How much does the Makino V77 (40 Taper) cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Makino. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Makino V77 (40 Taper) is a vertical machining center with 1,200 x 700 x 650 mm (47.2 x 27.6 x 25.6 in) of travel, a 1,400 x 700 mm (55.1 x 27.6 in) table that carries 2,500 kg (5,512 lb), and a 20,000 RPM CAT40 spindle with HSK-63 as the optional taper. It is not in Makino's current lineup and is most likely an older model. The figures on this page are the listed ones, not confirmed against Makino.
The combination that defines it is deep Z with a fast 40-taper spindle. 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z travel and a maximum workpiece height of 550 mm (21.7 in) leave room for tall mold halves, long tool assemblies and angle heads, while 20,000 RPM suits finishing with small ball mills. The table gives no spindle power, so judge roughing capacity from the spindle itself on a used machine.
The maximum workpiece matches the table, 1,400 x 700 x 550 mm (55.1 x 27.6 x 21.7 in). Tools can be up to 120 mm (4.72 in) in diameter and 8 kg (17.6 lb). The magazine holds 30 tools, 40 with the option, and tool change time is 5 sec. Rapid and cutting feed are both listed at 787 in/min, and the control is a Makino Professional 6 with SGI.5.
The current PS105 is the nearest 40-taper Makino in size, with 1,050 x 510 x 460 mm of travel, a 1,300 x 510 mm table and a 14,000 rpm CAT40 spindle. Against the PS105, the V77 (40 Taper) has 700 mm (27.6 in) of Y instead of 510 mm and a much taller work zone, at a higher spindle speed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z travel and a 550 mm (21.7 in) maximum workpiece height for tall parts
- 20,000 RPM CAT40 spindle, with HSK-63 as the optional taper
- 1,400 x 700 mm (55.1 x 27.6 in) table rated for 2,500 kg (5,512 lb)
- Tools up to 120 mm (4.72 in) and 8 kg (17.6 lb), with a 5 sec tool change
Limitations
- Only 30 tools as standard and 40 with the option, tight for complex mold work
- Rapid traverse of 787 in/min makes positioning across 1,200 mm (47.2 in) of X slow
- The listed table gives no spindle power or torque
- Older model outside Makino's current lineup, with an unconfirmed table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
They share travels, table and load: 1,200 x 700 x 650 mm, 1,400 x 700 mm and 2,500 kg (5,512 lb). The 40-taper version runs to 20,000 RPM with tools up to 120 mm (4.72 in) and 8 kg (17.6 lb). The V77 (50 Taper) runs to 12,000 RPM and takes tools up to 145 mm (5.71 in) and 20 kg (44.1 lb).
02
The listed maximum workpiece is 1,400 x 700 x 550 mm (55.1 x 27.6 x 21.7 in), with 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z travel. The difference between the two is the room left for the tool and holder above a part of full height, so check the gauge length of your longest tool against it.
03
The PS105 has 1,050 x 510 x 460 mm of travel, a 1,300 x 510 mm (51.1 in x 20 in) table and a 14,000 rpm CAT40 spindle with 30 tools (60 optional). The V77 (40 Taper) has more travel in every axis, a 1,400 x 700 mm table and a 20,000 RPM spindle, but 40 tools at most.
04
Each tool can be up to 120 mm (4.72 in) in diameter and 8 kg (17.6 lb). The magazine holds 30 as standard and 40 with the option, and tool change time is 5 sec. Larger face mills and heavy boring heads belong on the V77 (50 Taper).
