Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$300,995 for the Haas VM-9-50 (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-9-50#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
The VM-9-50 is rated 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) at 900 rpm and 60 hp (44.7 kW). The VM-9 is rated 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm and 30 hp (22.4 kW). That is almost four times the torque and twice the power, delivered through a 2-speed gearbox and a 50-taper spindle nose. Top speed drops from 12,000 rpm on the VM-9 to 10,000 rpm.
The side-mount changer holds 30+1 tools on a CT or BT 50 taper. A tool can be 4 in (102 mm) in diameter with all pockets loaded, 8 in (203 mm) with the adjacent pockets empty, and Haas lists 10 in (254 mm) for extra-large tools with adjacent pockets empty. Maximum length is 16 in (406 mm) and maximum weight is 30 lb (13.6 kg).
Haas lists 4.2 s tool-to-tool and 6.3 s chip-to-chip. Moving 50-taper tools of up to 30 lb (13.6 kg) takes longer than swapping light holders, so the machine suits long cuts with few changes better than parts built from many short operations.
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 must hold at least 80 psi (5.5 bar).
Haas's shipping table lists 28,900 lb (13,109 kg). The domestic pallet measures 214 × 120 × 131.5 in (544 × 305 × 334 cm) and the export crate 214 × 123 × 133.5 in (544 × 313 × 339 cm). These are shipping dimensions: they tell you what the rigger and the door opening must handle, not how much floor the installed machine occupies.
