The 2018 Haas DT2 is a compact, high-speed CNC drill/tap machining center designed for fast production, precision machining, and exceptional reliability. Built with a rigid cast-iron frame, linear guideways, and a BT30 inline direct-drive spindle, the DT2 delivers rapid acceleration, short cycle times, and excellent accuracy for aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and engineering plastics. Compared to the DT1, the DT2 offers longer X-axis travel and a larger table, making it ideal for larger parts while maintaining the same high-speed performance. Equipped with a 20+1 side-mount automatic tool changer and the Haas Next Generation Control (NGC), the 2018 DT2 is widely used in aerospace, medical, electronics, mold making, and high-volume production applications.
The machine features 28 in (711 mm) of X-axis travel, 16 in (406 mm) of Y-axis travel, and 15.5 in (394 mm) of Z-axis travel. It is equipped with a 10,000 RPM BT30 inline direct-drive spindle producing 15 HP (11.2 kW) and a 20+1 side-mount automatic tool changer capable of extremely fast tool changes. With rapid traverse rates of 2,400 IPM (61 m/min), rigid tapping, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB connectivity, and HaasConnect remote monitoring, the 2018 Haas DT2 delivers outstanding productivity in a compact footprint.

WHY BUY USED HAAS DT2 2018
Purchasing a used Haas DT2 2018 provides manufacturers with a fast, reliable, and highly productive BT30 machining center at a significantly lower investment than buying new. The extended X-axis travel compared to the DT1 allows machining of larger workpieces while maintaining the rapid tool changes and high-speed performance that make the DT Series popular. Many used machines include factory options such as through-spindle coolant, Renishaw probing, chip augers, programmable coolant nozzles, rotary tables, and high-speed machining.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED HAAS DT2 2018 COST?
The value of a used Haas DT2 2018 depends on spindle hours, maintenance history, tooling, installed options, and overall machine condition.
Most used Haas DT2 2018 machines typically sell between $40,000 and $70,000, depending on condition, spindle hours, tooling package, and factory-installed options. Machines equipped with probing systems, through-spindle coolant, chip management systems, rotary tables, and documented maintenance records generally command premium resale values.
Before purchasing, buyers should inspect the spindle, linear guideways, ballscrews, lubrication system, automatic tool changer, coolant system, and machine geometry to ensure reliable long-term performance.
