Overview

The Mazak Quick Turn 100MY is a small-capacity turning center with full Y-axis milling capability, positioned in Mazak's standard Quick Turn lineup rather than the compact series. The QT-100MY delivers the build quality and rigidity of the full-size Quick Turn platform in a smaller work envelope optimized for precision parts under 6-inch chuck size.

The main spindle delivers 11 kW (15 hp) at 6,000 RPM through an A2-5 spindle nose with 42 mm (1.65 in) bar capacity. The spindle provides a good balance of speed for small-diameter aluminum work and torque for steel roughing. The 12-station BMT turret runs live tools at 6,000 RPM with 3.7 kW (5 hp), and the Y-axis delivers 100 mm (+50/-50 mm) of off-center travel — generous for a machine in this size class and matching the Y-axis range of the larger QT-200MY.

The work envelope covers 200 mm (7.87 in) maximum turning diameter and 300 mm (11.81 in) maximum machining length with axis travels of 140 mm (X), 100 mm (Y), and 405 mm (Z). Rapids reach 30 m/min on X and Z. The machine weighs approximately 3,200 kg (7,055 lb), giving it substantially more mass and rigidity than the QT-COMPACT 100MY while handling the same diameter range.

Running MAZATROL SmoothG on standard models, the Quick Turn 100MY benefits from the more advanced control versus the SmoothEz found on compact and economy models. The SmoothG provides faster processing, more advanced tool path optimization, and additional features for complex mill-turn programming. New machines price between $80,000 and $135,000, with used units trading between $40,000 and $80,000. The QT-100MY competes with the Nakamura-Tome SC-100MY, Doosan Lynx 2100LY, and DMG Mori CLX 350.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Full Quick Turn platform rigidity in a small-chuck machine delivers superior surface finish and tighter tolerances versus compact series
100 mm Y-axis travel matches the larger QT-200MY, providing generous off-center milling capability for the machine's size class
MAZATROL SmoothG control offers faster processing and more advanced features than the SmoothEz found on compact and economy models
30 m/min rapids on X and Z minimize non-cutting time in production cycles with multiple tool changes
6,000 RPM spindle balances high surface speed for aluminum with solid torque for steel, covering a wide material range
BMT live tooling with 3.7 kW provides meaningful milling capability for cross-drilling, tapping, and moderate contouring operations

Limitations

42 mm bar capacity limits through-spindle bar feeding to 1.65-inch stock; shops needing 2-inch bar capacity must step up to the QT-200
Higher price point than the QT-COMPACT 100MY for comparable work envelope; the premium buys rigidity and the SmoothG control
3,200 kg machine weight is significantly heavier than the compact 100 series, requiring more floor space and installation effort
200 mm maximum turning diameter limits chuck work capability; larger forgings and castings require the QT-200 or QT-300
11 kW spindle power is moderate; heavy roughing in stainless and exotic materials requires conservative feed rates

Best For

Precision manufacturers producing small parts where surface finish and tolerances justify the full-size Quick Turn platform over the compact series Aerospace shops machining small titanium and Inconel components where machine rigidity directly impacts part quality and tool life Medical device manufacturers producing complex implants and instruments with off-center milled features requiring the Y-axis Job shops running a mix of bar-fed production and small chuck work that benefit from the versatility of Y-axis milling Shops upgrading from a compact or economy turning center that need better rigidity, faster controls, and more machining length

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a new Mazak Quick Turn 100MY cost?

New QT-100MY machines start around $80,000-$100,000 for base configuration with Y-axis and live tooling. Adding sub spindle, high-pressure coolant, chip conveyor, and bar feeder interface brings the price to $115,000-$135,000. Used units from 2015-2022 trade between $40,000 and $80,000.

02 What is the difference between the Quick Turn 100MY and the QT-COMPACT 100MY?

The Quick Turn 100MY is built on the full-size Quick Turn platform with more mass (3,200 kg vs 2,400 kg), more machining length (300 mm vs 160 mm), larger bar capacity (42 mm vs 26 mm), and the SmoothG control versus SmoothEz. The QT-COMPACT 100MY is smaller and less expensive but trades rigidity and work envelope.

03 Does the Quick Turn 100MY support a sub spindle?

Yes, the QT-100MSY configuration adds a sub spindle for back-working operations. The sub spindle typically provides 5,000 RPM with a smaller chuck for done-in-one processing. Adding the sub spindle adds approximately $20,000-$35,000 to the price.

04 What control does the Quick Turn 100MY use?

Current-generation Quick Turn 100MY machines ship with MAZATROL SmoothG, Mazak's mid-range CNC with faster processing speed, advanced tool path optimization, and a comprehensive conversational programming interface. This is a step up from the SmoothEz found on compact and economy models.
