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 (50 Taper) carries a 12,000 RPM CAT50 spindle, with HSK-A100 optional, over 1,200 x 700 x 650 mm (47.2 x 27.6 x 25.6 in) of travel and a 1,400 x 700 mm (55.1 x 27.6 in) table rated for 2,500 kg (5,512 lb). Makino no longer shows it in its current lineup and it appears to be an older model. The table here is the listed one and has not been confirmed by Makino.
What the 50 taper buys is tool size. Each tool can be up to 145 mm (5.71 in) in diameter and 20 kg (44.1 lb), enough for large face mills, heavy boring heads and big indexable drills. 12,000 RPM is high for a 50-taper spindle, so the machine is not limited to slow roughing; it can also finish with mid-size cutters. No spindle power or torque is listed, so the real cutting capacity has to be judged from the spindle on the machine.
The 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z gives room for long 50-taper assemblies above a part up to the listed 550 mm (21.7 in) workpiece height. The magazine has 30 pockets, 40 as an option, and tool change takes 5 sec; with tools this large, expect some pockets to stay empty. Rapid and cutting feed are both 787 in/min. The control is a Makino Professional 6 with SGI.5.
The current Makino F8 also runs a CAT50 spindle with HSK-A100 optional and the same 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z, but at 10,000 rpm, with 1,300 x 800 mm of X and Y and a 1,550 x 800 mm (61 in x 31.5 in) table.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
CAT50 tools, or HSK-A100 with the optional spindle, up to 145 mm (5.71 in) in diameter and 20 kg (44.1 lb). The magazine holds 30 as standard and 40 as an option, with a 5 sec tool change. Large tools may need the pockets either side kept empty.
02
Both have a CAT50 spindle with HSK-A100 optional and 650 mm (25.6 in) of Z. The Makino F8 has 1,300 x 800 x 650 mm of travel, a 1,550 x 800 mm table and 10,000 rpm. The V77 (50 Taper) has 1,200 x 700 x 650 mm, a 1,400 x 700 mm table and 12,000 RPM.
03
The listed maximum workpiece is 1,400 x 700 x 550 mm (55.1 x 27.6 x 21.7 in), with a table load of 2,500 kg (5,512 lb). That covers large mold bases and fabrications, provided fixtures and any riser are counted in the weight.
04
No. It is not in Makino's current lineup and appears to be an older model. On a used machine, confirm the spindle speed of 12,000 RPM and the CAT50 or HSK-A100 taper, the magazine size, and that the control is the listed Makino Professional 6 with SGI.5.
