USED HAAS TM3P 2012
The 2012 HAAS TM3P is a versatile 3-Axis CNC Toolroom Mill designed to bridge the gap between a manual knee mill and a full production vertical machining center. Built by HAAS Automation, the TM Series is popular among job shops, maintenance departments, educational institutions, prototype manufacturers, and low-volume production facilities because of its ease of use, generous travels, and affordable operating costs. Equipped with a rigid cast-iron frame, CAT40 spindle, automatic tool changer, and the dependable HAAS CNC Control, the 2012 HAAS TM3P delivers excellent machining accuracy for milling, drilling, tapping, engraving, and light production work.
The machine offers 40 inches (1,016 mm) of X-axis travel, 20 inches (508 mm) of Y-axis travel, and 16 inches (406 mm) of Z-axis travel, providing one of the largest work envelopes in the HAAS Toolroom Mill lineup. Its 57.75 × 14.5-inch table supports workpieces weighing up to 1,000 lbs (454 kg), making it suitable for machining aluminum, steel, stainless steel, plastics, and composite materials. The enclosed work area, precision linear motion system, and intuitive controls make the TM3P an excellent solution for prototype work, fixture manufacturing, repair work, and short production runs.
The 2012 HAAS TM3P is powered by a 7.5 HP vector-drive spindle with a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM and utilizes a CAT40 spindle taper. Most machines are equipped with a 20-pocket carousel automatic tool changer, although earlier configurations may include a 10-tool ATC. Many used machines also feature factory-installed options such as Wireless Intuitive Probing System (WIPS), programmable coolant nozzle, chip auger, and 4th-axis drive, increasing versatility and reducing setup times.
The HAAS CNC Control provides conversational programming, USB connectivity, rigid tapping, intuitive operation, and full G-code compatibility. With simple programming and dependable performance, the 2012 HAAS TM3P remains one of the most popular CNC toolroom mills available on the used machinery market.
