How much does the Feeler FDM-6235 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Feeler FDM-6235 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
The Feeler FDM-6235 has the largest table in the FDM series short of the seven- and eight-metre models: 6,000 × 3,000 mm (236.2 × 118.1 in). X travel is 6,200 mm (244.1 in) and Y travel 3,400 mm (133.9 in).
Its load row, 27 (30) ton, is worth comparing with the next size. The FDM-7235 is a metre longer and carries exactly the same: 27 ton listed, 30 ton in brackets. In the 35 group, then, capacity stops rising at this length, and the extra metre of the larger machine brings reach rather than weight. A buyer whose heaviest mould fits six metres gains nothing in load by going longer.
Precision over a table this size depends on the structure staying still. Feeler describes a cast iron structure with a box-type base and reinforced rib design, combined with the four-rail table layout, as delivering rigidity and vibration resistance for long-term high-precision machining. No positioning or repeatability figure is published to put a number on it, so acceptance tolerances should be agreed in the contract.
X and Z rapid at 12 m/min (472 ipm) and Y at 15 m/min (591 ipm). Listed spindle: 6,000 rpm, BT/DIN/CAT 50. Bracketed: 4,000-8,000 rpm, #40, 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of Y, 1,000-1,400 mm of Z in place of 800 mm (31.5 in), and 32-90 tools in place of 24.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Table of 6,000 × 3,000 mm (236.2 × 118.1 in) for the largest mould bases
- 27 ton listed load, equal to the longer FDM-7235
- 3,400 mm (133.9 in) of Y travel, 4,000 mm (157.5 in) bracketed
- Cast iron box-type base with reinforced ribs
Limitations
- X rapid is 12 m/min (472 ipm), against 15 m/min on the FDM-5235
- No positioning accuracy or repeatability published
- Listed Z travel of 800 mm (31.5 in) is short for a table this large

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yes. Both columns read 27 (30) ton. The FDM-7235 adds a metre of X travel and table length, 7,200 mm and 7,000 mm against 6,200 mm and 6,000 mm, without a higher load figure.
02
Feeler publishes no positioning accuracy or repeatability for the FDM series on this page. The maker speaks of long-term high-precision machining and of minimal backlash on the longer rack-driven models. Agree the acceptance values in writing.
03
X travel 6,200 mm (244.1 in), Y travel 3,400 mm (133.9 in) or the bracketed 4,000 mm, and Z travel 800 mm (31.5 in) or the bracketed 1,000-1,400 mm. The table is 6,000 mm long and 3,000 mm wide.
04
A 6,000 rpm spindle on BT/DIN/CAT 50 and a 24-tool magazine as listed. The bracketed alternatives are 4,000-8,000 rpm, #40 and 32-90 tools.
