Overview

The DMG Mori DMF 300|8 FD is the mill-turn variant of the DMF 300|8 traveling-column machining center, pairing 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X-axis travel with 800 mm (31.5 in) on Y and 850 mm (33.5 in) on Z, plus a DirectDrive rotary table for integrated turning operations. This machine targets long parts up to 3,300 mm (129.9 in) that need both 5-axis milling and turning in a single setup — without the wider Y and Z envelope of the more expensive DMF 300|11 series.

The traveling-column design moves the spindle along the X-axis while the workpiece remains stationary, maintaining the full 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) table load at any X-position. Maximum workpiece dimensions are 3,300 mm long, 850 mm (33.5 in) wide, and 900 mm (35.4 in) tall, with a turning diameter of 1,050 mm (41.3 in).

The FD option adds a DirectDrive rotary table for turning operations, enabling complete machining of long rotational parts like turbine shafts, long hydraulic cylinders, and structural tubes that require both milled and turned features. This eliminates the need to transfer parts between a long-bed milling machine and a lathe.

Spindle options range from 15,000 to 20,000 RPM with up to 200 Nm of torque. The tool magazine holds up to 120 pockets with maximum 400 mm tool length. Modular configuration supports both 4-axis and 5-axis setups with optional integrated rotary table. Linear motor options are available for the X-axis.

Control options include Siemens Sinumerik ONE and Heidenhain TNC7 under CELOS X, with advanced software cycles including angularTOOL, gearHOBBING, and gearSKIVING for specialized machining operations. The DMF 300|8 FD offers the most affordable path to 3-meter mill-turn capability in the DMF lineup. Specs sourced from DMG Mori published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

3,000 mm X-axis travel with FD mill-turn at the most affordable price point in the DMF 300 series
3,000 kg table load accommodates substantial long workpieces while maintaining turning capability
Traveling-column design delivers constant table load regardless of X-position for consistent cutting performance
FD mill-turn eliminates secondary lathe operations for long parts with combined features
Up to 120-tool magazine supports complex multi-operation mill-turn programs
Advanced cycles (angularTOOL, gearHOBBING, gearSKIVING) expand the range of operations beyond conventional milling

Limitations

800 mm Y-axis and 850 mm Z-axis are narrower than the DMF 300|11 series, limiting workpiece width and height
200 Nm maximum spindle torque is lower than the |11 series at 430 Nm, constraining heavy roughing performance
Table load of 3,000 kg is half the DMF 300|11 at 6,000 kg — insufficient for the heaviest parts
Starting at $650K, this is still a significant capital investment for shops stepping into long-part machining

Best For

Aerospace suppliers machining long narrow structural members with milled pockets and turned end fittings Energy sector shops producing turbine shafts and long valve stems requiring combined mill-turn operations Oil and gas manufacturers machining downhole tool bodies up to 3.3 meters long with both milled and turned features Defense contractors producing long actuator housings and barrel components with combined features Shops needing 3-meter mill-turn capability at a lower entry price than the DMF 300|11 FD

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DMG Mori DMF 300|8 FD cost?

New DMF 300|8 FD machines price between $650,000 and $950,000 depending on spindle, control, and linear motor configuration. The FD mill-turn option adds roughly $50,000-$70,000 over the standard DMF 300|8.

02 Should I choose the DMF 300|8 FD or the DMF 300|11 FD?

Choose the DMF 300|8 FD for narrower parts under 850 mm wide and 3,000 kg. Step up to the DMF 300|11 FD when parts need 1,100 mm Y/Z travel, weigh up to 6,000 kg, or require the SK50/430 Nm spindle for heavy roughing. The |8 saves roughly $250,000-$400,000.

03 How does the DMF 300|8 FD compare to the DMF 200|8 FD?

The DMF 300|8 FD offers 50% more X-axis travel (3,000 vs 2,000 mm) and 50% more table load (3,000 vs 2,000 kg), handling parts up to 3,300 mm long versus 2,300 mm. Both share the same 800/850 mm Y/Z envelope and spindle options.

04 What specialized machining cycles are available?

The DMF 300|8 FD supports angularTOOL for angled tool machining, gearHOBBING for gear cutting operations, and gearSKIVING for efficient gear production. These cycles expand the machine beyond conventional milling and turning into specialized gear manufacturing.
