USED HAAS VF2 2013
The HAAS VF2 2013 is a CNC vertical machining center designed for precision milling, drilling, tapping, boring, pocketing, contouring, and general production machining. The VF2 is one of Haas Automation’s most popular vertical machining centers and is designed to provide a practical combination of machining capacity, spindle power, automatic tool changing, and compact floor-space requirements.
A documented 2013 HAAS VF2 provides 30 inches of X-axis travel, 16 inches of Y-axis travel, and 20 inches of Z-axis travel, with a 36 × 14 inch table. A 2013 machine listing specifies a 30 HP spindle, 8,100 RPM maximum spindle speed, CT/BT40 spindle taper, and 30-position automatic tool changer, along with a chip auger.
The HAAS VF2 2013 is suitable for job shops, aerospace, automotive, defense, medical, electronics, tooling, mold and die, robotics, maintenance, and general contract manufacturing. Its 30 × 16 × 20 inch work envelope provides useful capacity for small and medium-sized components.
Because individual 2013 machines can have different options and configurations, buyers should verify spindle hours, control generation, tool changer capacity, fourth-axis preparation, probing, coolant equipment, chip management, maintenance history, and machine condition before purchasing.

Its combination of useful travels, 30 HP spindle capacity, automatic tool changing, and compact footprint makes it suitable for both prototype and production environments.
TYPICAL PARTS HAAS VF2 2013 CAN PRODUCE
A HAAS VF2 2013 can produce aerospace brackets, automotive components, fixture plates, tooling components, manifolds, housings, molds, robotics parts, machine components, and general precision-machined parts.
Typical operations include milling, drilling, tapping, boring, pocketing, contouring, chamfering, engraving, and finishing.
With optional fourth-axis equipment, the VF2 can perform indexed or multi-sided machining while reducing the need for repeated manual repositioning.
WHY CHOOSE HAAS VF2 2013
The HAAS VF2 2013 offers a useful combination of a 30 × 16 × 20 inch machining envelope, 30 HP spindle, 8,100 RPM spindle speed, CT40/BT40 tooling, and automatic tool changing.
Its compact design makes it practical for job shops and production facilities that need a versatile vertical machining center without occupying the floor space required by a larger VMC.
The machine can also be configured with fourth-axis equipment, probing, chip augers, through-spindle coolant, and other options to improve productivity.
WHY BUY USED HAAS VF2 2013
Buying a used HAAS VF2 2013 can provide manufacturers with an economical way to add CNC machining capacity without purchasing a new vertical machining center.
The 2013 model remains attractive for shops that need a machine for prototype work, short production runs, fixtures, maintenance components, tooling, or repeat production. The VF2’s popularity also makes it relatively familiar to machinists and CNC programmers.
A documented 2013 VF2 was equipped with a 30-position automatic tool changer and chip auger, demonstrating that machines from this model year can have useful production-oriented configurations.
Before purchasing, inspect spindle condition, axis backlash, ballscrews, linear guides, machine geometry, tool changer operation, coolant system, lubrication, electrical cabinet, control functions, and maintenance records.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED HAAS VF2 2013 COST?
The price of a used HAAS VF2 2013 depends on machine condition, spindle hours, power-on hours, control configuration, tool changer capacity, fourth-axis equipment, probing, coolant options, tooling, and location.
Used-market pricing can vary substantially. A 2013 VF2 was discussed by a prospective buyer at approximately $40,000 USD, demonstrating that machines with desirable configurations and good condition can command significant prices. However, that figure was an asking price rather than a confirmed transaction price.
For used-equipment listing purposes, a reasonable estimated market range for a HAAS VF2 2013 is approximately $20,000 to $35,000 USD, depending on condition, hours, options, tooling, and accessories. A low-hour machine with probing, fourth-axis equipment, chip management, through-spindle coolant, and extensive tooling may command more, while a machine requiring spindle, axis, control, or electrical repairs may sell for less.
For a HAAS VF2 2013, buyers should evaluate the machine under power and verify spindle performance, axis accuracy, tool changer operation, control functionality, coolant delivery, lubrication, machine geometry, service history, and included options before determining its final market value.
