Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$463,995 for the Haas VM-12/50 (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-vm-12-50#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
Only in the spindle and tooling. The VM-12/50 has a CT or BT 50 spindle with 60 hp (44.7 kW), 10,000 rpm and 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) at 900 rpm. The VM-12 has a CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63 spindle with 30 hp (22.4 kW), 12,000 rpm and 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. Travels, table size, table load and feed rates are listed the same.
When the work fits in the 120 in (3,048 mm) of X that the VM-10/50 offers. The VM-10/50 has the same 60 hp (44.7 kW), 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) spindle rating, the same 32 in (813 mm) of Y and the same 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table load on a 120 × 28 in (3,048 × 711 mm) table. The VM-12/50 is for parts or fixture rows that need the full 150 in (3,810 mm).
The side-mount changer holds 30+1 tools. Diameter is limited to 4 in (102 mm) with every pocket in use and 8 in (203 mm) with adjacent pockets empty; Haas lists 10 in (254 mm) for extra-large tools with adjacent pockets empty. Length can be up to 16 in (406 mm) and weight up to 30 lb (13.6 kg).
4,000 lb (1,814 kg). The table is 150 × 28 in (3,810 × 711 mm), so the rating is low relative to the area: add the part, the fixtures and any risers before committing a heavy steel job, and consider whether the part can be lightened or split.
Three-phase power at 220 VAC and 105 A, or 440 VAC and 53 A. Compressed air at 4 scfm and 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), with no less than 80 psi (5.5 bar) at the machine. The coolant tank capacity is 95 gal (360 L).
