Overview
The Mazak QUICK TURN 100MY is a compact CNC turning center with Y-axis milling capability, designed for shops machining small precision parts that need cross-drilling, flat milling, and off-center features completed in a single setup. The 100MY sits at the entry point of the full-size Quick Turn lineup, offering genuine BMT live tooling and Y-axis travel in a platform small enough for tight shop layouts.
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. That combination of speed and moderate power covers aluminum, brass, mild steel, and stainless without issue. The 12-station BMT turret accepts live tools running at 6,000 RPM with 3.7 kW (5 hp) of milling power, and the Y-axis provides 100 mm of off-center travel for features that do not fall on the part centerline.
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 on X, 100 mm on Y, and 405 mm on Z. Rapid traverse rates hit 30 m/min on both X and Z axes. The machine weighs approximately 3,200 kg (7,055 lb), giving it the mass and rigidity advantage over the lighter QT-COMPACT and QTE economy platforms.
MAZATROL SmoothG runs the control side, a step above the SmoothEz found on economy models. The SmoothG provides faster processing speeds, better tool path optimization, and more capable conversational cycles for mill-turn programming. Shops can program in MAZATROL conversational mode for quick jobs or post from CAM in EIA/ISO G-code for complex geometry.
The QT-100MY competes with the Nakamura-Tome SC-100MY, Doosan Lynx 2100LY, and Haas ST-10Y. It costs more than the Haas but delivers substantially better milling rigidity with BMT tooling and a more powerful live tool spindle. For shops producing precision medical, aerospace, or electronic components under 8-inch diameter, the QT-100MY is a solid platform that balances capability against footprint.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Full Quick Turn platform rigidity in a small-chuck machine delivers tighter tolerances and better surface finishes than compact or economy alternatives
- 100 mm Y-axis travel matches the larger QT-200MY, providing generous off-center milling capability for hex features, bolt patterns, and eccentric holes
- MAZATROL SmoothG control provides faster processing and more advanced mill-turn cycles than the SmoothEz found on economy models
- BMT live tooling with 3.7 kW at 6,000 RPM delivers meaningful milling rigidity and power for cross-drilling, tapping, and moderate contouring
- 30 m/min rapids on X and Z axes minimize non-cutting time in production cycles with frequent tool changes
- Compact footprint keeps floor space requirements manageable while still delivering full-size Quick Turn build quality
Limitations
- 42 mm bar capacity limits through-spindle bar feeding to 1.65-inch stock; shops running 2-inch or larger bar need the QT-200 platform
- 11 kW spindle power is moderate for heavy roughing in stainless and exotic alloys at larger diameters within the work envelope
- Higher price than the QTE-100MY economy alternative for a comparable work envelope; the premium buys rigidity and SmoothG
- 300 mm maximum machining length restricts the machine to parts under 12 inches long

Frequently Asked Questions
01
New pricing runs $80,000-$135,000 depending on options. Adding high-pressure coolant, chip conveyor, parts catcher, and bar feeder interface pushes the price toward the upper end. Used units from 2016-2022 trade between $40,000 and $80,000 depending on hours and condition.
02
The QT-100MY is the full-size Quick Turn with BMT tooling, SmoothG control, 30 m/min rapids, and heavier construction. The QTE-100MY is the economy version with slower live tools (4,500 RPM), SmoothEz control, and lighter build. The QT costs $15,000-$35,000 more but delivers better milling rigidity and accuracy.
03
Yes. The 11 kW spindle handles stainless steel turning at moderate feeds without issue. Titanium is manageable at conservative parameters within the machine's diameter range. For heavy roughing in exotics, shops may prefer the more powerful QT-200MY.
04
The QT-100MY accepts standard bar feeders from LNS, Iemca, FMB, and Edge Technologies. The 42 mm bar capacity determines the feeder size needed. LNS Quick Load Servo 42 and Iemca BOSS 332-E are popular pairings. Budget $12,000-$25,000 for a quality bar feeder.
