How much does the DMG Mori DMU 125 P duoBLOCK 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 DMU 125 P duoBLOCK is a 5-axis machining center with a square working plane, 1,250 mm (49.2 in) in both X and Y, and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z. It accepts workpieces up to 1,250 mm (49.2 in) in diameter, 1,600 mm (63 in) in height and 2,800 kg (6,172.9 lb). Here the maximum diameter equals the X and Y travel, so a full-size part sits inside the strokes instead of overhanging them.
DMG MORI builds the 125 size in a second form as well. The DMU 125 monoBLOCK has 1,335 mm (52.6 in) of X, the same 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of Y and 900 mm (35.4 in) of Z. Against that machine the DMU 125 P duoBLOCK has less X and more Z, and its 1,600 mm workpiece height points to upright parts such as housings and large tool bodies.
Spindle torque is where the duoBLOCK is specified hardest. The 5X torqueMASTER is listed with 1,327.6 ft lb and 69.7 hp, the powerMASTER motorspindle with 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp. The first has 80% more torque, the second about 48% more power, and no speed is given for either. With the roughing package DMG MORI quotes up to 50 % higher cutting power.
The wheel magazine is listed with 453 tool pockets and a tool replenishment time of max. 5.6 sec, while taking little floor space. A completely water-cooled feed drive and a spindle growth sensor (SGS) address heat, and availability is stated as 96 %.
The machine is also available in a mill-turn version, the DMU 125 p FD duoBLOCK, whose DirectDrive table runs at rotational speeds up to 500 rpm for milling and turning in one setup. Grinding is listed as an integrated technology.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- X and Y travel of 1,250 mm (49.2 in) each cover the full 1,250 mm (49.2 in) workpiece diameter
- Carries up to 2,800 kg (6,172.9 lb) and parts 1,600 mm (63 in) high
- 5X torqueMASTER with 1,327.6 ft lb and 69.7 hp, or powerMASTER motorspindle with 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp
- Wheel magazine listed with 453 tool pockets
- Water-cooled feed drive and spindle growth sensor (SGS) against thermal drift
- Grinding is listed as an integrated technology for surface quality
Limitations
- Spindle speeds are not listed, and the base spindle is not identified
- Z travel is 1,000 mm (39.4 in) while workpieces may be 1,600 mm (63 in) high
- Turning on the DirectDrive table at up to 500 rpm belongs to the mill-turn version
- Up to 50 % higher cutting power depends on the roughing package

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X and Y each travel 1,250 mm (49.2 in) and Z travels 1,000 mm (39.4 in). The largest workpiece is 1,250 mm (49.2 in) in diameter, 1,600 mm (63 in) in height and 2,800 kg (6,172.9 lb), fixture included. Height is greater than Z travel, so tool reach on tall parts has to be planned.
02
The DMU 125 monoBLOCK has 1,335 mm (52.6 in) of X, 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of Y and 900 mm (35.4 in) of Z. The DMU 125 P duoBLOCK has 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of X, the same Y and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z. The monoBLOCK is the longer machine in X, the duoBLOCK the deeper one in Z.
03
A powerMASTER motorspindle with 737.6 ft lb and 103.3 hp, and a 5X torqueMASTER with 1,327.6 ft lb and 69.7 hp. The listed data gives no maximum speed for either and does not say which is standard. A roughing package with up to 50 % higher cutting power is listed in addition.
04
DMG MORI states that the machine is also available in a mill-turn version, with milling and turning in one setup on a DirectDrive table at rotational speeds up to 500 rpm. That version is the DMU 125 p FD duoBLOCK, which has the same travels of 1,250 mm (49.2 in) in X and Y and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in Z.
05
The wheel magazine is listed with 453 tool pockets, and DMG MORI gives a tool replenishment time of max. 5.6 sec. The limits on tool length, diameter and weight are not part of the listed data, so check them for boring bars and large face mills.
