2013 Haas VF-2 CNC Vertical Machining Center

This 2013 Haas VF-2 is a 3-axis CNC vertical machining center built as a workhorse for small- and mid-sized job shops, with 30" by 16" by 20" XYZ travels, a 36" by 14" T-slot table that handles workpieces up to 3,000 lbs, and an 8,100 RPM CAT 40 spindle backed by a 22.4 HP vector drive. The 20-pocket carousel side-mount tool changer keeps drilling, tapping, and contouring cycles flowing through a single setup, while the included wireless intuitive probing system and tool probe shorten job changeovers on every new fixture. Through-spindle-coolant readiness, an integrated chip auger, and a pre-wired 4th-axis drive give the buyer multiple growth paths the day the machine drops onto the floor.

Compared to earlier Haas VF-2 builds from the late 1990s and early 2000s, this 2013 unit benefits from the refined Haas control with a faster block lookahead, a higher-resolution display, and improved coolant management compared to the original Visual Programming System builds. The integrated 4th-axis drive and wiring on this VF-2 give the buyer immediate access to a true rotary axis without a cabinet rebuild, and the custom ground plate for long-part setups is a finished workholding accessory that earlier VF-2 buyers had to fabricate on their own.
