The Haas ST‑30 is a robust, mid-sized CNC turning center designed for shops that require increased capacity, power, and performance for demanding turning operations. Positioned between the smaller ST‑20 and the larger ST‑40, the ST‑30 strikes an ideal balance of spindle strength, chuck size, and bar capacity, making it one of Haas’ most popular lathes for general-purpose and heavy-duty applications.
With a powerful 40 hp vector spindle drive, 10″ chuck, and generous bar capacity, the ST‑30 can handle a wide variety of materials including steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and even exotic alloys. It’s built on a one-piece cast-iron base for rigidity and thermal stability, ensuring tight tolerances and long-term durability.
This machine is a favorite in aerospace, oil & gas, automotive, energy, and job shop industries where strength, simplicity, and versatility matter. The ST‑30 is also available in Y-axis (ST‑30Y) and sub-spindle configurations, making it adaptable to multi-operation environments.
