Alarsis has built more than 2500 machines in Spain since 2005, and the FR 150 is the entry point of the FR range: an economical desktop mill for professionals who need real production, not toy mechanics. The useful work area spans 840 x 440 mm with 100 mm of height under the bridge, inside a 1090 x 550 mm aluminium footprint with ribbed table. HTD3M belt drives turn 30 kg/cm stepper motors over self-lubricating recirculating ball guides at up to 20 m/min, holding 0.02 mm resolution.

What can a 1050 W spindle actually mill?

The standard Kress 1050 W milling motor - a 1.5 HP brushless head is optional - covers sign making, model making, prototypes, scenography and light carpentry in wood, plastics and soft metals. A probe sets the Z zero, a laser pointer verifies X and Y datums, and the integrated chip suction keeps acrylic edges clean. TexComputer CNC control with touch screen keeps programming short, and ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certification plus a two-year warranty back the hardware.

Desktop format or full-size router?

Against 6040-class import routers and entry kits from Stepcraft, the FR 150 argues with industrial wiring, class 6 cabling and sealed guides rather than raw power. When work outgrows the 440 mm width, Alarsis steps the same FR platform up through FR 180 and FR 210 to the 3D foam-modelling variants, so fixtures, jigs and workflow carry over instead of being rebuilt.
