USED HAAS TM3P – 2018
The HAAS TM3P – 2018 is a CNC toolroom vertical machining center designed to combine the flexibility of a manual-style toolroom mill with the precision and productivity of Haas CNC control. It is part of the Haas TM-P Series and is particularly well suited to job shops, prototype manufacturing, educational facilities, maintenance departments, tooling operations, and small-batch production.
The TM3P provides a substantial 40 inches of X-axis travel, 20 inches of Y-axis travel, and 16 inches of Z-axis travel, giving it considerably more working area than smaller TM-series machines. It uses a 40-taper spindle with a 6,000 RPM belt-drive system and 7.5 HP motor. Haas documentation identifies the TM3P with a 20-station carousel tool changer, although documented 2018 machines can also be found with 10-station configurations, so the actual ATC should be verified on an individual machine.
A documented 2018 TM3P has 40 x 20 x 16-inch travels, 6,000 RPM spindle, 7.5 HP motor, CT/BT 40 tooling, WIPS probing, rigid tapping, chip auger, and Haas CNC control. Some machines were equipped with 4th-axis drives and wiring, programmable coolant, air blast, and 20-pocket tool changers.

INDUSTRIES THAT USE HAAS TM3P
The HAAS TM3P is well suited to a wide range of machining environments, including:
- General job shops
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Defense
- Tool and die
- Mold manufacturing
- Industrial machinery
- Maintenance and repair
- Prototype manufacturing
- Educational facilities
- Fabrication
- Contract manufacturing
- Precision engineering
Its long X-axis travel is particularly useful for shops that frequently machine long plates, fixtures, rails, brackets, and tooling components.
TYPICAL PARTS HAAS TM3P CAN PRODUCE
The TM3P can produce:
- Brackets
- Mounting plates
- Fixtures
- Jigs
- Housings
- Flanges
- Tooling components
- Prototype components
- Machine bases
- Industrial brackets
- Automotive components
- Aerospace parts
- Long plates
- Custom production parts
Typical operations include face milling, pocketing, contouring, drilling, tapping, boring, reaming, slotting, and 3-axis profiling.
WHY CHOOSE HAAS TM3P
The primary advantage of the HAAS TM3P is its unusually large work envelope for a toolroom-oriented CNC machine. The 40 x 20 x 16-inch travels allow it to handle parts and fixtures that may be too large for smaller TM-series machines.
The 40-taper spindle and 7.5 HP, 6,000 RPM belt-driven spindle provide sufficient capability for general machining applications, while the Haas CNC control makes the machine easier to program and operate than a conventional manual toolroom mill.
Another benefit is flexibility. Depending on configuration, the TM3P can have WIPS probing, rigid tapping, 4th-axis capability, programmable coolant, chip auger, air blast, macros, and a 20-station tool changer. This makes a properly equipped machine useful for both prototype work and repeat production.
WHY BUY USED HAAS TM3P – 2018
A used 2018 HAAS TM3P can be an attractive option for manufacturers that need a large-travel CNC machine without moving to a substantially larger and more expensive VMC.
Because the machine is from 2018, it can offer a comparatively modern Haas control platform while retaining the simple and accessible design of the TM-P toolroom series. A documented example had fewer than 500 cutting hours, demonstrating that low-hour machines from this model year can still appear on the used market.
Before buying, inspect the spindle, ballscrews, linear guides, table, tool changer, drawbar, control, coolant system, chip auger, and electrical cabinet. For a used 2018 unit, request power-on hours, cutting hours, spindle hours, maintenance records, crash history, and a test-cut demonstration.
If equipped with WIPS, 4th-axis wiring, rigid tapping, chip auger, and a 20-tool changer, a used TM3P can provide significantly greater production capability than a basic configuration.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED HAAS TM3P – 2018 COST?
The used price of a 2018 HAAS TM3P varies considerably based on spindle hours, machine condition, ATC capacity, probing, chip management, rotary equipment, and included tooling.
A documented 2018 TM3P with less than 500 cutting hours was equipped with WIPS, rigid tapping, chip auger, HaasConnect, 1 GB memory, programmable coolant, and other options. Another 2018 machine is listed with a 20-pocket ATC, probing package, chip auger, 4th-axis drive/wiring, air blast, and programmable coolant.
Because used dealers do not consistently publish final transaction prices, the following is a practical market estimate rather than a verified sale price:
| USED HAAS TM3P – 2018 PRICE RANGE | ESTIMATED COST |
|---|---|
| High Hours / Basic Configuration | $30,000 – $38,000 |
| Functional Used Machine | $38,000 – $45,000 |
| Good Condition / Production Ready | $45,000 – $52,000 |
| Excellent / Well Equipped | $52,000 – $60,000 |
| Very Low Hours / Premium Configuration | $60,000+ |
For a 2018 HAAS TM3P in good working condition, I would estimate approximately $40,000–$55,000 USD.
For your inventory listing, I would recommend a practical estimated asking-price range of $45,000–$55,000 USD for a clean, operational machine.
A low-hour machine with 20-tool ATC, WIPS probing, 4th-axis capability, chip auger, programmable coolant, rigid tapping, air blast, and excellent mechanical condition could reasonably command $55,000–$60,000+.
A high-hour basic machine with a 10-tool changer, significant spindle wear, or mechanical/control issues could fall closer to $30,000–$40,000.
Best estimated listing value: $45,000–$55,000 USD.
The exact 2018 configuration should be verified before publishing the listing, especially the 10- versus 20-station ATC, spindle options, 4th-axis equipment, probing, chip-management system, and electrical configuration.
