X travel: 50 in (1,270 mm) on the VM-5 against 40 in (1,016 mm) on the VM-3. The table, 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm), is the same size on both, as are the 26 in (660 mm) of Y, 25 in (635 mm) of Z, the 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table load and the 12,000 rpm spindle. The VM-5 also lists HSK-A63 as a taper choice, where the VM-3 lists CT or BT 40.
Haas lists CT40, BT40 and HSK-A63. Whichever is chosen, the spindle is the same inline direct-drive unit: 12,000 rpm, 30 hp (22.4 kW) and 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. The tool changer limits are 12 lb (5.4 kg), 16 in (406 mm) in length and 2.5 in (64 mm) in diameter, or 5 in (127 mm) with adjacent pockets empty.
Large. The VM-6 has 64 × 32 × 30 in (1,626 × 813 × 762 mm) of travel and a 64 × 28 in (1,626 × 711 mm) table, and ships at 24,000 lb (10,887 kg). The VM-5 has 50 × 26 × 25 in (1,270 × 660 × 635 mm) of travel and ships at 12,700 lb (5,761 kg). Table load is 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) on both, and the VM-6 rapids are 600 ipm (15.2 m/min) against 710 ipm (18 m/min) on the VM-5.
The table is 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm) with T-slots in both directions, listed as 13 in Y and 6 in X. Slot width is 0.626 in to 0.63 in (15.9 mm to 16 mm) and the center distance is 3.94 in (100 mm). The spindle nose can be positioned from 4.2 in (107 mm) to 29.2 in (742 mm) above it.
Haas's shipping weight is 12,700 lb (5,761 kg) on a domestic pallet of 168 × 101.5 × 109 in (427 × 258 × 277 cm). With the optional 50+1 side-mount changer the pallet is listed at 168 × 102 × 122 in (427 × 260 × 310 cm). The machine runs on 220 VAC at 70 A or 440 VAC at 35 A, three-phase, and uses 4 scfm of air at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar).
