How much does the Feeler VUX-300 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Feeler VUX-300 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 VUX-300 is a small 5-axis machining center on a vertical frame: a φ210 mm tilting rotary table, a 12,000 rpm spindle with a 7/24 No.40 taper, and travels of 510 mm (20.1 in) in X, 420 mm (16.5 in) in Y and 395 mm (15.6 in) in Z. Feeler heads the series 4+1 axis and calls it a cost-effective entry into 5-axis machining.
That description is the right way to think about it. The machine is built for positioning the part at an angle and then cutting with three axes, with full contouring available when a surface needs it. For a shop that currently flips parts between vises to reach five sides, the gain is one clamping and no stack-up between setups.
Table load is given as 100/70 (H/V) kg: 100 kg with the table horizontal and 70 kg tilted to vertical. Always size the fixture and part against the lower number, because five-sided work spends much of its time tilted. The C axis turns 0~360°.
Feeler says the VUX-300, 400 and 500 have direct-drive spindles with oil cooling, with 15,000 rpm available as an option, and run on high-rigidity roller linear guides. The magazine here holds 20 tools, while the series text mentions capacity of up to 60 tools, so larger magazines exist as options. Rapids are 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on X and Y and 32 m/min (1,260 ipm) on Z. The tilt-axis range printed for this model in the maker's table is unclear and is left off this page; ask Feeler for it.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Five-sided machining in one clamping on a φ210 mm table
- 12,000 rpm direct-drive spindle with oil cooling; 15,000 rpm optional per Feeler
- No.40 taper on a compact 5-axis machine, so existing 40-taper holders can be used
- High-rigidity roller linear guides named for the model
- 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) rapids on X and Y
Limitations
- Table load falls to 70 kg with the table vertical
- 20 tools as listed; the larger magazines are options
- Z travel of 395 mm (15.6 in) is shared between part height and tool length
- The tilt range in the maker's table is ambiguous and rotary speeds are not given

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It is the heading Feeler gives the VUX series, described as a 4/5-axis structure for single setup, multi-face machining. In practice the tilting rotary table presents each face to the spindle, and the machine is offered as an entry into 5-axis work.
02
The table is φ210 mm. Maximum loading weight is 100/70 (H/V) kg, that is 100 kg horizontal and 70 kg vertical. The C axis rotates 0~360°.
03
510 x 420 x 395 mm (20.1 x 16.5 x 15.6 in). Rapid traverse is 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on X and Y and 32 m/min (1,260 ipm) on Z.
04
The VUX-300T is the mill-turn version: an HSK-A63 spindle interface, a φ200 mm table rated 75/75 (H/V) kg and 345 mm of Z travel. The VUX-300 has the 7/24 Taper No.40 spindle, a φ210 mm table and 395 mm of Z.
