How much does the Feeler FT-350(MC) cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Feeler FT-350(MC) 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 FT-350(MC) is a 12 in (305 mm) chuck box way lathe for heavy turning, with a maximum turning diameter of 620 mm (24.4 in) and a turning length of 1,060 mm (41.7 in). Feeler says the FT-350 emphasizes heavy cutting and stability.
The diameter figure is the one that sets it apart from the FT-250(MC), which has nearly the same length. X travel is printed as 310+20 mm, enough to face a large flange or turn a brake-drum sized part, and the bar capacity of 91 mm (3.6 in) through a 102 mm bore handles heavy bar and tube.
The spindle nose is A2-8 and the top speed 3,300 rpm. The maker describes sleeve-type spindles and mentions optional A2-8 or A2-11 spindles; the A2-11 version appears in the table as the separate FT-350AL(MC), with a larger bore and lower speed. The tailstock has an MT-5 taper, and Feeler notes strong Z-axis and tailstock guide supports on an FEA-optimized base. That matters at this size, because a long heavy shaft pushes hard against the tailstock during roughing.
The turret is BMT65-12, and the MC in the name marks the driven-tool version. Operator-side details in the text include a cantilever-style control panel and a fully enclosed electrical cabinet that keeps dust and coolant out. Missing from the page are motor power, torque and rapid rates. For a lathe bought to remove metal quickly, ask for the torque at low speed and whether a gearbox is fitted.
