How much does the Feeler VFP-1300 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Feeler VFP-1300 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
Largest of the three VFP models, the Feeler VFP-1300 carries 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) on a 1,420 x 600 mm (55.9 x 23.6 in) table. Travels are 1,300 mm (51.2 in) in X, 610 mm (24.0 in) in Y and 560 mm (22.0 in) in Z.
Its rapid rates are different on each horizontal axis, which is uncommon. Feeler's table gives 32 m/min (1,260 ipm) for X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) for both Y and Z. On the two smaller VFP models X and Y match. Since the values are printed that way, plan cycle times on the lower Y figure.
Tool capacity is printed as 22 (24), which fits the series description of a 22 or 24-station arm-type magazine as standard, with 30 stations optional and tool change times as fast as 1.7 seconds. The spindle is 10,000 rpm on a 7/24 No.40 taper. Feeler lists a belt-driven spindle as standard and a direct-drive spindle as an option, with speeds up to 15,000 rpm.
The VFP layout puts linear guides on X and Y and a box way on Z. On a machine carrying a tonne and a half, that means the heavy table still moves on low-friction guides while the spindle head, which sees the cutting thrust, slides on a damped way. It is a sensible arrangement for mold bases and plate work with a lot of drilling. Compared with the VMX-1300, the VFP-1300 has less Z, at 560 mm against 600 mm, and a lower spindle speed as standard.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) table load with 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of X travel
- Box way Z axis and linear guides on X and Y, per Feeler
- Optional direct-drive spindle, with speeds up to 15,000 rpm quoted for the series
- Arm-type magazine with tool change times as fast as 1.7 seconds
- 610 mm of Y travel over a 600 mm deep table
Limitations
- Y rapid is 24 m/min (945 ipm), lower than the 32 m/min of X
- Z travel of 560 mm (22.0 in) is less than the 600 mm of the VMX-1300
- Tool capacity of 22 (24) unless the optional 30-station magazine is ordered
- Standard spindle is 10,000 rpm and its power is not published

Frequently Asked Questions
01
1,300 x 610 x 560 mm (51.2 x 24.0 x 22.0 in), with a 1,420 x 600 mm (55.9 x 23.6 in) table rated for 1,500 kg (3,307 lb).
02
Feeler's table prints 32 m/min for X and 24 m/min for Y and for Z on the VFP-1300, without comment. The smaller VFP-1000 lists 36 m/min on both X and Y. Confirm the Y figure with the maker if positioning time is critical.
03
The table prints 22 (24). Feeler's series text says the machines come standard with a 22 or 24-station arm-type tool magazine, with 30 stations optional, and tool change times as fast as 1.7 seconds.
04
With the optional spindle, according to Feeler: spindle configurations include a standard belt-driven spindle and an optional direct-drive spindle, reaching speeds up to 15,000 rpm. The table value for this model is 10,000 rpm.
