2021 Haas VF-2SS CNC Vertical Mill w/ 4th Axis

The 2021 Haas VF-2SS is a high-speed, high-precision vertical machining center with 30-inch X, 16-inch Y, and 20-inch Z travels, powered by a 12000-RPM inline direct-drive CT-40 spindle delivering approximately 30 HP. It features a 30+1 side-mount tool changer, ultra-fast 1400 IPM rapids on all axes, cutting feeds up to 833 IPM, and a robust 1500-lb worktable (36" x 14"). The machine is wired for 4th-axis operation (rotary/trunnion table) and includes strong chip/coolant management (multi-auger chip evacuation, 55-gal coolant tank, programmable coolant/nozzles).

Compared to a standard VF-2 (10000-RPM spindle, fewer tools, slower rapids), the VF-2SS upgrades almost every axis: the spindle is faster, the tool changer holds more, rapids are significantly higher, and table load capacity is maximized. With 4th-axis readiness and tougher coolant/air/cycle features, it stands as a superior choice for job shops seeking shorter cycle times, better finish on high RPM work, and flexible multi-face machining without changing setups.
