Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$433,995 for the Haas VF-12/50 (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-12-50#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
They share travels, table and table load, so the spindle decides it. The VF-12/40 spindle reaches 8,100 rpm and makes 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, while the VF-12/50 makes 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm and reaches 7,500 rpm. Both are rated 30 hp (22.4 kW). For large cutters at low speed in steel or iron the VF-12/50 is the stronger fit. For small tools and aluminium, the higher top speed of the VF-12/40 is the more useful figure.
340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm, from a 30 hp (22.4 kW) motor driving a 2-speed gearbox. Maximum speed is 7,500 rpm. The taper is CT or BT 50, and the spindle is liquid cooled with air/oil injection bearing lubrication.
Up to 30 lb (13.6 kg) and 16 in (406 mm) long. With all 30+1 pockets in use the diameter limit is 4 in (102 mm). Leave the adjacent pockets empty and it rises to 10 in (254 mm). Budget 4.2 s tool to tool, or 6.3 s chip to chip, for each change.
It is 150 × 28 in (3,810 × 711 mm) with 5 T-slots, 0.626 in to 0.63 in (15.9 mm to 16 mm) wide, on 4.92 in (125 mm) centers. Maximum table load is 4,000 lb (1,814 kg). The spindle nose sits between 5 in (127 mm) and 35 in (889 mm) above the table surface.
Shipping weight is 37,200 lb (16,874 kg). The domestic pallet is 343 × 110 × 134 in (871 × 280 × 341 cm) and the export crate 343 × 110 × 137 in (871 × 280 × 348 cm). Supply either 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A. Air consumption is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar) through a 3/8 in inline hose and coupler, with a minimum of 80 psi (5.5 bar). The coolant tank holds 95 gal (360 L).
