USED HAAS ST-40 – 2012
The HAAS ST-40 – 2012 is a heavy-duty CNC horizontal turning center designed for machining large-diameter and long workpieces. The ST-40 belongs to the large-capacity Haas ST Series and is built around a rigid machine platform intended for demanding turning applications in job shops and production environments.
A documented 2012 HAAS ST-40 Big Bore configuration is equipped with an 18-inch chuck, 7-inch spindle bore, 40 HP spindle motor, 1,400 RPM maximum spindle speed, A2-11 spindle nose, 17-inch X-axis travel, and 44-inch Z-axis travel. This particular configuration provides a 25.5-inch maximum turning diameter, 44-inch maximum turning length, and 34.5-inch maximum swing.
The large-bore configuration makes this machine particularly suitable for applications requiring substantial bar capacity and large spindle openings. A 7-inch bore allows larger-diameter material to pass through the spindle, making the machine useful for oilfield components, large shafts, pipe-related components, flanges, rings, and other heavy industrial parts.
The ST-40 uses a 2-speed gearbox to provide high torque at low spindle speeds while maintaining the flexibility required for general turning operations. The 40 HP spindle provides considerable cutting power for machining materials such as carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other industrial materials.
The machine can also be equipped with a hydraulic chuck, tailstock, chip conveyor, coolant system, tooling packages, and other production options. Exact equipment varies between individual 2012 machines.

WHY CHOOSE HAAS ST-40 – 2012
The HAAS ST-40 – 2012 is a strong choice for manufacturers that need a large-capacity CNC lathe capable of handling substantial workpieces and large-diameter material.
The 40 HP spindle, 7-inch Big Bore, A2-11 spindle nose, 18-inch chuck, 25.5-inch maximum turning diameter, and 44-inch turning length give the machine the capacity required for many heavy-duty turning applications.
The two-speed gearbox is especially valuable for heavy machining because it allows the machine to deliver substantial torque at lower spindle speeds. This makes the ST-40 appropriate for applications where cutting force is more important than high spindle RPM.
The machine’s large spindle opening also makes it particularly attractive for manufacturers working with large bar stock and tubular components.
WHY BUY USED HAAS ST-40 – 2012
A used HAAS ST-40 – 2012 can provide large-capacity turning capability at a significantly lower acquisition cost than a new large-frame CNC lathe.
Key advantages include:
- 40 HP spindle
- 7″ Big Bore configuration
- 18″ chuck
- A2-11 spindle nose
- 1,400 RPM spindle
- 25.5″ maximum turning diameter
- 44″ maximum turning length
- 34.5″ maximum swing
- 17″ X-axis travel
- 44″ Z-axis travel

When buying a used ST-40, inspect the main spindle, spindle bearings, chuck, hydraulic system, gearbox, turret indexing, X/Z ballscrews, linear guides, tailstock, lubrication system, coolant system, chip conveyor, CNC control, and electrical cabinet.
For a Big Bore machine, particular attention should also be given to the spindle bore, spindle liner configuration, chuck condition, workholding accuracy, and condition of the spindle nose.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED HAAS ST-40 – 2012 COST?
Used HAAS ST-40 machines from 2012 can vary substantially in price depending on configuration. The Big Bore version, spindle bore, chuck size, machine hours, tooling, chip conveyor, tailstock, and overall condition can all have a major impact on value.
A documented 2012 HAAS ST-40 Big Bore has been offered with an 18-inch chuck, 7-inch bore, 40 HP spindle, and 44-inch turning length, making it a more specialized configuration than a standard smaller-bore ST-40.
A reasonable market estimate for a used HAAS ST-40 – 2012 is approximately $45,000–$80,000 USD, with Big Bore machines in excellent condition, equipped with desirable accessories and low operating hours, potentially selling above this range.
The final price depends on:
- Machine condition
- Spindle condition
- Machine hours
- Cutting hours
- Chuck size
- Big Bore configuration
- Turret condition
- Gearbox condition
- Tailstock condition
- Chip conveyor
- Tooling included
- Coolant system
- Maintenance history
- Machine location
- Whether the machine is currently under power
For a 2012 ST-40, the exact configuration should always be confirmed before assigning a final market value, especially because the standard ST-40 and Big Bore versions can have significantly different spindle, chuck, and capacity specifications.
