How much does the GF Machining Liechti go-Mill 600 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from GF Machining Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Liechti go-Mill 600 is listed as a 5-axis simultaneous machining center with a 600 mm maximum part diameter and a 600 mm work zone length. Its spindle runs to 36,000 rpm on an HSK-E50 taper and is rated 32 kW (43 hp) and 55 Nm. This page's table has not been matched to a current Liechti or GF Machining Solutions specification, so treat each value as a listed figure to confirm.
In the go-Mill listings it falls between two sizes. The Liechti go-Mill 350 handles 350 mm parts over a 505 mm work zone with 25 kW and 40 Nm. The Liechti go-Mill 800 takes 800 mm parts over an 800 mm work zone with 40 kW and 70 Nm. The 600 shares their 30-tool magazine, 50 m/min rapid traverse and 0.002 mm positioning figure, so part size and torque are what change.
Compared with the g-Mill machines, the go-Mill spindle trades torque for speed. A 36,000 rpm, 55 Nm spindle is happiest with small end mills and ball-nose cutters at high feed per minute; anything that needs real low-speed torque belongs on a larger-taper machine.
The listed weight is 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). Coolant runs through the spindle at 80 bar, and the control is listed as a Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl, programmed with Liechti Turbosoft+.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Square envelope on paper: 600 mm part diameter and 600 mm work zone length
- 36,000 rpm spindle rated 32 kW and 55 Nm on HSK-E50
- 50 m/min rapid traverse with a 0.002 mm listed positioning figure
- Through-spindle coolant at 80 bar
Limitations
- 55 Nm of torque rules out heavy roughing with large cutters
- 30 tool positions, the same as the smaller Liechti go-Mill 350, so the larger envelope comes without a larger magazine
- Figures are unconfirmed against a current manufacturer sheet
- HSK-E50 tooling cannot be shared with HSK-A63 machines

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Liechti go-Mill 800 is listed for 800 mm parts over an 800 mm work zone, with 40 kW, 70 Nm and 14,000 kg of machine. The go-Mill 600 is listed at 600 mm and 600 mm, with 32 kW, 55 Nm and 12,000 kg. Speed, taper, tool count and rapids are the same.
02
An HSK-E50 spindle running to 36,000 rpm, listed at 32 kW (43 hp) and 55 Nm. This is a speed-oriented spindle for small tools. It will not carry HSK-A63 holders, so check tooling compatibility with the rest of the shop.
03
The table lists a positioning accuracy of 0.002 mm (2 µm). It does not give repeatability, the test standard or temperature conditions, so ask for the acceptance test protocol before relying on that figure for tolerance planning.
04
The listed weight is 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). A floor and foundation check should be done before ordering, together with the supplier's installation drawing for footprint, electrical supply and the 80 bar coolant unit.
