Our best estimate for the Makino V33i Graphite is $180,000 - $260,000. 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-v33i-graphite#price; the request is passed to Makino or an authorised dealer.
The listed table gives CAT40 as the taper, with HSK-A63, HSK-F63 and HSK-E32 as alternatives, and 11 kW (14.8 hp) of spindle power. Speed is listed as 30,000 RPM maximum in one row and as 20,000 with CAT40 in another, so on a used machine identify the spindle actually fitted.
The table load is listed as 200 kg (441 lb) on a 600 x 400 mm (23.6 x 15.7 in) table. A separate row gives 660 lbs as the maximum payload. The two do not agree, so plan heavy fixtures and blanks around 200 kg (441 lb) until the machine's own documentation says otherwise.
It is larger and more powerful. The V33i Graphite has 450 x 350 x 300 mm (17.7 x 13.8 x 11.8 in) of travel and an 11 kW (14.8 hp) spindle with tools up to 3.15 in. The V22 Graphite has 350 x 300 x 250 mm (13.8 x 11.8 x 9.8 in), 3.7 kW (5 hp) and tools up to 1.26 in.
The standard magazine holds 25 tools, and 40 and 60 are listed as optional capacities. Tool-to-tool change is 4.8 secs. Each tool can be up to 3.15 in in diameter and 15.4 lbs, so check that heavy roughing tools fit before loading a full magazine.
