Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$606,995 for the Haas VS-3 (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-vs-3#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
The X travel, spindle figures and feedrates match; the Y, Z, table and load capacity do not. The VF-12/50 has 150 in (3,810 mm) of X, 32 in (813 mm) of Y, 30 in (762 mm) of Z, a 150 × 28 in (3,810 × 711 mm) table for 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) and 30+1 tools. The VS-3 has 50 in (1,270 mm) of Y and of Z, a 153 × 49 in (3,886 × 1,245 mm) table for 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) and 50+1 tools.
The VS-3 and VS-3-5AX list the same 150 × 50 × 50 in (3,810 × 1,270 × 1,270 mm) travels and 153 × 49 in (3,886 × 1,245 mm) table. The VS-3 has a 7,500 rpm CT or BT 50 geared spindle with 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm and 50+1 tools. The VS-3-5AX adds B and C axes and has a 20,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle rated 29 hp (21.6 kW) with 20 ft-lbf (27 N·m) at 7,500 rpm, plus 70+1 tools. Heavy three-axis cutting in steel points to the VS-3.
Only in length. The VS-1 has 100 in (2,540 mm) of X travel and a 102 × 49 in (2,591 × 1,245 mm) table. The VS-3 has 150 in (3,810 mm) and a 153 × 49 in (3,886 × 1,245 mm) table. Y and Z travel, the spindle, the 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) table load and the 50+1 tool capacity are listed the same for the VS-1 and the VS-3.
Up to 30 lb (13.6 kg) and 16 in (406 mm) long. Diameter is limited to 4 in (102 mm) when the 50+1 side-mount tool changer is full, and to 10 in (254 mm) when the pockets on either side are left empty. The taper is CT or BT 50. Expect 6 s tool-to-tool and 15 s chip-to-chip.
Maximum thrust is 4,000 lbf (17,793 N) in X and in Y and 6,300 lbf (28,024 N) in Z. Maximum cutting feedrate is 360 ipm (9.1 m/min). The higher Z figure is what matters for large drills, where the feed force acts along the spindle.
Power is 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A. Air is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), 80 psi (5.5 bar) minimum, on a 3/8 in hose. The coolant tank is 95 gal (360 L). The column assembly ships at 23,060 lb (10,460 kg) on a 180 × 102 × 146 in (457 × 259 × 370 cm) pallet, the table assembly at 22,580 lb (10,242 kg) on a 376 × 82 × 99 in (955 × 208 × 251 cm) pallet, and the sheet metal in a separate 720 lb (326 kg) crate.
