The 2021 Haas VF-4SS is the Super-Speed variant of Haas's mid-size VF-4 vertical machining center, configured here with 50 inches of X-axis travel, 20 inches of Y, 25 inches of Z, a 12,000-RPM BT40 inline spindle driven by a 30 HP motor, a 24+1 side-mount automatic tool changer, and 1,400 IPM rapid traverses on all axes. Optioned with through-spindle coolant for deep-pocket and high-feed work, a Haas Wireless Intuitive Probing System for in-process inspection, a chip auger, an automatic tool presetter, an air gun, and the Haas Next Generation Control with high-speed machining and conversational programming enabled — and priced with tooling and vises — this VF-4SS is set up for aluminum and stainless production work straight off the truck.
Compared to the older standard-speed Haas VF-4, the SS variant brings the 12,000-RPM inline spindle and 1,400 IPM rapid traverses — meaningful upgrades over the older 8,100-RPM gear-driven spindle and slower rapids on the base VF-4. Layered on top, the through-spindle coolant prep, WIPS probing, chip auger, and tool presetter are options that quickly stack to a six-figure adder when ordering a comparably configured new VF-4SS today, making this 2021 build a meaningful price-to-capability win for shops chasing aerospace, fixture, and prototype work without the new-machine lead time.
