How much does the DMG Mori DMF 300|8 FD 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
Three metres of X on the slimmer DMF cross-section: the DMG MORI DMF 300|8 FD pairs 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X travel with 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y and 850 mm (33.5 in) of Z. Workpieces can be up to 3,300 mm (129.9 in) long, 850 mm (33.5 in) wide and 900 mm (35.4 in) high, with a weight limit of 3,000 kg (6,613.9 lb).
Two neighbours frame the choice. The DMF 200|8 FD has identical Y and Z travels but 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of X, so the DMF 300|8 FD gives 50% more length. The DMF 300|11 FD has the same 3,000 mm of X with 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of Y and 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of Z. A shop whose parts are long but stay inside 850 mm of width has no use for the larger cross-section and can keep the shorter Y reach of this model.
A long X axis invites two ways of working: one long part, or two separate setups. For the second, DMG MORI lists an optional partition wall to reduce downtime, and on 3,000 mm of travel each half still leaves room for a sizeable fixture. The table itself is a matter of choice, since the Highlights point to a variety of machine table options. The rotary table for 5-axis work and Mill-Turn technology are both options; the standard machine is a 4-axis machine with the B-axis, and the listed maximum diameter for rotating parts is 1,050 mm (41.3 in).
Spindles run from 15,000 to 20,000 rpm with up to 200 Nm. The magazine holds up to 120 tools of up to 400 mm length and changes them outside the working area. Y and Z are directly driven, the bed is a single cast iron piece carrying 3 linear guideways in X, and the dynamic package with a linear drive in X is optional.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X travel, 50% more than the DMF 200|8 FD on the same 800 mm (31.5 in) Y and 850 mm (33.5 in) Z
- Workpieces up to 3,300 mm (129.9 in) long and 3,000 kg (6,613.9 lb)
- A variety of machine table options is offered, so the table can be matched to the work
- Optional partition wall for working in two zones with less downtime
- Direct drives in Y and Z, with an optional linear drive in X as part of the dynamic package
- Tool magazine with up to 120 pockets
Limitations
- Y travel is 800 mm (31.5 in); parts that need more must go to the DMF 300|11 FD with 1,100 mm (43.3 in)
- Spindle torque is limited to 200 Nm across the listed spindle range
- The rotary table for 5-axis machining and Mill-Turn technology are options, not standard equipment
- Tools longer than 400 mm are outside the stated magazine limit

Frequently Asked Questions
01
In cross-section. Both have 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of X travel. The DMF 300|8 FD has 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y and 850 mm (33.5 in) of Z, while the DMF 300|11 FD has 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of Y and 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of Z. Choose by the width and height of the parts, not their length.
02
Up to 3,300 mm (129.9 in), with a maximum width of 850 mm (33.5 in), a maximum height of 900 mm (35.4 in) and a maximum weight of 3,000 kg (6,613.9 lb). X travel is 3,000 mm (118.1 in), so a part of full length extends beyond the travel and its end features need checking.
03
DMG MORI lists a partition wall as an option and names reduced downtime as its purpose. It divides the working area so that a part can be changed on one side during machining on the other. The size of each zone is not stated for this model, so request it before designing fixtures.
04
The Highlights refer to a variety of machine table options instead of one fixed table. A rotary table for 5-axis machining is among the options, and the maximum workpiece diameter is listed as 1,050 mm (41.3 in). The table type, its size and its load rating should be fixed in the quotation.
05
Spindles from 15,000 to 20,000 rpm with up to 200 Nm are listed. Power is not stated. With torque capped at 200 Nm, material removal in steel depends on smaller cutters at higher speed instead of large face mills at low speed.
