How much does the Feeler VMP-50 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Feeler VMP-50 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
A 1,420 x 600 mm (55.9 x 23.6 in) table rated for 1,500 kg (3,307 lb), 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of X travel and the option of a No.50 spindle: the Feeler VMP-50 is the VMP series' machine for long, heavy steel parts. Y travel is 610 mm (24.0 in) and Z is 600 mm (23.6 in).
Like the VMP-45, it is listed with a 7/24 taper in No.40 or No.50, a spindle speed of 10,000/4,000 rpm and a tool capacity of 22/24. Read in order, that gives a 10,000 rpm No.40 version with 22 tools and a 4,000 rpm No.50 version with 24. Feeler's page does not label the pairs, so have the configuration written into the offer.
How should the two be weighed on a machine this long? Parts that fill a 1,300 mm stroke are often plates, rails, mold bases and fabricated frames, where large-diameter face mills and long boring tools do most of the metal removal. That is 50-taper territory, and 4,000 rpm is adequate for it. A shop cutting mostly aluminium or finishing with small ball-nose tools is better served by the No.40 spindle, or by the VMX-1300, which lists 12,000 rpm on the same travels.
Rapid traverse is 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on X and Y and 24 m/min (945 ipm) on Z. The series is described by Feeler as a high-rigidity cast iron design with hardened linear guides and Turcite B wear pads, meant to stay accurate through extended operation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of X travel with a 1,420 x 600 mm table
- No.40 or No.50 spindle taper listed for the same frame
- 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) maximum table load
- 610 mm of Y and 600 mm of Z travel
- Hardened linear guides with Turcite B wear pads named for the series
Limitations
- The 4,000 rpm figure limits the second spindle to large tools
- Tool capacity is 22/24, which long programs on large parts can exhaust
- Z rapid of 24 m/min (945 ipm) is two-thirds of the X and Y rate
- Which speed and tool count belong to which taper is not labelled in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table header is VMP-50 (#40/50) with a 7/24 Taper No.40/No.50. Spindle speed is given as 10,000/4,000 rpm. The order suggests 10,000 rpm for No.40 and 4,000 rpm for No.50, but the page does not state it, and no power or torque is published.
02
1,420 x 600 mm (55.9 x 23.6 in) with a maximum loading weight of 1,500 kg (3,307 lb). Travels are 1,300 x 610 x 600 mm, so Y covers the table depth and X stops short of the table ends.
03
The VMP-65, with 1,650 x 800 x 800 mm travels and a 1,700 x 800 mm table at the same 1,500 kg rating. The VMP-65 is listed with a No.40 taper at 10,000 rpm and 22 tools only, so the No.50 option ends with the VMP-50.
04
36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on X and Y, and 24 m/min (945 ipm) on Z. Feeler's series text gives a range of 24–48 m/min for the VMP family; the top of that range is not reached by any axis in this model's column.
