Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$892,995 for the Haas HDC-3 (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-hdc-3#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
The table is 150 × 64 in (3,810 × 1,626 mm) and takes 10,000 lb (4,536 kg). Travels are 150 in (3,810 mm) in X, 106 in (2,692 mm) in Y and 39 in (991 mm) in Z. Haas lists 73.5 in (1,867 mm) between the columns and 51 in (1,295 mm) from table to bridge, so check part width and height against those two figures as well as the travels.
The HDC-3-5AX adds B and C axes, with B travel of ±120° and C travel of +245° to -245°. The HDC-3-5AX has 43 in (1,092 mm) of Z, a 153 × 49 in (3,886 × 1,245 mm) table, and an HSK-A100 spindle rated 6,000 rpm and 110 ft-lbf (149 N·m) at 3,000 rpm. The HDC-3 is the 3-axis machine: CT or BT 50, 7,500 rpm, 170 ft-lbf (230 N·m) at 1,800 rpm and a 150 × 64 in (3,810 × 1,626 mm) table.
Both are 50-taper spindles with a 7,500 rpm top speed. The HDC-3 is rated 60 hp (44.7 kW) and 170 ft-lbf (230 N·m) at 1,800 rpm. The VF-12/50 is rated 30 hp (22.4 kW) and 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm. The HDC-3 therefore has more power at speed, while the VF-12/50 figure is higher for slow, heavy cuts.
The side-mount changer holds 50+1 tools in CT or BT 50. Each tool can weigh up to 30 lb (13.6 kg) and measure up to 16 in (406 mm) in length. Diameter is limited to 4 in (102 mm) when every pocket is full, or 10 in (254 mm) when the adjacent pockets are left empty.
Three-phase power at 220 VAC and 105 A, or 440 VAC and 53 A. Air consumption is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), with a minimum of 80 psi (5.5 bar) at the 3/8 in coupler. Coolant capacity is 95 gal (360 L).
