Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$159,995 for the Haas VF-5/50 (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-5-50#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
When the tooling is too large for the VF-5/40 or the cut needs torque at low rpm. The VF-5/50 makes 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm; the VF-5/40 makes 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. For work that lives above a few thousand rpm with small cutters, the VF-5/40 has the higher top speed, 8,100 rpm against 7,500 rpm, and both machines share 30 hp (22.4 kW).
The spindle takes CT 50 or BT 50 holders. The side-mount changer stores 30+1 tools, each up to 30 lb (13.6 kg) and 16 in (406 mm) long. Maximum diameter is 4 in (102 mm) with neighbouring tools in place and 7 in (178 mm) next to empty pockets. Changes take 4.2 s tool-to-tool and 6.3 s chip-to-chip.
7.9 in (201 mm) at the bottom of Z travel, rising to 32.9 in (836 mm) at the top. Short tools therefore need the work raised on a fixture, parallels or a sub-plate. The upside is height: with 32.9 in (836 mm) available there is room for tall parts under long 50-taper tools.
Haas's shipping section lists 14,920 lb, on a 168 × 102 × 122 in (427 × 260 × 310 cm) domestic pallet or in a 168 × 102 × 130 in (427 × 260 × 331 cm) export crate. The 40-taper VF-5/40 is listed at 12,700 lb (5,761 kg). These are shipping figures, so add tooling, coolant and workholding when checking floor capacity.
