CNC Vertical Machining Centers

Used Fadal VMC 4020: Sell or Buy at Auction

Fadal is an American CNC vertical machining center brand: hugely popular in the North American job shop market through the 1980s and 1990s. Fadal VMCs are known for their rugged construction, the Fadal CNC 88HS and 32MP control systems, and exceptional longevity. Thousands of Fadal machines remain in active production use, creating a large and active used market.

The Fadal VMC 4020 is a mid-size three-axis vertical machining center with 40 inches of X travel and 20 inches of Y travel, a worktable of roughly 51 by 20 inches, and about 20 inches of Z-axis travel. That puts it a full size class above Fadal's compact VMC 3016, with more table and X-Y reach for larger fixtures and multi-part setups. It runs a CAT-40 spindle, commonly rated to 10,000 RPM, and a Fadal CNC control, typically the earlier 88HS or the later 32MP, feeding from an automatic tool changer that on most builds holds around 21 tools. Buyers for a used Fadal VMC 4020 are usually toolrooms and general job shops that have outgrown a compact Fadal but do not need the footprint or cost of a large mold-and-die machine. They come for the 4020's broad parts availability, familiar Fadal control, and straightforward maintenance. KD Auctions puts each VMC 4020 in front of 500,000+ industry contacts, reaching the mid-size shops actively bidding on this class of Fadal capacity.
