Our best estimate for the Makino V33i is $150,000 - $250,000 (estimated). 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-v33i#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
20,000 RPM is standard. 30,000 and 40,000 RPM spindles are listed as options. Spindle power is 15 kW (20 hp). Tapers listed are CAT 40, HSK-A63, HSK-F63, HSK-E50 and HSK-E32, so confirm which spindle and taper a used machine carries before buying tooling.
The listed positioning accuracy is ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in) and repeatability ±0.001 mm (±0.00004 in). Those are new-machine figures. On a used V33i, ask for a recent laser or ballbar report, and check that the core cooling for spindle, ballscrews and structure is working.
X and Z move on the spindle side while Y moves under the table. The column and base are one Meehanite cast iron piece, and core cooling runs through the spindle, ballscrews and structure. That layout keeps the table moving in one axis only, which suits fine finishing.
Not on the listed figures. The V33i has 650 x 450 x 350 mm (25.6 x 17.7 x 13.8 in) of travel and a 750 x 450 mm (29.5 x 17.7 in) table. The V33i Graphite is listed with 450 x 350 x 300 mm (17.7 x 13.8 x 11.8 in) and a 600 x 400 mm (23.6 x 15.7 in) table plus a sealed dust enclosure.
