USED HAAS VF-5/40 – 2009
The HAAS VF-5/40 2009 is a large-capacity CNC Vertical Machining Center designed for milling, drilling, boring, tapping, pocketing, contouring, and precision production machining. The VF-5/40 provides significantly more working envelope than smaller VF-series models, making it particularly useful for manufacturers that need long X-axis travel and substantial table capacity while retaining the versatility of a standard 40-taper vertical machining center.
The 2009 HAAS VF-5/40 provides approximately 50″ (1,270 mm) of X-axis travel, 26″ (660 mm) of Y-axis travel, and 25″ (635 mm) of Z-axis travel. The machine uses a large approximately 54″ × 24″ table with a maximum evenly distributed table load of approximately 4,000 lbs. A typical 2009 configuration is equipped with a CAT40 spindle, 7,500 RPM spindle speed, 20 HP spindle motor, and 24+1 side-mount automatic tool changer.
The machine can also be equipped with valuable production options including a 2-speed gearbox, 300 PSI through-spindle coolant, Renishaw WIPS probing, chip auger, programmable coolant, rigid tapping, remote jog handle, spindle orientation, fourth-axis drive and wiring, macro programming, and intuitive programming functions. The standard X, Y, and Z rapid traverse rate is approximately 710 IPM, providing good positioning speed for production machining.
The HAAS VF-5/40 2009 is an excellent choice for manufacturers producing aerospace components, automotive parts, heavy equipment components, fixtures, molds, dies, industrial machinery components, large brackets, housings, and other precision parts requiring a large vertical machining envelope.

- 26″ Y-axis travel
- 25″ Z-axis travel
- 54″ × 24″ table
- 4,000 lb table capacity
- CAT40 spindle
- 7,500 RPM spindle
- 20 HP spindle motor
- 24+1 side-mount tool changer
- 2-speed gearbox
- Fourth-axis drive and wiring
- Chip auger
- 300 PSI through-spindle coolant
- Renishaw WIPS probing
- Programmable coolant
- Rigid tapping
- Remote jog handle
- Macro programming
- Spindle orientation
- Complete CAT40 tooling
Before purchasing, buyers should inspect the spindle, spindle bearings, CAT40 taper, drawbar, X/Y/Z-axis movement, ballscrews, guideways, automatic tool changer, Haas control, probing system, coolant system, chip auger, lubrication system, electrical cabinet, and overall machine geometry.
For a 2009 machine, spindle hours, servo hours, alarm history, maintenance records, previous crash history, tooling, and the condition of the control electronics should also be reviewed.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED HAAS VF-5/40 2009 COST?
The value of a used HAAS VF-5/40 2009 depends heavily on spindle hours, machine condition, spindle configuration, tool changer, fourth-axis equipment, probing, through-spindle coolant, chip-management system, tooling package, and maintenance history.
A current used example of a 2009 HAAS VF-5/40 is listed with 50″ × 26″ × 25″ travels, 20 HP spindle, 7,500 RPM spindle, 24+1 tool capacity, fourth-axis option, chip auger, 300 PSI through-spindle coolant, Renishaw probing, and other options, providing a useful reference for this model year.
For used-equipment listing purposes, a used HAAS VF-5/40 2009 can typically be expected to sell in the approximately $25,000 to $45,000 USD range, with the actual value depending heavily on condition, spindle hours, options, tooling, and location.
A low-hour machine with a healthy spindle, accurate X/Y/Z positioning, functioning 24+1 tool changer, Renishaw probing, fourth-axis capability, through-spindle coolant, chip auger, complete CAT40 tooling, and documented maintenance may command a premium. A higher-hour machine requiring spindle, ballscrew, servo, control, tool-changer, or electrical repairs may sell for considerably less.
