Haas Automation GM-2 in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Haas GM-2

How much does the Haas GM-2 cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$289,995 for the Haas GM-2 (verified 2026-10-02). Options, tooling, freight and installation are extra, so a dealer quote will differ. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/haas-gm-2#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

What is the difference between the GM-2 and the GM-1XT?

Width, height and X speed. The GM-1XT has 142 × 61 × 16 in (3,607 × 1,549 × 406 mm) of travel and a 144 × 53 in (3,658 × 1,346 mm) table. The GM-2 has 145 × 87.5 × 22 in (3,683 × 2,223 × 559 mm) and a 144 × 72 in (3,658 × 1,829 mm) table. The GM-1XT is faster along X at 800 ipm (20.3 m/min), where the GM-2 is limited to 472 ipm (12 m/min). Both carry the 30 hp (22.4 kW), 8,100 rpm spindle and a 6,000 lb (2,722 kg) table load.

Is there a 5-axis version of the GM-2?

Yes, Haas lists it as a separate model. The GM-2-5AX has the same 145 in (3,683 mm) X and 87.5 in (2,223 mm) Y travels and the same table size, with 39.3 in (998 mm) of Z, a 16 hp (12 kW), 20,000 rpm spindle and B-axis travel of +120° to -120°. The GM-2 on this page is a 3-axis machine with a 30 hp (22.4 kW), 8,100 rpm spindle.

How are chips handled on the GM-2?

Haas's feature list names augers for chip removal, and the coolant tank holds 95 gal (360 L). The list does not say whether the augers are standard or an option, so confirm that when you configure the machine.

How heavy a workpiece can the GM-2 take?

The table is rated for 6,000 lb (2,722 kg). It measures 144 × 72 in (3,658 × 1,829 mm) and is 1 in (25 mm) thick. Haas lists 75 in (1,905 mm) between the columns, so check the width of the part and its fixture against that figure as well as against the table.

What does the GM-2 need on site?

Power is 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC at 35 A, and air demand is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar). The machine ships at 20,200 lb (9,190 kg) on a domestic pallet of 226 × 143 × 109 in (574 × 363 × 277 cm). Those are shipping figures, not the installed floor space.
