How much does the Feeler QMP-40 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Feeler QMP-40 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
At 1,020 mm (40.2 in) of X travel the Feeler QMP-40 is the largest machine in the QMP series, and the only metre-class Feeler vertical with 48 m/min (1,890 ipm) rapids on X and Y. The VMX-1020 and VMP-40, which share its travels, both list 40 m/min.
On a long table that difference adds up. A fixture with parts spread across 1,150 mm, or two fixtures run pendulum-style, involves long X moves between every operation, and those moves are pure lost time. The QMP-40 is the model to look at when the parts are many and the cuts are short.
The remaining figures are those of a solid mid-size No.40 machine. Y travel is 520 mm (20.5 in) and Z is 505 mm (19.9 in). The table is 1,150 x 520 mm (45.3 x 20.5 in) and takes 800 kg (1,764 lb). The spindle is a 10,000 rpm belt type unit with a 7/24 No.40 taper, the magazine holds 24 tools, and Z rapids at 30 m/min (1,181 ipm).
Feeler presents the series as production equipment and names several ways to tailor it: a 20,000 rpm spindle for small-diameter tools and high-speed cutting, an ultrasonic cutting system for brittle or high-hardness materials, and an automatic pallet changer system. The spec table shows pallet-changer columns for the smaller sizes only, not for this model, so ask whether one is offered at this length.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Travels of 1,020 x 520 x 505 mm (40.2 x 20.5 x 19.9 in), a 1,150 x 520 mm table rated 800 kg (1,764 lb), a 10,000 rpm spindle with 7/24 Taper No.40, rapids of 48/48/30 m/min on X/Y/Z, and 24 tools.
02
The VMX-1020 has a 12,000 rpm direct-drive spindle, 560 mm of Z and X and Y rapids of 40 m/min. The QMP-40 has a 10,000 rpm belt type spindle, 505 mm of Z and 48 m/min on X and Y. Table size, load and tool count are the same.
03
Belt type. Feeler states that the QMP-32 and QMP-40 feature 10,000 rpm belt type spindles. The series page gives no power, torque or gear-ratio information.
04
Feeler says the QMP series can be equipped with an ultrasonic cutting system for brittle or high-hardness materials and with a 20,000 rpm spindle for small-diameter tools. Both are described as options for the series, not as part of the QMP-40 base machine.
