Overview
The Haas SB-35 is a 12 in (305 mm) chuck lathe with a 4.13 in (105 mm) spindle bore, 3.5 in (90 mm) of bar capacity and 30 in (760 mm) of turning length, from Haas's box-way series. Its 40 hp (29.8 kW) spindle is limited to 2,500 rpm, which says what the machine is for: larger diameters and heavier cuts, not small fast parts.
Peak torque of 425 ft-lbf (576 N·m) arrives at 325 rpm. On a part near the 13.5 in (345 mm) maximum turning diameter that spindle speed already gives a high surface speed, so full torque is available across the range a big part will run in. If it is not enough, Haas publishes a second figure for an optional gearbox, 1,400 ft-lbf (1,898 N·m) at 150 rpm. It is an extra, not part of the base specification.
X travel is 9 in (230 mm) and Z travel 32.3 in (820 mm), both with 7,780 lbf (34,607 N) of thrust. Rapids are 630 ipm (16 m/min) in X and 787 ipm (20 m/min) in Z. The swing is 23.6 in (600 mm), well above the turning diameter, which leaves room for chuck jaws and irregular castings.
Within the family the SB-35 is the middle step. The SB-28 has the same motor behind a 10 in (254 mm) chuck and 2.9 in (74 mm) of bar capacity, runs to 3,200 rpm and turns 21.3 in (540 mm). The SB-35L keeps this spindle and stretches turning length to 49.6 in (1,260 mm). The SB-35 table also lists BMT65 live tooling at 4,000 rpm and C-axis interpolation and positioning, but no Y axis. Y travel appears on the SB-35LY, with ± 2 in (± 50 mm), on a longer bed.
The tailstock in the table is MT5 with 23.6 in (600 mm) of travel and a 4.7 in (120 mm) hydraulic quill, and there are 39.2 in (995 mm) between centres. Shipping weight is 14,920 lb (6,767.7 kg). Haas lists a starting price of US$112,995.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 3.5 in (90 mm) bar capacity through a 3.58 in (91 mm) draw tube and 4.13 in (105 mm) spindle bore
- 425 ft-lbf (576 N·m) at only 325 rpm, so full torque is available on large diameters
- Optional gearbox listed at 1,400 ft-lbf (1,898 N·m) at 150 rpm, about 3.3 times the base torque
- 13.5 in (345 mm) maximum turning diameter and 30 in (760 mm) of turning length
- 100 gal (379 L) of coolant capacity for sustained heavy cutting
Limitations
- 2,500 rpm maximum; the SB-28 reaches 3,200 rpm on the same 40 hp (29.8 kW) rating
- Turning length stops at 30 in (760 mm); the SB-35L goes to 49.6 in (1,260 mm)
- No Y-axis row in the table, so off-centre milled features need the SB-35LY or a second operation
- Needs a 70 A supply at 220 VAC, or 35 A at 440 VAC three-phase
- The table lists live tooling and a C axis but does not say whether they come with the base machine; confirm on the quote

Frequently Asked Questions
01
425 ft-lbf (576 N·m) at 325 rpm from a 40 hp (29.8 kW) drive, with a top speed of 2,500 rpm. The table also lists 1,400 ft-lbf (1,898 N·m) at 150 rpm with an optional gearbox, which is about 3.3 times the base figure and is an extra.
02
When the part is longer than 30 in (760 mm). The SB-35L has 52 in (1,320 mm) of Z travel and 49.6 in (1,260 mm) of turning length with the same chuck, bar capacity and spindle; the SB-35 has 32.3 in (820 mm) of Z. The SB-35L ships at 16,425 lb (7,450 kg) against 14,920 lb (6,767.7 kg) for the SB-35.
03
The table lists BMT65 live tooling at 4,000 rpm and a C axis with interpolated motion and positioning, which covers cross holes, flats and face patterns on the centreline. It lists no Y axis. Check with Haas which of these the quoted machine includes.
04
4.13 in (105 mm), with a draw tube bore of 3.58 in (91 mm) and a bar capacity of 3.5 in (90 mm). The spindle nose is A2-8 and the chuck is 12 in (305 mm). By comparison the SB-28 has a 3.39 in (86 mm) bore and 2.9 in (74 mm) of bar capacity.
05
Shipping weight is 14,920 lb (6,767.7 kg). Haas gives one pallet size for domestic and export shipment, 191 × 90 × 84 in (485 × 229 × 213 cm). Those are crate figures and not the installed size of the machine.
