4-axis machine tools with basic features range from $100,000 to $300,000, and models that support 4-axis linkage can reach up to $300,000 to $700,000.
The price range for 5-axis machine tools is quite large, with entry-level models made in China costing around $450,000 to $850,000, while high-end German or Japanese models can require $1,200,000 to $3,000,000.
6-axis machine tools are currently the top configuration, with basic models ranging from $1,200,000 to $3,500,000, and some specially customized models can exceed $7,000,000.
High-end multi-axis machine tools often mean stricter installation requirements, environmental control, higher consumable and maintenance costs, and the need for specialized software, special testing equipment, and skilled operators, which can often be more expensive than buying a machine itself.
