Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$421,995 for the Haas VM-12 (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-vm-12#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
The table is 150 × 28 in (3,810 × 711 mm) and X travel is 150 in (3,810 mm), so the spindle reaches the full length. Y travel is 32 in (813 mm) and Z travel is 30 in (762 mm), with the spindle nose between 4 in (102 mm) and 34 in (864 mm) above the table.
Y travel. The VM-14 has 40 in (1,016 mm) of Y; the VM-12 has 32 in (813 mm). Both have 150 in (3,810 mm) of X, a 150 × 28 in (3,810 × 711 mm) table and the same 30 hp (22.4 kW), 12,000 rpm spindle, and Haas lists the same 36,300 lb (16,466 kg) shipping weight for the VM-14 as for the VM-12.
The table is rated for 4,000 lb (1,814 kg), the same as the shorter VM-10. A long table invites long steel parts, and those reach the limit quickly once fixtures are added, so weigh the whole setup. For light alloy plate or several small fixtures the rating is rarely the constraint.
Haas lists a domestic pallet of 343 × 110 × 130 in (871 × 280 × 331 cm) and an export crate of 343 × 110 × 134.5 in (871 × 280 × 342 cm), at 36,300 lb (16,466 kg). These describe the machine as shipped, which is what the rigger and the building entrance have to handle. They are not the installed floor space.
Haas lists 5 in X and 30 in Y. The slots are 0.626 in to 0.63 in (15.9 mm to 16 mm) wide on 4.92 in (125 mm) centres. With slots running both ways, a fixture can be keyed in either direction at any point along the 150 in (3,810 mm) table.
