Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$169,995 for the Haas VM-3-50 (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-3-50#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
Power doubles and torque rises almost fourfold. The VM-3-50 is rated 60 hp (44.7 kW) and 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) at 900 rpm; the VM-3 is rated 30 hp (22.4 kW) and 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. Top speed goes the other way: 10,000 rpm on the VM-3-50 and 12,000 rpm on the VM-3. The VM-3-50 drives through a 2-speed gearbox and uses CT or BT 50 tooling.
Three-phase power at either 220 VAC and 105 A or 440 VAC and 53 A. Check the panel and feeder against the higher current before ordering. Air demand is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), with a minimum supply pressure of 80 psi (5.5 bar).
A tool can weigh 30 lb (13.6 kg) and measure 16 in (406 mm) long. With all 30+1 pockets occupied, the diameter limit is 4 in (102 mm). If the pockets next to the tool are kept empty, the limit is 7 in (178 mm). Each change takes 4.2 s tool to tool or 6.3 s chip to chip.
The spindle nose travels between 7.9 in (200 mm) and 32.9 in (836 mm) above the table, across 25 in (635 mm) of Z. A thin part clamped flat on the table therefore needs a tool long enough to span the gap, or a riser under the work. Tools up to 16 in (406 mm) long fit the changer.
Nearly. Haas lists the VM-3-50 table at 54 × 24.5 in (1,372 × 622 mm) and the VM-3 table at 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm). Both are rated for 4,000 lb (1,814 kg). The VM-3-50 table has T-slots listed as 13 in Y and 6 in X on 3.94 in (100 mm) centers.
