How much does the Haas DC-3-40 Drill Center cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Haas DC-3-40 Drill Center that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Haas DC-3-40 Drill Center is a long-bed 40-taper drill center with 78.7 in (2,000 mm) of X travel, 19.7 in (500 mm) of Y and 11.8 in (300 mm) of Z. Haas has removed this model from its website, so it is no longer in the current lineup; the figures on this page were read from the product page before it was taken down. Anyone looking at a used DC-3-40 should treat them as the listed figures for the model, not as a description of a particular machine.
The format is a narrow machine for long work. The listed table is 82.7 × 19.7 in (2,100 × 500 mm) with five T-slots and a 1,323 lb (600 kg) load rating, which suits extrusions, rails and plates, or a line of fixtures worked from one end to the other. The Z stroke is short, with the spindle nose between 5.9 in (150 mm) and 17.7 in (450 mm) above the table.
The spindle is listed as a CT40 inline direct-drive unit: 15 hp (11.2 kW), 10,000 rpm and 52 ft-lbf (70.5 N·m) at 3,000 rpm. The turret changer holds 20 tools, with 1.5 s tool-to-tool and 2.5 s chip-to-chip times. Axis speeds are lower than on the shorter DC machines. Rapids are listed at 1,200 ipm (30.5 m/min) in X and 1,400 ipm (35.6 m/min) in Y and Z, with a 1,100 ipm (27.9 m/min) cutting feedrate, where the DC-2-40 rapids at 1,890 ipm (48 m/min).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 78.7 in (2,000 mm) of X travel over an 82.7 × 19.7 in (2,100 × 500 mm) table
- Listed table load of 1,323 lb (600 kg), against 772 lb (350 kg) on the DC-2-40
- CT40 spindle listed at 10,000 rpm with 52 ft-lbf (70.5 N·m) at 3,000 rpm, taking tools up to 11 lb (5 kg)
- 20-tool turret with listed change times of 1.5 s tool-to-tool and 2.5 s chip-to-chip
Limitations
- Removed from Haas's website and not part of the current lineup
- Z travel is 11.8 in (300 mm), far less than the 19.7 in (500 mm) of the DC-2-40
- X rapid of 1,200 ipm (30.5 m/min) is slower than the 1,890 ipm (48 m/min) of the DC-2-40, across an X stroke twice as long
- The listed figures give no machine weight or shipping size, so rigging has to be planned from the machine itself

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Haas has removed the DC-3-40 from its website, and the product page no longer loads. It is not in the current lineup. The specifications shown here were read from that page before it was removed, so they describe the model as it was last listed.
02
The listed travels are 78.7 in (2,000 mm) in X, 19.7 in (500 mm) in Y and 11.8 in (300 mm) in Z. The table is 82.7 × 19.7 in (2,100 × 500 mm) with five 0.63 in (16 mm) T-slots at 3.94 in (100 mm) spacing, and its listed load is 1,323 lb (600 kg).
03
A CT40 inline direct-drive spindle listed at 15 hp (11.2 kW), 10,000 rpm and 52 ft-lbf (70.5 N·m) at 3,000 rpm, with tapping to 5,000 rpm. The turret holds 20 tools up to 7.9 in (200 mm) long and 11 lb (5 kg). Tool diameter is listed as 4.3 in (110 mm), with 6.3 in (160 mm) given as the large-tool figure.
04
The listed supply is 220 VAC three-phase at 40 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 20 A. Air is listed at 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar) with an 80 psi (5.5 bar) minimum. Coolant capacity is 66 gal (250 L). Check the nameplate of a used machine, since these are figures for the model.
