With all 30+1 pockets full, each tool can be 4 in (102 mm) in diameter. With the adjacent pockets empty the limit is 8 in (203 mm), and Haas's table gives 10 in (254 mm) for extra-large tools with adjacent pockets empty. Maximum tool length is 16 in (406 mm) and maximum tool weight is 30 lb (13.6 kg). A change takes 4.2 s tool to tool and 6.3 s chip to chip.
The spindle. The VM-6 runs to 12,000 rpm with 30 hp (22.4 kW) and 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, in CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63. The VM-6-50 runs to 10,000 rpm with 60 hp (44.7 kW) and 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) at 900 rpm, in CT or BT 50. Travels, table size, table load, feedrate and rapids are the same. The VM-6-50 ships at 25,500 lb (11,567 kg) and the VM-6 at 24,000 lb (10,887 kg).
The VM-8-50 is the wider machine, with 40 in (1,016 mm) of Y travel and a 64 × 36 in (1,626 × 914 mm) table, where the VM-6-50 has 32 in (813 mm) of Y and a 64 × 28 in (1,626 × 711 mm) table. X travel, Z travel, the 60 hp (44.7 kW) spindle and the 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table load are the same on both.
The base figures are 25,500 lb (11,567 kg), a domestic pallet of 195 × 102 × 131.5 in (496 × 260 × 334 cm) and an export crate of 195 × 105.5 × 133.5 in (496 × 268 × 339 cm). With the EC option, Haas lists 25,800 lb (11,703 kg), a 195 × 102 × 139 in (496 × 260 × 353 cm) pallet and a 195 × 106 × 142 in (496 × 268 × 359 cm) crate.
The 64 × 28 in (1,626 × 711 mm) table has T-slots in both directions, listed as 7 in X and 12 in Y. The slots are 0.626 in to 0.63 in (15.9 mm to 16 mm) wide on 4.92 in (125 mm) centers. Everything clamped to it, part included, must total no more than 4,000 lb (1,814 kg).
