How much does the Mazak TURNING CENTER M-5 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 TURNING CENTER M-5 is a large-bore lathe for long shafts and pipe: a Ø181 mm (7.1 in) spindle bore and a 15 in chuck on a 2000U bed that turns Ø23 in (584 mm) by 76 in (1,930 mm). Top speed in this table is 1,000 rpm.
The bore is the reason to look at it. Bar capacity is Ø7 in (178 mm), and chuck work can weigh up to 9,480 lb (4,300 kg). The bore listed here matches the Ø7.13" size that Mazak's series description gives as the option above a Ø4.09" bore. That description quotes a 6 to 2200 rpm range through a 3 speed hydraulic gear shift, but the table on this page lists 1,000 rpm, so plan on that figure for a machine with this bore.
Spindle output is stated at an intermittent rating only: 22 kW (30 HP) at 40% ED, with 1,179 ft-lb (1,599 Nm) of torque at 40% ED. No continuous figure is given, which is worth raising with Mazak if the work involves long roughing passes.
Check the swing figures against the part. Maximum swing is Ø24 in (610 mm), but swing over the carriage is Ø13 in (330 mm), so a long part that the carriage has to pass under is limited to the smaller figure. The distance from spindle face to turret face runs from 5 in (127 mm) to 86 in (2,184 mm), and Z travel is 81 in (2,057 mm). Rapids are modest at 472 ipm (12 m/min) in X and 551 ipm (14 m/min) in Z. The tailstock has an MT No.5 taper and a 5 in (127 mm) stroke. The machine is 200 in (5,080 mm) × 102 in (2,591 mm) on the floor and weighs 14,771 lb (6,700 kg).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Ø181 mm (7.1 in) spindle bore with a Ø7 in (178 mm) bar capacity for pipe and long shafts
- 76 in (1,930 mm) maximum turning length on the 2000U bed, with 81 in (2,057 mm) of Z travel
- Chuck work up to 9,480 lb (4,300 kg)
- 1,179 ft-lb (1,599 Nm) of spindle torque at the 40% ED rating
- Mazak's series description lists 14 permanently set tools and a sand-filled, double-walled box bed for vibration absorption
Limitations
- Top speed is 1,000 rpm in this table, which limits surface speed on small diameters
- Spindle power is given only as 22 kW (30 HP) at 40% ED; the table states no continuous rating
- Rapids are 472 ipm (12 m/min) in X and 551 ipm (14 m/min) in Z, slow for short-cycle work
- Swing over the carriage is Ø13 in (330 mm), well under the Ø24 in (610 mm) maximum swing
- No rotary-tool or Y-axis rows in the table: this is a turning machine

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum turning diameter is Ø23 in (584 mm) and maximum turning length is 76 in (1,930 mm) on the 2000U bed. Maximum swing is Ø24 in (610 mm) and swing over the carriage is Ø13 in (330 mm). The chuck is a 15 in size, bar capacity is Ø7 in (178 mm), and chuck work can weigh up to 9,480 lb (4,300 kg).
02
The table gives 22 kW (30 HP) and 1,179 ft-lb (1,599 Nm), both at a 40% ED rating, with a top speed of 1,000 rpm. These are intermittent ratings. The table has no continuous power figure, so ask Mazak for it before comparing this machine with one rated continuously.
03
The 6 to 2200 rpm range, with full power from 178 rpm through a 3 speed hydraulic gear shift, is Mazak's statement about the series. The model table on this page is for a Ø181 mm (7.1 in) spindle bore, which matches the optional Ø7.13" bore of the series description, and it lists 1,000 rpm. Use the table figure for a machine with this bore.
04
Both have a bore of about the same size, but they are different machines. The SLANT TURN 500 has a Ø7 in (178 mm) bore, turns Ø36 in (914 mm), runs to 1,600 rpm, lists 41 in (1,041 mm) of turning length and weighs 30,423 lb (13,800 kg). This model turns Ø23 in (584 mm) by 76 in (1,930 mm) at up to 1,000 rpm and weighs 14,771 lb (6,700 kg): longer and narrower work on a much lighter machine.
05
The table lists an MT No.5 tailstock with a 5 in (127 mm) stroke. Mazak's description of the TURNING CENTER M-5 series adds 14 permanently set tools, a front octagonal disc turret with a 9.92" coupling and a tailstock with a 3.94" diameter quill and a maximum thrust of 14700 N (1500 kgf).
