Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$459,995 for the Haas VR-9 (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-9#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
Choose on part length. The VR-9 has 84 in (2,134 mm) of X and an 84 × 36 in (2,134 × 914 mm) table; the VR-8 has 64 in (1,626 mm) of X and a 64 × 36 in (1,626 × 914 mm) table. Y and Z travel, the 29 hp (21.6 kW) 20,000 rpm spindle, the rotary travel and the 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table load are the same. The VR-9 ships at 28,300 lb (12,840 kg) against 24,800 lb (11,250 kg) for the VR-8.
The VR-11 has 120 in (3,048 mm) of X, but its table is 120 × 28 in (3,048 × 711 mm) and its cutting feed and X rapid are 360 ipm (9.1 m/min). The VR-9 has a 36 in (914 mm) deep table, a 500 ipm (12.7 m/min) cutting feed and 600 ipm (15.2 m/min) rapids. Spindle, Y and Z travel are listed the same, and the VR-11 ships at 33,400 lb (15,150 kg).
Both have 84 in (2,134 mm) of X and a 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table load. The VF-7/40 has 32 in (813 mm) of Y, 30 in (762 mm) of Z and an 8,100 rpm spindle with 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. The VR-9 adds B and C axes, 40 in (1,016 mm) of Y, 42 in (1,067 mm) of Z and a 20,000 rpm spindle, with 20 ft-lbf (27 N·m) of torque. One is for heavier 3-axis cuts, the other for angled access at high speed.
They are what holds a rotary axis still during a cut at a fixed angle: 454 ft-lbf (616 N·m) on B and 442 ft-lbf (600 N·m) on C. Drive torque, which moves the axis while cutting, is 470 ft-lbf (639 N·m) on B and 285 ft-lbf (386 N·m) on C. The C brake is about 55% stronger than the C drive, so the heaviest cuts are best taken with the axes locked.
Haas lists 28,300 lb (12,840 kg), or 28,700 lb (13,020 kg) with the EC option. The domestic pallet is 235 × 120 × 142 in (597 × 305 × 361 cm) and the export crate 235 × 123 × 144 in (597 × 313 × 366 cm). These are shipping sizes for rigging and access planning, not the floor space of the installed machine.
Haas's documentation for the model lists G268 Feature Coordinate System, G253 Orient Spindle Normal to Feature Coordinate System and Vector Jogging. The spec table does not describe the control, so ask Haas which functions are part of the base machine.
