Overview

The DMG Mori CMX 800 V is a C-frame vertical machining center that delivers solid mid-range performance at a competitive price point. With 800 x 560 x 510 mm (31.5 x 22 x 20.1 in) of travel, it slots between the smaller CMX 600 V and the larger CMX 1100 V, offering enough work envelope for most general-purpose milling and drilling operations without the footprint penalty of a 40-inch-class machine.

The standard spindle runs 12,000 RPM with 13 kW (17.4 hp) continuous power through a BT 40 / SK 40 taper. An optional inlineMASTER spindle bumps power to 20 kW (26.8 hp) with 53% more torque, which makes a real difference when hogging steel or roughing cast iron. The 24-tool arm-type ATC keeps tool changes fast, and the 800 kg (1,764 lb) table load handles serious fixture setups. Ball screws are manufactured to IT 1 tolerances with direct measuring systems standard on all axes.

Positioning accuracy hits 6 microns per ISO 230-2 across all three axes, which is competitive with machines costing considerably more. DMG Mori offers three control options: SIEMENS SINUMERIK, HEIDENHAIN, and FANUC (MAPPS), so shops can stick with whatever platform their operators know. The 19-inch multi-touch panel on the Siemens and Heidenhain versions is a significant upgrade over the smaller screens on competing entry-level VMCs.

The C-frame construction provides high rigidity for its weight class, and DMG Mori’s IoTconnector comes standard for connectivity to shop floor monitoring systems. At a floor space of roughly 7 square meters (75.3 sq ft), it fits comfortably in most shop layouts.

New CMX 800 V machines run $95,000-$130,000 depending on control choice and options. Used units from 2018-2022 trade for $55,000-$85,000. It competes with the Haas VF-3, Mazak VCN-530C, and Okuma GENOS M560-V in the mid-range VMC segment. Specs sourced from DMG Mori published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Three control options (Siemens, Heidenhain, Fanuc) let shops pick the platform their operators already know
6-micron positioning accuracy with direct measuring systems standard is exceptional for the price class
800 kg table load handles serious fixture setups that lighter VMCs cannot support
C-frame construction provides benchmark rigidity for consistent cutting performance
19-inch multi-touch panel on Siemens and Heidenhain versions beats the smaller screens on competing entry-level VMCs
IoTconnector standard enables shop floor monitoring integration out of the box
Optional inlineMASTER spindle adds 53% more torque for heavy steel and cast iron work

Limitations

24-tool standard ATC is adequate but falls short of competitors offering 30-40 tools at base
36 m/min rapids are slower than 42-60 m/min machines in this class, adding up on multi-tool jobs
Standard 13 kW spindle feels underpowered for aggressive roughing — the inlineMASTER upgrade is almost mandatory for steel work
DMG Mori parts and service pricing runs higher than Haas, increasing long-term ownership costs

Best For

Job shops needing a versatile mid-range VMC with premium build quality and control flexibility Shops standardized on Siemens or Heidenhain controls that want a cost-effective VMC without switching platforms General machining operations producing steel, aluminum, and cast iron parts up to 800 mm in length Training facilities and technical schools that need multi-control-platform exposure on one machine Production environments requiring direct measuring systems and tight positioning accuracy under $130K

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DMG Mori CMX 800 V cost new?

New CMX 800 V machines run $95,000-$130,000. The Fanuc MAPPS control comes in at the lower end, while Siemens SINUMERIK and Heidenhain TNC versions cost more. Adding the inlineMASTER spindle, expanded ATC, through-spindle coolant, and probing pushes the price toward the top of the range. Used units from 2018-2022 sell for $55,000-$85,000.

02 How does the CMX 800 V compare to the Haas VF-3?

The CMX 800 V and Haas VF-3 have very similar travel (800 vs 1,016 mm X). The Haas offers more X-travel and a lower starting price around $70K, but the CMX 800 V counters with better positioning accuracy (6 microns), direct measuring systems, and three control choices. Build quality favors the DMG Mori. The Haas wins on value; the CMX 800 V wins on precision and flexibility.

03 Which control should I choose on the CMX 800 V?

Pick what your operators know. Fanuc MAPPS is the most common in North America and has the lowest cost. Siemens SINUMERIK is preferred for complex 3D work and has the best conversational programming. Heidenhain is the standard in European mold and die shops. All three deliver the same machine performance.

04 Is the CMX 800 V rigid enough for steel roughing?

Yes, especially with the inlineMASTER spindle upgrade. The C-frame construction and 6,200 kg machine weight provide solid rigidity. For aggressive roughing in hardened steel, the standard 13 kW spindle may limit material removal rate — the 20 kW inlineMASTER option is worth the investment for heavy steel work.
