How much does the Feeler VBX-1900 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Feeler VBX-1900 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 VBX-1900 is the one VBX model listed with a No.50 spindle and nothing else. Its header reads VBX-1900 (#50), the taper is 7/24 No.50 and the speed is 4,000 rpm. Travels are 1,900 mm (74.8 in) in X, 860 mm (33.9 in) in Y and 800 mm (31.5 in) in Z.
That makes its role plain. This is a large box way mill for slow, heavy metal removal: face milling plates with big cutters, drilling and boring large holes, roughing forgings and castings. Small end mills are outside its range, because 4,000 rpm cannot give them a useful cutting speed.
The table is 2,100 x 860 mm (82.7 x 33.9 in) and takes 2,200 kg (4,850 lb). Y travel equals the table depth. The magazine holds 32 tools, eight more than the smaller VBX models, which helps because 50-taper jobs on large parts tend to need several long boring and drilling tools kept ready.
Movement is deliberate. Rapids are 15 m/min (591 ipm) on X and Y and 12 m/min (472 ipm) on Z, the lowest step in the series and shared with the VBX-2200. Feeler describes the series as built for heavy duty cutting, with extra-wide box ways on all three axes, Turcite B coated guideways and a Meehanite cast iron body that holds dimensional stability under continuous operation. Have the maker supply spindle torque and the gear arrangement, neither of which appears in the table.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A 7/24 Taper No.50 spindle at 4,000 rpm. Unlike the other VBX models, whose columns are headed #40/50, the VBX-1900 column is headed #50 only. Torque and power are not stated on the page.
02
Travels are 1,900 x 860 x 800 mm (74.8 x 33.9 x 31.5 in). The table is 2,100 x 860 mm (82.7 x 33.9 in) with a maximum loading weight of 2,200 kg (4,850 lb).
03
32 tools. The four smaller VBX models hold 24. Maximum tool diameter, length and weight are not in the table and should be checked for large 50-taper face mills and boring bars.
04
The VBX-2200 is longer and deeper, with 2,200 x 960 x 800 mm travels, a 2,400 x 960 mm table and 2,700 kg of load. Rapid rates and the 32-tool magazine are the same. The VBX-2200 column is headed #40/50.
