Overview
The Haas ST-45S is a large-bore two-axis lathe on a short bed: 28 in (711 mm) of Z travel and turning length, a 30 in (762 mm) maximum turning diameter and a 7 in (178 mm) spindle bore behind an A2-11 nose. The spindle is rated 40 hp (29.8 kW) through a 2-speed gearbox, with 1,400 ft-lbf (1,898 N·m) at 150 rpm and a top speed of 1,400 rpm.
The ST-40S is the nearest relative, and the two share almost everything except the spindle. The ST-40S has the same 20 in (508 mm) of X travel, 28 in of Z, 35.5 in (902 mm) swing, 40 hp rating and 20,400 lb (9,253 kg) shipping weight, but an A2-8 nose, a 4.62 in (117.3 mm) bore and 2,400 rpm. The ST-45S bore is about 52% larger than the ST-40S bore, and the speed ceiling comes down to pay for it. Small-diameter work that needs rpm belongs on the other machine; large tube, pipe and hollow forgings belong here.
Workholding is not settled by the table. An 18 in (457 mm) chuck is listed as an option, and the kit rows for it give a 6.5 in (165 mm) draw tube bore and a 1,400 rpm limit. Bar capacity is therefore 6.5 in with optional workholding, not the full 7 in of the spindle.
The turret is a 12-station BOT type that takes OD and ID tools in any combination, with 4.5 in (114 mm) of rear clearance for boring bars. With a BMT75 turret the table gives a 27.5 in (699 mm) turning diameter instead of 30 in. The MT5 tailstock travels 26 in (660 mm) and applies between 200 lbf (890 N) and 3,000 lbf (13,345 N). Axis thrust is 5,500 lbf (24,465 N) on X and 9,000 lbf (40,034 N) on Z.
An XP option raises the spindle to 55 hp (41 kW) and 2,100 ft-lbf (2,847 N·m) at 150 rpm, 50% more torque at the same 1,400 rpm limit. It also raises the supply from 70 A to 105 A at 220 VAC, or from 35 A to 53 A at 440 VAC. Haas's starting price is US$162,995.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 7 in (178 mm) spindle bore on an A2-11 nose, against 4.62 in (117.3 mm) on the ST-40S
- 1,400 ft-lbf (1,898 N·m) at 150 rpm from a 40 hp (29.8 kW) spindle with a 2-speed gearbox
- 30 in (762 mm) maximum turning diameter and 35.5 in (902 mm) swing with 28 in (711 mm) of Z travel
- Thrust of 9,000 lbf (40,034 N) on Z and 5,500 lbf (24,465 N) on X for heavy roughing and drilling
- XP option lifts the spindle to 55 hp (41 kW) and 2,100 ft-lbf (2,847 N·m) at 150 rpm
- MT5 tailstock with 26 in (660 mm) of travel and up to 3,000 lbf (13,345 N) of thrust
Limitations
- Top speed is 1,400 rpm, against 2,400 rpm on the ST-40S, which holds back surface speed on small diameters
- The chuck is listed as an option, and the 6.5 in (165 mm) bar capacity depends on optional workholding
- Turning length is 28 in (711 mm); the ST-40 has 44 in (1,118 mm) on the same X travel
- The table gives X and Z travel only, with no live-tool or C-axis figures
- The XP option needs 105 A at 220 VAC or 53 A at 440 VAC, up from 70 A or 35 A

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The spindle. Both machines have 20 in (508 mm) of X travel, 28 in (711 mm) of Z travel, a 30 in (762 mm) maximum turning diameter and a 40 hp (29.8 kW) spindle rated 1,400 ft-lbf (1,898 N·m) at 150 rpm. The ST-40S has an A2-8 nose, a 4.62 in (117.3 mm) bore and a 2,400 rpm top speed. The ST-45S has an A2-11 nose, a 7 in (178 mm) bore and a 1,400 rpm top speed.
02
Bar capacity is 6.5 in (165 mm) with optional workholding. The spindle bore itself is 7 in (178 mm), but the 18 in (457 mm) chuck kit listed as an option has a 6.5 in draw tube bore, and that is the figure that limits stock passing through the chuck. The kit is rated to 1,400 rpm, the same as the spindle.
03
It raises the spindle rating from 40 hp (29.8 kW) to 55 hp (41 kW) and peak torque from 1,400 ft-lbf (1,898 N·m) to 2,100 ft-lbf (2,847 N·m), both at 150 rpm. Maximum speed stays at 1,400 rpm and the drive is still a 2-speed gearbox. Full-load current rises to 105 A at 220 VAC or 53 A at 440 VAC.
04
The base machine needs 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A. Air consumption is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), with a minimum supply pressure of 80 psi (5.5 bar) through a 3/8 in hose and coupler. Coolant capacity is 95 gal (360 L).
05
Haas lists a shipping weight of 20,400 lb (9,253 kg). The domestic pallet is 216.5 × 94.5 × 116 in (550 × 240 × 295 cm) and the export crate is 216.5 × 96 × 120 in (550 × 244 × 305 cm). These are shipping dimensions, not the installed floor space, so ask for the layout drawing before deciding where the machine goes.
