Haas Automation VF-5SS in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Haas VF-5SS

How much does the Haas VF-5SS cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$141,995 for the Haas VF-5SS (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-5ss#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

How does the VF-5SS compare with the VF-5/40?

Travels and table are identical. The VF-5SS has a 12,000 rpm spindle, 1,200 ipm (30.5 m/min) rapids, an 833 ipm (21.2 m/min) feed limit, 30+1 tools and a 1,750 lb (794 kg) table load. The VF-5/40 has 8,100 rpm, 710 ipm (18 m/min), 500 ipm (12.7 m/min), 20 tools and 4,000 lb (1,814 kg). Both are rated 30 hp (22.4 kW) and 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm and both ship at 12,700 lb (5,761 kg).

Is the VF-5SS as fast as the VF-4SS?

Not in rapid traverse. The VF-5SS is listed at 1,200 ipm (30.5 m/min) and the VF-4SS at 1,400 ipm (35.6 m/min). Spindle speed, 12,000 rpm, and cutting feedrate, 833 ipm (21.2 m/min), are the same on both, as is the 1,750 lb (794 kg) table load. What the VF-5SS adds is Y travel, 26 in (660 mm) against 20 in (508 mm) on the VF-4SS, and a 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm) table.

What is the largest tool the VF-5SS can change?

Length up to 16 in (406 mm) and weight up to 12 lb (5.4 kg). For diameter Haas gives three figures: 2.5 in (64 mm) with tools in the adjacent pockets, 5 in (127 mm) with those pockets empty, and 6 in (152 mm) for an extra-large tool with adjacent pockets empty. The magazine holds 30+1 tools.

Can the VF-5SS handle heavy workpieces?

Only up to 1,750 lb (794 kg) on the table, including vises and fixtures. The table itself is 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm), so a solid steel block that covers it would exceed the rating at only a few inches thick. For heavier work on the same travels the VF-5/40 is rated 4,000 lb (1,814 kg).
