How much does the Feeler FDM-5232 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Feeler FDM-5232 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
Feeler lists the FDM-5232 with 5,200 mm (204.7 in) of X travel, 3,100 mm (122.0 in) of Y and a 5,000 × 2,600 mm (196.9 × 102.4 in) table rated at 23 ton. Bracketed alternatives are 3,700 mm (145.7 in) of Y and 26 ton.
It is the middle of the middle: the third of five lengths in the second of three widths. That makes it a useful reference point for reading the FDM table as a whole. Moving down a width, the FDM-5228 has the same table and 18 (23) ton. Moving up, the FDM-5235 has a table 3,000 mm wide and 26 (29) ton. Each step across adds Y travel and load; only the last adds table.
For mould work the heavier rating is the practical gain. A five-metre steel mould half is dense, and the plates, parallels and clamps under it add to the total. Feeler's four-rail symmetrical table layout is described as giving wide load-bearing surfaces, and the structure as cast iron with a box-type base.
X and Y rapid at 15 m/min (591 ipm); this is the longest 32 model to do so on X. Z rapid is 12 m/min (472 ipm). Spindle: 6,000 rpm, BT/DIN/CAT 50, with 4,000-8,000 rpm and #40 bracketed. Z travel: 800 mm (31.5 in), with 1,000-1,400 mm bracketed. Tools: 24, with 32-90 bracketed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 23 ton listed load, 26 ton bracketed, on a 5,000 × 2,600 mm table
- 3,100 mm (122.0 in) of Y travel, with 3,700 mm (145.7 in) bracketed
- X rapid of 15 m/min (591 ipm), the longest model of its width with that rate
- Four-rail symmetrical table guideways for wide load-bearing surfaces
Limitations
- Table width stays at 2,600 mm; the 3,000 mm table needs the FDM-5235
- Spindle options end at 8,000 rpm
- No power, torque or accuracy data on the series page

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X travel 5,200 mm (204.7 in), Y travel 3,100 mm (122.0 in), Z travel 800 mm (31.5 in), table 5,000 × 2,600 mm (196.9 × 102.4 in), load 23 ton, spindle 6,000 rpm on a 50 taper, 24 tools. Most rows also carry a bracketed alternative.
02
All three have 5,200 mm of X travel. The FDM-5228 lists 2,700 (3,300) mm of Y and 18 (23) ton; the FDM-5235 lists 3,400 (4,000) mm of Y, a 3,000 mm wide table and 26 (29) ton. The FDM-5232 sits between them.
03
X rapid is 15 m/min (591 ipm). The next length, the FDM-6232, is listed at 12 m/min (472 ipm), so this is the longest model of the 32 group at the higher rate.
04
Feeler describes table guideways in an optimized four-rail symmetrical layout for wide load-bearing surfaces, on a cast iron box-type base with reinforced ribs. The guideway type and size are not stated.
