Haas Automation VF-1 in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Haas VF-1

How much does the Haas VF-1 cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$66,995 for the Haas VF-1 (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-vf-1#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

What is the difference between the Haas VF-1 and the VF-2?

X travel and table length. The VF-1 has 20 in (508 mm) of X and a 26 × 14 in (660 × 356 mm) table; the VF-2 has 30 in (762 mm) of X and a 36 × 14 in (914 × 356 mm) table. Y at 16 in (406 mm), Z at 20 in (508 mm), the 8,100 rpm 30 hp (22.4 kW) spindle, the 20 tools and the 3,000 lb (1,361 kg) table load are identical on the VF-1 and the VF-2.

Does the VF-1 come with a gearbox?

Not as standard. The base spindle is inline direct-drive with 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. Haas's table gives a second figure, 250 ft-lbf (339 N·m) at 450 rpm, for the optional gearbox. Order it if the work includes large drills, big taps or heavy low-speed cuts in steel.

What tool changer does the VF-1 have?

A carousel holding 20 tools. Tool-to-tool time is 4.2 s and chip-to-chip is 4.5 s. Maximum tool diameter is 3.5 in (89 mm) and maximum tool weight is 12 lb (5.4 kg). The VF-1YT is listed with a 30+1 tool changer instead.

How much can I load on the VF-1 table?

3,000 lb (1,361 kg). The table is 26 × 14 in (660 × 356 mm) with 3 T-slots, 0.626 in to 0.63 in (15.9 mm to 16 mm) wide, on 4.92 in (125 mm) centres. The load rating is far more than parts of this size normally weigh, so heavy vises, fixture plates and rotary tables are within it.

What power, air and coolant does the VF-1 need?

Three-phase electricity at 220 VAC and 70 A or at 440 VAC and 35 A. Air at 4 scfm and 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), with at least 80 psi (5.5 bar) at the machine, through a 3/8 in hose. The coolant tank holds 55 gal (208 L). Shipping weight is 7,800 lb (3,539 kg).
