Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$101,995 for the Haas VF-3SS (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-3ss#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
Spindle speed rises from 8,100 rpm on the VF-3 to 12,000 rpm. Rapids go from 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min) to 1,400 ipm (35.6 m/min), cutting feedrate from 650 ipm (16.5 m/min) to 833 ipm (21.2 m/min), and the 20-tool carousel of the VF-3 gives way to a 30+1 side-mount changer. Table load falls from the VF-3's 3,500 lb (1,588 kg) to 1,750 lb (794 kg). Travels, table size and the 30 hp (22.4 kW) rating stay the same.
With all 30+1 pockets in use, 2.5 in (64 mm) in diameter. Leave the adjacent pockets empty and the limit becomes 5 in (127 mm). Maximum tool length is 13 in (330 mm) and maximum weight 12 lb (5.4 kg). A face mill wider than 2.5 in therefore takes up three pockets' worth of space, which matters when planning a full tool list.
It can cut steel, but the figures point elsewhere. Peak torque is 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, the table for this model lists no gearbox, and Z thrust is 3,923 lbf (17,450 N). The machine's advantages are the 12,000 rpm top speed and 1,400 ipm (35.6 m/min) rapids, which reward lighter cuts taken quickly.
1,750 lb (794 kg). The table is 48 × 18 in (1,219 × 457 mm) with five T-slots on 3.15 in (80 mm) centres. Count the vises, fixture plates and any rotary unit along with the part, because the limit is half the 3,500 lb (1,588 kg) of the VF-3 and is easier to reach than it looks.
Haas's shipping section lists 11,720 lb (5,316 kg) for the base machine on a 152 × 99 × 106 in (387 × 251 × 269 cm) domestic pallet. With the 50+1 side-mount tool changer the figure is 12,180 lb (5,525 kg), and with the conveyor 13,800 lb (6,260 kg). These are shipping weights and pallet sizes, not installed floor space.
