Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$265,995 for the Haas VM-8-50 (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-8-50#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
In spindle and tooling. The VM-8 has a 12,000 rpm spindle 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-8-50 has a 10,000 rpm geared spindle with 60 hp (44.7 kW) and 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) at 900 rpm, in CT or BT 50. Both have 64 × 40 × 30 in (1,626 × 1,016 × 762 mm) of travel, a 64 × 36 in (1,626 × 914 mm) table and a 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table load.
Width. The VM-6-50 has 32 in (813 mm) of Y travel and a 64 × 28 in (1,626 × 711 mm) table. The VM-8-50 has 40 in (1,016 mm) of Y and a 64 × 36 in (1,626 × 914 mm) table. The spindle figures, X and Z travel, the cutting feedrate and the 600 ipm (15.2 m/min) rapids are the same.
The figures support it. For roughing there is 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) at 900 rpm and room in the changer for tools up to 30 lb (13.6 kg). For finishing, the spindle reaches 10,000 rpm and the cutting feedrate goes to 500 ipm (12.7 m/min). The trade is in the smallest cutters, where a 10,000 rpm ceiling limits surface speed.
Haas's shipping section lists 29,000 lb (13,155 kg) with the EC option and gives no separate weight for the base machine. The base domestic pallet is 194.5 × 120 × 131 in (494 × 305 × 333 cm) and the base export crate is 194.5 × 123 × 133.5 in (494 × 313 × 339 cm). Use the listed weight for rigging plans unless Haas confirms a lower one.
Either 220 VAC three-phase at 105 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 53 A. Air demand is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), and the supply should not drop under 80 psi (5.5 bar). The coolant tank holds 95 gal (360 L).
