2000 Fadal VMC-5020AHT CNC Vertical Mill

The 2000 Fadal VMC-5020AHT CNC Vertical Mill is a robust 3-axis platform with extended capabilities, thanks to the inclusion of a 4th axis rotary system with tailstock and a 10-inch chuck. It offers a 40 inch by 20 inch table, with equal X and Y-axis travels of 40 inch and 20 inch respectively, accompanied by a Z-axis travel of 20 inch. Its spindle delivers up to 10000 RPM from a 20 horsepower motor and features a CT40 taper, ideal for general-purpose and light production machining. Tool changes are managed via a 21-position umbrella-style automatic tool changer, with reliable control through the Fadal CNC 88HS system.

Compared to earlier Fadal units or basic entry-level mills, this machine brings both horsepower and versatility with its integrated 4th axis—offering extended workholding options not found in simpler 3-axis systems. Its solid table dimensions and respectable rapid rates allow it to handle medium-sized parts with confidence, while the 10000 RPM spindle gives it enough surface speed for aluminum, mild steel, and some tool steels.
