Our best estimate for the Makino F6 is $350,000 - $550,000. 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-f6#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
The F6 is not in Makino's current lineup, and its spec table could not be matched to a current Makino page. Treat the listed figures as a starting point and confirm travels, spindle and control on the machine itself before buying.
The listed spindle runs to 20,000 RPM with an HSK-A63 taper, and a 30,000 RPM option uses HSK-F63. Power is listed as 22/15 kW (29.5/20 hp) and torque as 47/28 Nm. On a used machine, ask which spindle is fitted and for its hours.
The current F5 Professional 6 has 900 mm (35.4 in) of X, 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y and 450 mm (17.7 in) of Z on a 1,000 x 500 mm (39.4 in x 19.7 in) table, with 30 tools. The F6 is listed with 1,060 mm (41.7 in) of X, 650 mm (25.6 in) of Y, 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z and 40 tools. Both carry a 20,000 RPM spindle with a 30,000 RPM option.
Plan for 11,000 kg (24,251 lb) of machine. Confirm the tool limits of 350 mm (13.8 in) length and 8 kg (17.6 lb) against your longest cutters, check that the Makino Professional 6 (Pro 6) control is in working order, and verify the scale feedback that gives the listed +/- 0.001 mm (0.00004 in) repeatability.
