How much does the Mazak QT-350MY cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Mazak Quick Turn 350MY is a 12 in chuck turning center with milling and a Y-axis, given on Mazak's model list as Milling, Y-axis, VDI. In the 650U bed length it turns up to Ø420 mm, with 690 mm of Z travel, 270 mm of X and 150 mm of Y. The main spindle runs to 3,300 rpm and is rated 22 kW continuous and 30 kW at 40% ED, with 808 Nm (596 ft-lb) of torque (15%ED).
Those spindle figures describe a machine biased toward torque over speed. A ceiling of 3,300 rpm with 808 Nm behind it suits heavy cuts in steel at diameters near the top of the envelope, and leaves small-diameter work short of surface speed. Bar capacity is Ø80 mm and chuck work is limited to 650 kg. Mazak also gives a standard finished diameter of Ø336 mm, well below the Ø420 mm maximum, so size everyday work to the smaller figure. The distance from spindle face to turret face runs from 138 mm to 823 mm.
The milling side is specified in unusual detail. The rotary tool spindle reaches 5,000 rpm with 5.5 kW continuous, 7.5 kW at 40% ED and a maximum torque of 95 Nm (70 ft-lb) at 10% ED. Mazak states its capability as a Ø25 mm drill, a Ø25 mm end mill and an M24 × 3.0 tap, which tells you plainly that the live tools are for drilling, tapping and moderate milling, not for hogging. The turret is a drum with 12 positions (VDI), taking 25 mm shank tools and Ø50 mm boring bars.
Rapids are 30,000 mm/min in X, 33,000 mm/min in Z and 15,000 mm/min in Y, and the C-axis turns at 555 rpm. The tailstock has 645 mm of travel and an MT No.5 taper. On the floor the machine occupies 2,100 mm × 3,355 mm (W × L, with MAZATROL SmoothG), stands 2,175 mm high and weighs 9,000 kg.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Main spindle torque of 808 Nm (596 ft-lb) (15%ED), with 22 kW continuous and 30 kW at 40% ED
- Y-axis travel of 150 mm on a Ø420 mm turning diameter
- Rotary tool spindle with 5,000 rpm, 5.5 kW continuous and 95 Nm (70 ft-lb) maximum torque at 10% ED
- Tailstock with 645 mm of travel and an MT No.5 taper is in Mazak's table
- Rapid traverse of 30,000 mm/min in X and 33,000 mm/min in Z
- Bar capacity of Ø80 mm and a 650 kg limit for chuck work
Limitations
- Spindle speed stops at 3,300 rpm, which limits surface speed on small diameters
- Standard finished diameter is Ø336 mm, less than the Ø420 mm maximum turning diameter
- Live-tool capability is stated as a Ø25 mm drill, Ø25 mm end mill and M24 × 3.0 tap; heavier milling is outside it
- Y-axis rapid is 15,000 mm/min, half the 30,000 mm/min of X
- No second spindle in Mazak's configuration of the 350MY

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The main spindle is rated 22 kW continuous and 30 kW at 40% ED, with 808 Nm (596 ft-lb) of torque (15%ED) and a 3,300 rpm maximum. The rotary tool spindle is rated 5.5 kW continuous and 7.5 kW at 40% ED, with 95 Nm (70 ft-lb) at 10% ED and 5,000 rpm. Use the continuous figures for long cuts and the short-duty figures only for brief ones.
02
Mazak lists a maximum weight of 650 kg for chuck work. The same table carries a second load row of 1000 kg without saying which setup it applies to. Plan chucked parts to the 650 kg figure and ask Mazak what the higher figure covers before relying on it.
03
Mazak states the milling capability of the rotary tool spindle as a Ø25 mm drill, a Ø25 mm end mill and an M24 × 3.0 tap. Behind that are 5,000 rpm, 5.5 kW continuous and 95 Nm (70 ft-lb) of maximum torque at 10% ED. With 150 mm of Y travel those tools can reach features well off the centreline.
04
The footprint is 2,100 mm × 3,355 mm (W × L) with the MAZATROL SmoothG control, the height is 2,175 mm and the weight is 9,000 kg. Those are the machine's own dimensions; allow extra for the chip conveyor, bar feeder and door access when laying out the cell.
05
A drum turret with 12 positions and a VDI interface, holding 12 tools. Turning tools have a 25 mm shank height and boring bars a Ø50 mm shank diameter. Mazak's series page lists the same Ø50 boring bar and 25 mm shank for the 12-inch chuck group.
06
Within limits. Z travel is 690 mm and the tailstock travels 645 mm on an MT No.5 taper, while the spindle face to turret face distance runs from 138 mm to 823 mm. That covers medium-length shafts up to Ø420 mm; the table gives no maximum turning length figure, so confirm the length for your chuck and centre.
