How much does the Makino V33i-5XB cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Makino. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Makino V33i-5XB is a compact vertical 5-axis machine with 450 mm (17.7 in) of X, 350 mm (13.8 in) of Y and 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z, a 300 mm (11.8 in) rotary table and an HSK-E40 spindle. It is not in Makino's current lineup, so this page serves buyers looking at a used machine, and the figures below are the listed figures, not checked against Makino.
The small HSK-E40 taper, the 15 kW (20.1 hp) spindle rating and a tool limit of 3.15 in diameter and 15.4 lbs point to light, fine work on small parts with small-diameter tools rather than heavy cutting. The magazine holds 25 tools, with 40 and 60 listed as options, and tool-to-tool time is 4.8 sec. The control is listed as the Makino Professional 6 (Pro 6), and the machine weighs ~5,500 kg (12,125 lb).
Several rows of the listed table disagree with each other, so check them on the machine itself. Spindle speed appears as 30,000 RPM in one row and as 20,000 (30,000, 40,000 opt) in another. The tilting axis is given as +30° to -90° (120° total) on B and, in a second row, as 130° (-20° + 110°) on A. Rapid traverse is 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) in one row and 787 in/min in another. Load is 150 kg (331 lb) on the table against a 66 lbs maximum payload, with a maximum workpiece of 9.8"ø x 5.31" (conditional). The machine's plate, the control's parameters and a test cut will settle which figures belong to the unit you are looking at.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- HSK-E40 spindle taper suited to small, high-speed tools on fine work
- 450 x 350 x 300 mm (17.7 x 13.8 x 11.8 in) travels on a compact machine of ~5,500 kg (12,125 lb)
- 25-tool magazine with 40 and 60 listed as options, and a 4.8 sec tool-to-tool time
- Listed with the Makino Professional 6 (Pro 6) control
Limitations
- Not in Makino's current lineup, and the listed table has not been checked against Makino
- Listed rows conflict on spindle speed, rotary axis range, rapid traverse and payload
- Tools are limited to 3.15 in in diameter and 15.4 lbs
- The payload is 66 lbs in one row and 150 kg (331 lb) in another, either way a small-part machine

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It is not in Makino's current lineup. The figures on this page are the listed figures and have not been checked against Makino, so treat them as a starting point when inspecting a used machine.
02
The listed rows disagree. One gives 30,000 RPM; another gives 20,000 with 30,000 and 40,000 as options. The taper is listed once, as HSK-E40. Check the spindle plate or the control's parameters on the specific machine to find which spindle it carries.
03
Travels are 450 mm (17.7 in) in X, 350 mm (13.8 in) in Y and 300 mm (11.8 in) in Z, with a 300 mm (11.8 in) table. The maximum workpiece is listed as 9.8"ø x 5.31" (conditional), and the payload as 66 lbs in one row and 150 kg (331 lb) in another.
04
HSK-E40 tools, 25 in the standard magazine with 40 and 60 listed as options. Tools are limited to 3.15 in in diameter and 15.4 lbs, and tool-to-tool time is listed as 4.8 sec. That is a small-tool machine; large face mills and heavy boring bars are out of range.
