How much does the Mazak VARIAXIS i-800T cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Mazak VARIAXIS i-800T is the turning-capable 800 mm model of the VARIAXIS i series: a CAT No.50 5-axis machining center with a Ø31.50 in (800 mm) table, to which Mazak adds turning capability. Mazak lists turning on three models of the series, the i-700T, i-800T and i-1050T, for what it calls further process integration, so milled and turned features can be finished without moving the part to a lathe.
The table carries 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) and the maximum workpiece is Ø39.37 in (1,000 mm) × 14.76 in (375 mm). That wide, low envelope suits discs, rings, flanges and housings, which are also the parts that tend to need both a turned diameter and milled faces. The A-axis ranges from -130° to +30°, and the spindle nose sits between 9 in (229 mm) and 31 in (787 mm) from the table.
Milling power comes from a 10,000 rpm spindle rated 30 kW (40 HP) continuous and 37 kW (50 HP) at 40% ED, with 156 ft-lb (212 Nm) of continuous torque and 258 ft-lb (350 Nm) at 40% ED. The VARIAXIS i-800 NEO has the same power ratings with 176 ft-lb (239 Nm) continuous, and rapids of 1,890 ipm (48 m/min) against 1,654 ipm (42 m/min) on this machine. The turning function, not any gain in milling figures, is the reason to choose the T.
The magazine holds 30 tools of up to Ø5 in (127 mm), or Ø8 in (203 mm) with adjacent pockets empty, 16 in (406 mm) long and 44 lb (20 kg). The footprint is 106 in (2,692 mm) × 220 in (5,588 mm) with the MAZATROL SmoothAi control, the height 138 in (3,505 mm) and the weight 44,092 lb (20,000 kg). Mazak describes a 2-pallet changer and the PALLETECH system for the series.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Turning capability on a 5-axis machining center, one of three such models Mazak lists in the series (i-700T, i-800T, i-1050T)
- 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) table load and a maximum workpiece of Ø39.37 in (1,000 mm) × 14.76 in (375 mm)
- CAT No.50 spindle: 30 kW (40 HP) continuous, 156 ft-lb (212 Nm) continuous, and 258 ft-lb (350 Nm) at 40% ED
- Tools up to 44 lb (20 kg) and 16 in (406 mm) long, and Ø8 in (203 mm) with adjacent pockets empty
- Full gantry construction without overhang, as Mazak describes for the series
Limitations
- Workpiece height is limited to 14.76 in (375 mm); the VARIAXIS i-800 NEO allows 16.34 in (415 mm)
- Continuous torque of 156 ft-lb (212 Nm) is below the 176 ft-lb (239 Nm) continuous of the VARIAXIS i-800 NEO
- Mazak's table gives no turning speed or turning torque for the table, so turning capacity has to be confirmed separately
- Mazak marks the MPP (MULTI PALLET POOL) as compatible with the VARIAXIS i-700T only

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Turning. Mazak lists turning capability for further process integration on three models of the VARIAXIS i series: the i-700T, i-800T and i-1050T. The model group for this machine on Mazak's series page is headed as CAT No.40 / CAT No.50 with turning.
02
The T adds turning capability. In milling terms the VARIAXIS i-800 NEO has more continuous torque, 176 ft-lb (239 Nm) continuous against 156 ft-lb (212 Nm), faster rapids at 1,890 ipm (48 m/min) against 1,654 ipm (42 m/min), and a taller workpiece at 16.34 in (415 mm) against 14.76 in (375 mm). Table load is 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) on both the VARIAXIS i-800 NEO and this machine.
03
Ø39.37 in (1,000 mm) in diameter by 14.76 in (375 mm) in height, with up to 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) on the Ø31.50 in (800 mm) table. The spindle nose can be positioned between 9 in (229 mm) and 31 in (787 mm) from the table.
04
The CAT No.50 milling spindle reaches 10,000 rpm. It is rated 30 kW (40 HP) continuous and 37 kW (50 HP) at 40% ED, with torque of 156 ft-lb (212 Nm) continuous and 258 ft-lb (350 Nm) at 40% ED. Mazak's table does not give separate figures for the turning function.
05
The footprint is 106 in (2,692 mm) wide by 220 in (5,588 mm) long with the MAZATROL SmoothAi control, and the machine stands 138 in (3,505 mm) high. It weighs 44,092 lb (20,000 kg), which needs to be allowed for in the floor and in the rigging plan.
