Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$391,995 for the Haas VF-12/40 (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-12-40#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
X travel is 150 in (3,810 mm) and the table is 150 × 28 in (3,810 × 711 mm), so a part as long as the table can be reached end to end. Y travel is 32 in (813 mm) and Z travel is 30 in (762 mm), with the spindle nose between 4 in (102 mm) and 34 in (864 mm) above the table. The part, its fixtures and any vises together must stay within the 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table load.
The spindle. The VF-12/40 has an inline direct-drive 40-taper spindle: 8,100 rpm, 30 hp (22.4 kW), 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. The VF-12/50 has a CT or BT 50 spindle with 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm and a 7,500 rpm top speed, on the same 150 × 32 × 30 in (3,810 × 813 × 762 mm) travels. The VF-12/50 ships at 37,200 lb (16,874 kg), the VF-12/40 at 36,300 lb (16,466 kg).
Not as the base machine. The base spindle is inline direct-drive with 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. Haas's table lists a separate torque figure of 250 ft-lbf (339 N·m) at 450 rpm for an optional gearbox, so that torque is only available if the option is ordered.
Rapids are 360 ipm (9.1 m/min) on X and 600 ipm (15.2 m/min) on Y and Z. The maximum cutting feedrate is also 360 ipm (9.1 m/min). On a 150 in (3,810 mm) axis the X figure governs how long it takes to travel between setups at opposite ends of the table, so group operations by location where the program allows.
The machine ships at 36,300 lb (16,466 kg). Haas gives a domestic pallet of 343 × 110 × 130 in (871 × 280 × 331 cm) and an export crate of 343 × 110 × 134.5 in (871 × 280 × 342 cm); these are shipping sizes, so check the installed layout separately. It needs 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A, and 4 scfm of air at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar).
