USED HAAS ST40 – 2012
The HAAS ST40 – 2012 is a large-frame CNC turning center designed for machining medium-to-large diameter components while providing a substantial 44-inch turning length. The machine combines a 15-inch hydraulic chuck, large spindle bore, 4-inch bar capacity, 2-speed geared spindle, and a 12-station turret. Documented 2012 machines are available in both standard and higher-performance configurations, including machines equipped with the 55 HP Extra Performance spindle option.
The documented 2012 ST40 provides approximately 34.5 inches of swing over the bed, 25.5 inches of maximum turning diameter, and 44 inches of machining length. X-axis travel is approximately 17 inches and Z-axis travel is 44 inches, with rapid traverse rates of approximately 710 IPM on both axes.
The spindle uses an A2-8 nose, 2-speed gearbox, and 2,400 RPM maximum speed. Standard machines were available with a 40 HP spindle, while the documented 2012 machine with the Extra Performance option has a 55 HP spindle. The same machine is equipped with live tooling, C-axis capability, a programmable servo tailstock, rigid tapping, high-pressure coolant, and a belt-type chip conveyor.
With its large chuck, 4-inch bar capacity, high spindle power, and long turning envelope, the used HAAS ST40 can be suited to production of shafts, flanges, housings, sleeves, bushings, large fittings, and other cylindrical components used in industrial, automotive, energy, and general manufacturing applications.

INDUSTRIES THAT USE HAAS ST40
The HAAS ST40 is suited to manufacturers that require substantial turning capacity combined with the flexibility of CNC production. Its large chuck, 4-inch bar capacity, high spindle power, and long Z-axis travel make it useful for larger cylindrical components.
Common industries and applications include:
- Automotive manufacturing
- Oil and gas equipment
- Heavy equipment
- Industrial machinery
- Hydraulic equipment
- Power generation
- Agricultural equipment
- Aerospace component manufacturing
- General contract machining
- Metalworking and fabrication
The machine’s 25.5-inch documented turning diameter and 44-inch turning length allow it to accommodate considerably larger components than compact CNC turning centers.
TYPICAL PARTS HAAS ST40 CAN PRODUCE
The HAAS ST40 can be used to manufacture a wide range of large precision-turned components, including:
- Large shafts
- Drive shafts
- Hydraulic cylinders
- Bushings
- Sleeves
- Flanges
- Housings
- Bearing components
- Valve bodies
- Pump components
- Automotive components
- Industrial fittings
- Large rings
- Machinery components
Machines equipped with live tooling and C-axis capability can also perform secondary drilling, tapping, milling, and other cross-machining operations without removing the workpiece from the chuck.
WHY CHOOSE HAAS ST40
The HAAS ST40 provides a combination of large workholding capacity, long turning length, substantial spindle power, and a large spindle bore. The 15-inch chuck, 4-inch bar capacity, 25.5-inch turning diameter, and 44-inch machining length make it a useful platform for larger production components.
The 2012 configuration with the Extra Performance spindle adds a 55 HP motor, while live tooling, C-axis, programmable tailstock, rigid tapping, high-pressure coolant, and chip conveying can further expand the machine’s production capabilities.
WHY BUY USED HAAS ST40
Buying a used HAAS ST40 can give manufacturers access to a large-frame CNC turning center without the capital investment required for a new machine. Its 15-inch chuck and 4-inch bar capacity are particularly useful for shops that regularly work with larger-diameter stock and components.
Many used machines include valuable options such as:
- Haas CNC control
- 15-inch hydraulic 3-jaw chuck
- 12-station turret
- 55 HP Extra Performance spindle
- Live tooling
- C-axis
- 4,000 RPM live tooling
- Programmable servo tailstock
- Rigid tapping
- Tool pre-setter
- Belt-type chip conveyor
- 300 PSI high-pressure coolant
- Extended tool pocket
- Hybrid VDI/BOT turret
- Live tool holders
- Remote handheld MPG
- Bar-feed setup
Before purchasing, buyers should inspect the spindle, gearbox, chuck, turret indexing, live tooling, C-axis, tailstock, ballscrews, guideways, Haas control, tool pre-setter, coolant system, chip conveyor, and machine geometry. The exact options and condition can vary significantly between individual used ST40 machines.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED HAAS ST40 COST?
Public asking prices for used 2012 HAAS ST40 machines are not consistent. Several current and archived listings are offered on a request-for-quote basis rather than with a published asking price. For example, Prestige Equipment currently lists a 2012 ST40 with a 15-inch chuck, 12-station turret, chip conveyor, tool pre-setter, and bar-feed setup as request for quote.
The value of an individual 2012 ST40 can vary considerably depending on whether it has the standard 40 HP spindle or the 55 HP Extra Performance option, as well as live tooling, C-axis, tailstock, high-pressure coolant, tooling, chip conveyor, hours, and overall machine condition. A documented 2012 machine with live tooling and the 55 HP option was sold through Tramar Industries, but no public final sale price was provided.
