Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$303,995 for the Haas VR-5 (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-vr-5#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
Haas's table lists three linear axes, a B axis of ±120° and a C axis of ±245°, together with a fixed 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm) T-slot table rated for 4,000 lb (1,814 kg). No platter or trunnion is listed, and the rotary torques are 112 ft-lbf (152 N·m) on B and 210 ft-lbf (285 N·m) on C, so the rotary axes angle the tool while the part stays on the table.
The BT30 spindle is rated 15 hp (11.2 kW), 24,000 rpm and 11 ft-lbf (14.9 N·m) at 5,500 rpm. That suits small cutters at high speed in aluminium, plastics and composites. In steel it has enough torque only for light finishing and small drills, so a shop cutting mostly ferrous parts should look at a heavier spindle.
The VR-8 is larger and stronger: 64 × 40 × 42 in (1,626 × 1,016 × 1,067 mm) travels, a 64 × 36 in (1,626 × 914 mm) table, and an HSK-A63 spindle with 29 hp (21.6 kW), 20,000 rpm and 20 ft-lbf (27 N·m) at 7,500 rpm. The VR-5 has 50 × 26 × 28 in (1,270 × 660 × 711 mm) travels and a 24,000 rpm BT30 spindle. Both list a 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table load and 50+1 tool capacity.
B moves at up to 105°/sec and C at up to 100°/sec. B has 112 ft-lbf (152 N·m) of torque and a 100 ft-lbf (136 N·m) brake; C has 210 ft-lbf (285 N·m) of torque and a 190 ft-lbf (258 N·m) brake. The linear axes rapid at 710 ipm (18 m/min).
Haas lists the spindle nose to table distance as 4.2 in (107 mm) minimum and 32.2 in (818 mm) maximum, with 28 in (711 mm) of Z travel. Tool length can be up to 16 in (406 mm). Work out the clearance for your tallest part with the longest tool before settling on fixture heights.
The supply is 220 VAC three-phase at 40 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 20 A, with air at 4 scfm and 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar). Haas's shipping table gives 12,700 lb (5,761 kg) on a domestic pallet of 168 × 101.5 × 109 in (427 × 258 × 277 cm). Those are transport dimensions, not the installed floor space.
