2018 Haas TM-3P CNC Vertical Mill

The 2018 Haas TM-3P is a toolroom-priced vertical mill that stretches forty-inch X, twenty-inch Y and sixteen-inch Z axes across a fifty-seven-point-eight-inch by fourteen-point-five-inch table carrying one-thousand pounds, yet fits through a ten-foot door thanks to its one-hundred-thirty-inch length and eighty-eight-inch depth. A direct-drive six-thousand RPM spindle with seven-point-five horsepower and thirty-three foot-pounds cuts quietly and holds four-to-twenty-inch clearance above the table for tall fixtures or the factory-wired fourth-axis rotary you may add later. Rapids of four-hundred IPM on all three axes and equal cutting feeds push a ten-tool umbrella changer that swaps tools in five-point-seven seconds, keeping prototype lead times short without breaking inserts. WIPS probing touches off cutters and stock in seconds, the automatic air gun blasts chips from pockets, and a high-flow coolant pump keeps the cut cool for stainless or tool steel.

Compared with Haas’s TM-2P—same spindle, horsepower and probing but only thirty-inch X stroke and eight-tool changer—the TM-3P extends X travel by ten inch, adds two tool pockets and lifts max table load to one-thousand pounds, letting you fixture larger plates or multiple vises without sacrificing the affordable open-frame concept that makes both machines popular in R-and-D cells.
