Mazak FH-6800
Manufacturer specifications, what it is built to do, the years we have seen them listed, what tooling fits, and what to check on one. MTE also buys them outright.
What the Mazak FH-6800 is
The Mazak FH-6800 is a CNC horizontal machining center — a machine for production milling with a horizontal spindle and pallet changer, so one pallet runs while the next is being loaded — chips fall clear and the machine runs unattended. The manufacturer publishes a pallet size of 24.8″ x 24.8″. This one is specified with a pallet changer: one pallet runs while the next is loaded.
What it is built to do
From the figures the manufacturer publishes, a Mazak FH-6800 suits:
- one 24.8″ x 24.8″ pallet cutting while the next is loaded

What fits a Mazak FH-6800
Each of these follows from a published specification above, which is named beside it.
Pallets and fixturing
Fixtures, tombstones and spare pallets are cut for a pallet of this size and do not transfer to another machine. On a horizontal they are a large share of what is being sold, so count them before quoting.

What years the Mazak FH-6800 was built
Across the units we have tracked, build years run from 2002 to 2006. Observed across 25 marketplaces, not a manufacturer build record. The manufacturer specifies Mazatrol Fusion 640M, so a unit on an older control is an early one or a retrofit.
Mazak FH-6800 machines on the market now
We track listings across 25 used-machinery marketplaces, and every competitor in this market is one of them, so this is a view none of them can produce for themselves. Right now there are 4 units of this exact designation on the market, drawn from 4 independent sources, spanning model years 2002 to 2006. That is a thin market for this designation, which usually works in a seller’s favor.
We count only listings whose model is spelled as this machine’s own designation. Near spellings that may be a different variant are excluded rather than counted, so this is a floor on what is out there, not a total.
What to check on a Mazak FH-6800
The same list whichever side of the deal you are on.
- Control generation. The manufacturer specifies Mazatrol Fusion 640M for this model. The control is often the single biggest swing on two otherwise identical machines, because it decides which buyers can use it at all.
- Spindle hours and condition. Most controls show run hours on a maintenance or diagnostics screen. It is the first number anyone asks for, so find it before the conversation rather than during it.
- Tooling and accessories. Holders, chucks, steady rests, probing and automation attachments travel with the machine, and they are worth real money separately from it.
- The pallet changer, through a full cycle. A pallet changer that hesitates is the first thing a buyer will find.
- How many pallets and fixtures come with it. On an HMC this is a large part of the number.
- B-axis table condition and backlash, and the chip conveyor, which on a horizontal does real work.
- Power and rigging access. How the machine comes out of the building is a real cost, and it is one MTE absorbs, so an accessible machine is worth more to us.
