Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$87,995 for the Haas VF-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-vf-3#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
Travels are 40 × 20 × 25 in (1,016 × 508 × 635 mm). The table is 48 × 18 in (1,219 × 457 mm) with five T-slots, 0.626 to 0.63 in (15.9 to 16 mm) wide, on 3.15 in (80 mm) centres. The spindle nose sits 4.2 in (107 mm) above the table at the bottom of Z and 29.2 in (742 mm) at the top.
Both share the travels and the 48 × 18 in (1,219 × 457 mm) table. The VF-3 has an 8,100 rpm spindle, 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min) rapids, a 20-tool carousel and a 3,500 lb (1,588 kg) table load. The VF-3SS runs to 12,000 rpm with 1,400 ipm (35.6 m/min) rapids and 30+1 tools, and its table load is 1,750 lb (794 kg). Spindle power and torque ratings are the same on both, 30 hp (22.4 kW) and 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm.
No. The base spindle is inline direct-drive, rated 30 hp (22.4 kW) with 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. Haas's table lists the gearbox as an option, and with it the torque figure becomes 250 ft-lbf (339 N·m) at 450 rpm. Shops that rough steel with large face mills or run big drills at low speed are the ones who should look at it.
The carousel holds 20 tools. Maximum tool diameter is 3.5 in (89 mm) and maximum tool weight is 12 lb (5.4 kg). A change takes 4.2 s tool-to-tool and 4.5 s chip-to-chip. Haas's shipping table also has rows for the machine with 50+1 and 70+1 side-mount tool changers, which are alternative configurations and not the base machine.
Haas's shipping section gives 11,720 lb (5,316 kg) for the base machine on a 152 × 99 × 106 in (387 × 251 × 269 cm) domestic pallet, and 13,800 lb (6,260 kg) with the conveyor. Power is 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A. Air demand is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), with 80 psi (5.5 bar) as the minimum supply pressure.
