How much does the DMG Mori DMC 65 FD monoBLOCK cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from DMG Mori. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The DMG MORI DMC 65 FD monoBLOCK takes workpieces up to 840 mm (33.1 in) in diameter and 600 kg (1,322.8 lb) within travels of 735 × 650 × 560 mm (28.9 × 25.6 × 22 in). Those figures are the same as the DMC 65 monoBLOCK 2nd Generation, and DMG MORI's Highlights for the model give no table speed or table torque for turning.
For anyone considering it for combined milling and turning, that gap sets the first questions for the supplier: how fast the table turns, with what torque, and how the 600 kg (1,322.8 lb) limit applies when the part is spinning. The published envelope suits disc and ring shapes more than shafts. A part may be 840 mm (33.1 in) across but only 500 mm (19.7 in) tall, and the diameter exceeds the 735 mm (28.9 in) X travel, so the outer edge is machined by bringing it round to the tool.
What the Highlights do document is the frame. The machine is a single casting with a one-piece stand and large carriages, running on 45 mm roller guides in all axes with ball screws of ø40 / 50 / 40 mm, and all components are FEM-optimised. Stated positioning accuracy is 4 µm. VCS Complete is credited with up to 30% higher volumetric accuracy, and cooling is paired with multi-sensor compensation to hold that as temperatures change.
Around the frame, the machine is arranged for automation. Tool magazines sit inside the machine and reach up to 240 pockets, the door opens to the left to leave room for an automation connection, and pallet handling, workpiece handling or a robot can be added later. The work area, magazine and setup station are all on the front, and installation uses a 3-point support.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Workpiece diameter up to 840 mm (33.1 in), larger than the 735 mm (28.9 in) X travel
- Stated positioning accuracy of 4 µm
- Ball screws of ø40 / 50 / 40 mm and 45 mm roller guides in all axes on a one-piece stand
- Up to 240 tool pockets in machine-integrated magazines
- Work area, tool magazine and setup station are all accessed from the front
- Pallet handling, workpiece handling and robot automation are retrofittable
Limitations
- No table speed or table torque for turning is published in the Highlights for this model
- No milling spindle speed, power or torque is stated either
- Height is limited to 500 mm (19.7 in), so long, shaft-like parts do not fit
- The 600 kg (1,322.8 lb) weight limit covers the part and its chuck or fixture together
- Up to 30% higher volumetric accuracy depends on VCS Complete; the Highlights do not say whether it is standard

Frequently Asked Questions
01
None in the Highlights for this model: there is no table speed and no table torque. The published technical data covers travels of 735 × 650 × 560 mm (28.9 × 25.6 × 22 in) and workpiece limits of 840 mm (33.1 in) diameter, 500 mm (19.7 in) height and 600 kg (1,322.8 lb). Ask DMG MORI for the turning figures before planning mill-turn work on it.
02
The published travels and workpiece limits are the same for both: 735 mm (28.9 in) in X, 650 mm (25.6 in) in Y, 560 mm (22 in) in Z, and parts up to 840 mm (33.1 in) and 600 kg (1,322.8 lb). The data does not separate the two by any figure, so the difference has to be established from the quotation for each.
03
DMG MORI describes a single casting with a one-piece stand and large carriages. The figures given are 45 mm roller guides in all axes and ball screws of ø40 / 50 / 40 mm, and the components are FEM-optimised. No stiffness value or cutting data is published, so judge it from a test cut on your own material.
04
The DMC 75 monoBLOCK 2nd Generation has 750 mm (29.5 in) of X on the same Y and Z. The DMC 65 h FD monoBLOCK has travels of 650 × 950 × 700 mm (25.6 × 37.4 × 27.6 in) and takes parts up to 700 mm (27.6 in) tall. The DMC 80 u FD duoBLOCK is a size up at 800 × 1,050 × 850 mm (31.5 × 41.3 × 33.5 in).
05
The magazines are integrated in the machine and are stated at up to 240 pockets. The Highlights do not give the pocket count of the standard magazine. Because the magazine is reached from the front, tools can be loaded from the same side as the setup station.
