Haas Automation VF-3YT in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Haas VF-3YT

How much does the Haas VF-3YT cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$99,995 for the Haas VF-3YT (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-3yt#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

What does YT mean on the Haas VF-3YT?

It marks the longer Y axis. The VF-3YT has 26 in (660 mm) of Y travel where the VF-3 has 20 in (508 mm), and the table grows with it, from 48 × 18 in (1,219 × 457 mm) on the VF-3 to 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm). X and Z travels are unchanged at 40 in (1,016 mm) and 25 in (635 mm).

Is the VF-3YT slower than the VF-3?

In axis speed, yes. The VF-3YT rapids at 710 ipm (18 m/min) and cuts at up to 500 ipm (12.7 m/min). The VF-3 is listed at 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min) and 650 ipm (16.5 m/min). Spindle speed, power and torque are the same on both: 8,100 rpm, 30 hp (22.4 kW) and 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm.

How much torque is available for roughing on the VF-3YT?

The direct-drive spindle delivers 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. With the optional gearbox the listed figure is 250 ft-lbf (339 N·m) at 450 rpm. Axis thrust backs that up on Y and Z, both 4,100 lbf (18,238 N), while X is 2,550 lbf (11,343 N), so the heaviest side loads are better taken along Y.

What are the table details on the VF-3YT?

The table is 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm) with seven T-slots, 0.626 to 0.63 in (15.9 to 16 mm) wide, spaced 3.15 in (80 mm) apart. Maximum load is 3,500 lb (1,588 kg). The spindle nose travels from 4.2 in (107 mm) to 29.2 in (742 mm) above the table surface.

Can the VF-3YT be configured with a larger tool changer?

The base machine has a 20-tool carousel. Haas's shipping table has separate rows for the machine with a 50+1 side-mount tool changer and with a 70+1 side-mount tool changer, which shows these exist as configurations; they are not the base machine. The listed shipping weight is 12,560 lb (5,697 kg) in base form.
