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 V99L (40 Taper) is the long-table member of the V99 family: 1,300 x 1,000 x 500 mm (51.2 x 39.4 x 19.7 in) of travel over a 1,500 x 1,000 mm (59.1 x 39.4 in) table rated for 3,000 kg (6,614 lb), driven by a 22 kW (30 hp) CAT40 spindle with HSK-A63 optional. It is not in Makino's current lineup and is probably an older model. Everything below comes from the listed table and is unconfirmed by Makino.
A full metre of Y travel is unusual on a vertical of this class. It lets the machine take square mold bases and wide plates that would need re-clamping on the V99 (40 Taper), which shares the spindle but stops at 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y and a 1,100 x 800 mm table. The extra table also allows two or three medium fixtures side by side for unattended runs.
Z travel stays at 500 mm (19.7 in), so the extra size is all in the plane, not in height. Rapids are 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) in X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z on roller-type linear guides, through-spindle coolant is standard, and the magazine holds 30 tools with 40 and 80 as options. Tool-to-tool time is 8 secs, and each tool can be up to 4.7 in across.
Several rows of the listed table do not agree with each other. Spindle speed is 14,000 RPM in the main row and 20,000 RPM in another; a payload row says 8,816 lbs against the 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) table rating; and the tool weight is printed as 17.6" with an inch mark instead of a weight unit. Expect to verify these on the machine. It weighs about 16,000 kg (35,274 lb) and runs the Makino Professional 6 (Pro 6) control.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Y travel and a 1,500 x 1,000 mm (59.1 x 39.4 in) table
- 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) table load for large mold bases and multi-fixture setups
- 22 kW (30 hp) CAT40 spindle, HSK-A63 optional, with through-spindle coolant standard
- 30-tool magazine as standard, with 40 and 80 listed as options
Limitations
- Z travel of 500 mm (19.7 in) is short relative to the 1,300 x 1,000 mm footprint
- Tools are limited to 4.7 in across on the 40-taper spindle
- Tool-to-tool time of 8 secs
- Older model with conflicting rows in the listed table: spindle speed, payload and tool weight all need checking

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The V99L has 1,300 x 1,000 x 500 mm (51.2 x 39.4 x 19.7 in) of travel, a 1,500 x 1,000 mm table and a 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) load. The V99 (40 Taper) has 1,000 x 800 x 500 mm, a 1,100 x 800 mm table and 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). Spindle, 22 kW (30 hp) CAT40, and Z travel are the same.
02
The main speed row gives 14,000 RPM from a 22 kW (30 hp) spindle with CAT40 or optional HSK-A63. A second row gives 20,000 RPM. A used machine could carry either, so check the spindle plate and the maximum speed set in the control.
03
Yes, through-spindle coolant is listed as standard. On a 1,500 x 1,000 mm table carrying large plates, it is what makes deep drilling of cooling channels and bolt holes practical without pecking every hole.
04
The table load is 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). The listed table also gives a maximum payload of 8,816 lbs and a maximum workpiece of 90.55 x 39.37 x 25.59 in, which go beyond the table rating. Plan on 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) until the machine's documentation confirms otherwise.
