Frequently Asked Questions: Haas VM-5-50

How much does the Haas VM-5-50 cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$194,995 for the Haas VM-5-50 (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-5-50#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

What is the difference between the VM-5-50 and the VM-5?

The spindle and the tooling it takes. The VM-5 has a 40-taper spindle with 30 hp (22.4 kW), 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm and 12,000 rpm. The VM-5-50 has a CT or BT 50 spindle with 60 hp (44.7 kW), 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) at 900 rpm and 10,000 rpm. Travels match. The VM-5 table is 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm) and the VM-5-50 table is 54 × 24.5 in (1,372 × 622 mm), both rated 4,000 lb (1,814 kg).

How does the VM-5-50 compare with the VM-3-50 and the VM-6-50?

All three list 60 hp (44.7 kW), 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) at 900 rpm and 10,000 rpm; the envelope is what changes. The VM-3-50 has 40 in (1,016 mm) of X on the same 54 × 24.5 in (1,372 × 622 mm) table. The VM-6-50 has 64 × 32 × 30 in (1,626 × 813 × 762 mm) of travel, a 64 × 28 in (1,626 × 711 mm) table, 600 ipm (15.2 m/min) rapids and a shipping weight of 25,500 lb (11,567 kg).

How fast are the VM-5-50 axes?

The maximum cutting feedrate is 500 ipm (12.7 m/min) and rapid traverse is 710 ipm (18 m/min). Maximum thrust is 4,100 lbf on X and Y and 5,600 lbf (24,910 N) on Z. Travel is 50 in (1,270 mm) in X, 26 in (660 mm) in Y and 25 in (635 mm) in Z.

What does the VM-5-50 weigh and how does it ship?

Haas lists a machine weight of 14,920 lb. The domestic pallet is 168 × 102 × 122 in (427 × 260 × 310 cm) and the export crate is 168 × 102 × 130 in (427 × 260 × 331 cm). Those are shipping sizes, not the installed layout.

What power and air supply are required?

The VM-5-50 needs three-phase power at 220 VAC and 105 A, or 440 VAC and 53 A. Air consumption is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar) and the supply must hold at least 80 psi (5.5 bar). The air hose and coupler are both 3/8 in.
