Frequently Asked Questions: Haas VM-14

How much does the Haas VM-14 cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$463,995 for the Haas VM-14 (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-14#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

Is the VM-14 just a wider VM-12?

In travel, yes: 40 in (1,016 mm) of Y against 32 in (813 mm) on the VM-12, with the same 150 in (3,810 mm) of X and 30 in (762 mm) of Z. The table is 150 × 28 in (3,810 × 711 mm) on both, and Haas lists 36,300 lb (16,466 kg) for both. Tool change times for the VM-14 are 1.83 s tool-to-tool and 3.28 s chip-to-chip.

Can the VM-14 rough steel molds?

Within the limits of a 40-taper spindle. It has 30 hp (22.4 kW) and peaks at 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, which suits small and medium cutters taking light, fast passes. For large face mills and deep heavy cuts the VM-14/50 has 60 hp (44.7 kW) and 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) at 900 rpm on the same travels.

What limits the feed rate on the VM-14?

Haas lists a maximum cutting feedrate of 360 ipm (9.1 m/min). X rapids are also 360 ipm, and Y and Z rapids are 600 ipm (15.2 m/min). On programs that cover a large surface with a small stepover, the feed limit sets the cycle time more than the spindle does.

How wide a part fits on the VM-14?

The spindle travels 40 in (1,016 mm) in Y over a table 28 in (711 mm) wide. A part or sub-plate wider than the table can be machined across the full Y travel if it is supported properly and the total load stays within 4,000 lb (1,814 kg). Vertical clearance is 4 in (102 mm) to 34 in (864 mm) from spindle nose to table.

What does the VM-14 need from the shop?

A three-phase supply of 70 A at 220 VAC or 35 A at 440 VAC, and air at 4 scfm and 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar) with at least 80 psi (5.5 bar) available. For delivery, the domestic pallet is 343 × 110 × 130 in (871 × 280 × 331 cm) and the listed shipping weight is 36,300 lb (16,466 kg).
