself.
The listed spindle runs to 20,000 RPM with an HSK-A63 taper, rated 12 kW (16 hp) continuous and 19 Nm (14 ft-lb). A 30,000 RPM spindle was listed as an option, and it uses an HSK-F63 taper instead.
The Makino F5 Professional 6 is listed with 900 x 500 x 450 mm (35.4 x 19.7 x 17.7 in) of travel and a 1,000 x 500 mm (39.4 in x 19.7 in) table, with the same 20,000 rpm spindle and 30,000 rpm option. The F3 has 650 x 400 x 400 mm (25.6 x 15.7 x 15.7 in) and a 750 x 400 mm (29.5 x 15.7 in) table.
Positioning accuracy of ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in) and repeatability of ±0.001 mm (±0.00004 in), with 0.05 micron scale feedback and 8 mm fine-pitch ball screws. These could not be confirmed against Makino, and a used machine should be checked before relying on them.
