A 36 × 18 in (914 × 457 mm) table with T-slots in both directions. Haas lists them as 7 in Y and 3 in X, 0.626 in to 0.63 in (15.9 mm to 16 mm) wide, on 4.38 in (111 mm) centers. The maximum table load is 3,000 lb (1,361 kg), and the spindle nose can be set from 4 in (102 mm) to 24 in (610 mm) above the table.
The VM-3 is larger in every axis: 40 × 26 × 25 in (1,016 × 660 × 635 mm) of travel against 30 × 20 × 20 in (762 × 508 × 508 mm) on the VM-2. The VM-3 table is 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm) and carries 4,000 lb (1,814 kg), where the VM-2 table is 36 × 18 in (914 × 457 mm) and carries 3,000 lb (1,361 kg). Both have a 12,000 rpm, 30 hp (22.4 kW) spindle, a 500 ipm (12.7 m/min) cutting feedrate and 710 ipm (18 m/min) rapids.
The table is rated for 3,000 lb (1,361 kg), and that figure covers the workpiece, the vise or clamps and any plates under it. Because the travels are 30 × 20 × 20 in (762 × 508 × 508 mm), a solid steel block close to that size would be at or beyond the rating. Weigh large blocks before planning the job.
The spec table gives a 30+1 side-mount changer with a 2.8 s tool-to-tool and 3.6 s chip-to-chip time. The shipping section adds rows for 50+1 and 70+1 side-mount changers, which are optional configurations. The listed weight is 9,700 lb (4,400 kg) for the 50+1 version, rising to 9,920 lb (4,500 kg) for the 70+1 version.
Three-phase power at 220 VAC and 70 A, or 440 VAC and 35 A. Compressed air at 4 scfm and 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), never below 80 psi (5.5 bar), through a 3/8 in hose and coupler. The coolant tank holds 55 gal (208 L). The domestic shipping pallet is 102 × 106 × 102 in (260 × 270 × 260 cm).
