Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$788,995 for the Haas VS-3-5AX (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-3-5ax#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
The spindle is rated 29 hp (21.6 kW) and reaches 20,000 rpm, but torque is 20 ft-lbf (27 N·m) at 7,500 rpm. That profile suits aluminium, plastics, composites and light finishing cuts in harder materials. For heavy cuts in steel on a similar table, the HDC-3-5AX has a 60 hp (44.7 kW) HSK-A100 spindle with 110 ft-lbf (149 N·m) at 3,000 rpm and a 6,000 rpm top speed.
B tilts ±120° at up to 112°/sec with 470 ft-lbf (639 N·m) of torque and a 454 ft-lbf (616 N·m) brake. C rotates from 245° to -245° at up to 208°/sec with 285 ft-lbf (386 N·m) of torque and a 442 ft-lbf (600 N·m) brake. Because C stops at 245° each way, tool paths that circle a part need an unwind move.
Both have 150 in (3,810 mm) of X, a 153 × 49 in (3,886 × 1,245 mm) table and a 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) load. The HDC-3-5AX has 106 in (2,692 mm) of Y and 43 in (1,092 mm) of Z, a 6,000 rpm HSK-A100 spindle and a 50+1 tool changer. The VS-3-5AX has 50 in (1,270 mm) in both Y and Z, a 20,000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle and a 70+1 changer.
The side-mount changer holds 70+1 tools in HSK-A63. Maximum tool diameter is 4 in (102 mm) with a full magazine and 10 in (254 mm) with the adjacent pockets empty, and maximum tool weight is 30 lb (13.6 kg). A change takes 6 s tool-to-tool and 15 s chip-to-chip. The table does not give a maximum tool length.
X rapids at 360 ipm (9.1 m/min); Y and Z at 600 ipm (15.2 m/min). Maximum cutting feedrate is 360 ipm (9.1 m/min). Thrust is 4,000 lbf (17,793 N) in X and Y and 6,300 lbf (28,024 N) in Z.
Power is 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A. Compressed air is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar) with a minimum of 80 psi (5.5 bar), through a 3/8 in hose and coupler. Coolant capacity is 95 gal (360 L).
