How much does the Gleason Phoenix 600HC cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc gear cutting machine in this class — not a quote from Gleason. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Gleason Phoenix 600HC is a bevel gear cutting machine with a 600 mm maximum workpiece diameter and a Fanuc 30i control. Its cutter capacity is stated separately for the two cutting processes: an 18" maximum cutter diameter for face milling (FM) and a 210 mm maximum cutter radius for face hobbing (FH).
Those two cutter rows need careful reading, because Gleason gives one as a diameter in inches and the other as a radius in millimetres. They are quoted here as published and are not converted. A shop that owns cutter heads for both processes should check each head against the row for its own process, the 18" figure for face milling heads and the 210 mm radius for face hobbing heads, instead of treating either number as a general tool limit.
On the workpiece side, 600 mm is the largest diameter the machine accepts, and the range of tooth numbers is 1-300. That range is wide, so cutter size and blank diameter decide whether a given gear set can run here long before tooth count does.
The published table is short. Spindle power, axis speeds, machine weight and floor space are not in it, so ask Gleason for those before planning the power supply, foundation or rigging.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Covers both face milling and face hobbing, with an 18" maximum cutter diameter (FM) and a 210 mm maximum cutter radius (FH)
- Accepts workpieces up to 600 mm in diameter
- Range of tooth numbers of 1-300, so tooth count rarely rules a part out
- Fanuc 30i control, as stated on Gleason's page for the model
Limitations
- Workpiece diameter is limited to 600 mm; larger ring gears do not fit
- Cutter limits differ by process and are stated in different terms (18" diameter for FM, 210 mm radius for FH), so each cutter head must be checked against its own row
- No spindle power, weight or floor-space figures are published in the table for this model

Frequently Asked Questions
01
600 mm. That is the only workpiece dimension Gleason's table gives for the model; face width, module and workpiece weight limits are not listed there, so confirm them with Gleason for a part that is close to the diameter limit.
02
It depends on the process. For face milling (FM) the maximum cutter diameter is 18". For face hobbing (FH) the limit is given as a maximum cutter radius of 210 mm. One figure is a diameter in inches and the other a radius in millimetres, so compare each cutter head with the row for the process it is used in.
03
Gleason lists a Fanuc 30i control for the Phoenix 600HC. The table names the control only. It does not list software packages or options, so ask Gleason which gear-cutting software functions are included on a quoted machine.
