Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$83,995 for the Haas VF-2SS Super Speed VMC (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-2ss#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
Measured against the VF-2: a 12,000 rpm spindle instead of 8,100 rpm, 1,400 ipm (35.6 m/min) rapids instead of 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min), 833 ipm (21.2 m/min) cutting feed instead of 650 ipm (16.5 m/min), and a 30+1 tool changer instead of 20 tools. Travels, table size, spindle power and shipping weight are the same on the VF-2SS and the VF-2.
Haas rates the VF-2SS table at 1,500 lb (680 kg) and the VF-2 table at 3,000 lb (1,361 kg), on the same 36 × 14 in (914 × 356 mm) table. The specification does not give a reason. The practical point is to treat 1,500 lb as a firm limit for part plus workholding, and to weigh a rotary table and its fixture before assuming they fit.
Yes, within its torque. The spindle delivers 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm and 30 hp (22.4 kW), with 3,085 lbf (13,723 N) of Z thrust for drilling. Its table shows no optional gearbox torque, so very large drills and heavy low-speed roughing are not this machine's strength.
Up to 11 in (279 mm) long and 12 lb (5.4 kg). Diameter is limited to 2.5 in (64 mm) when all 30+1 pockets are in use. Haas gives 5 in (127 mm) as the maximum when the pockets next to the tool are left empty, so a large face mill costs two neighbouring positions.
Three-phase power at 220 VAC and 70 A or 440 VAC and 35 A. Air at 4 scfm and 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar) with no less than 80 psi (5.5 bar) at the inlet, through a 3/8 in hose and coupler. Coolant capacity is 55 gal (208 L).
