Overview

The Haas TM-0 is the smallest of the Haas toolroom mills, a 40-taper vertical with 20 × 12 × 16 in (508 × 305 × 406 mm) of travel, a 4,000 rpm spindle and a shipping weight of 3,660 lb (1,660 kg). It is the entry to the TM range in every measurable sense: the shortest X and Y travels, the lowest weight, and no tool changer anywhere in Haas's table.

Y is the axis to look at first. At 12 in (305 mm) it is shorter than the 16 in (406 mm) of the TM-1, and it sits over a table 10.5 in (267 mm) wide with 3 T-slots on 4 in (102 mm) centres. One vise or a small fixture plate fills that width, so think of this as a one-setup-at-a-time machine. Z gives 16 in of travel, with the spindle nose running from 4 in to 20 in (508 mm) above the table. A vise, the part and the tool all have to fit inside that 20 in.

The spindle is belt driven, rated 7.5 hp (5.6 kW) with 33 ft-lbf (45 N·m) at 1,200 rpm, and takes CT or BT 40 tooling. Cutting feed and rapid traverse are the same figure, 200 ipm (5.1 m/min), so the machine moves no faster between cuts than in them. Over a short X stroke that costs little on single parts. Each axis is rated for 2,000 lbf (8,896 N) of thrust. The TM-0P has the same travels, table load and weight with a 6,000 rpm spindle, 400 ipm (10.2 m/min) rapids and a 10-pocket tool changer.

Installation is where the small toolroom mill earns its place. The TM-0 runs on 220 VAC single-phase at 40 A, as well as on 220 VAC three-phase at 25 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 13 A, and it needs 4 scfm of air at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar). Haas lists a starting price of US$39,995 for the base machine.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Runs on 220 VAC single-phase at 40 A; 220 VAC three-phase at 25 A and 440 VAC three-phase at 13 A are the other two supply choices
40-taper spindle (CT or BT 40) rated 7.5 hp (5.6 kW) and 33 ft-lbf (45 N·m) at 1,200 rpm
Ships at 3,660 lb (1,660 kg), against 4,440 lb (2,014 kg) for the TM-1
2,000 lbf (8,896 N) of thrust on each of X, Y and Z
16 in (406 mm) of Z travel, the same as the TM-1 and TM-2, with up to 20 in (508 mm) from spindle nose to table

Limitations

Y travel is 12 in (305 mm); the TM-1 gives 16 in (406 mm)
No tool changer appears in Haas's table for this model; the TM-0P is the version with a 10-pocket carousel
Rapids and cutting feed both stop at 200 ipm (5.1 m/min), half the 400 ipm (10.2 m/min) of the TM-0P
Table load is 350 lb (159 kg), which has to cover the vise or fixture as well as the part
A 4,000 rpm top speed holds back small cutters in aluminium

Best For

One-off and repair parts inside 20 × 12 × 16 in (508 × 305 × 406 mm) Shops with only 220 VAC single-phase power available Second-operation work that needs one or two tools per setup Prototype and training work where changing tools by hand is acceptable Parts and workholding under the 350 lb (159 kg) table limit

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Does the Haas TM-0 run on single-phase power?

Yes. Haas lists 220 VAC single-phase at 40 A as one of three supply choices. The other two are 220 VAC three-phase at 25 A and 440 VAC three-phase at 13 A. The single-phase option draws more current than either three-phase one, so size the breaker and wiring for 40 A.

02 What is the difference between the TM-0 and the TM-0P?

The TM-0P adds a tool changer holding 10 tools, raises spindle speed from 4,000 rpm to 6,000 rpm and doubles feed and rapid from 200 ipm (5.1 m/min) to 400 ipm (10.2 m/min). Travels of 20 × 12 × 16 in (508 × 305 × 406 mm), the 7.5 hp (5.6 kW) spindle rating, the 350 lb (159 kg) table load and the 3,660 lb (1,660 kg) weight are the same on the TM-0 and the TM-0P.

03 How large a part fits on the TM-0?

The cutting envelope is 20 in (508 mm) in X, 12 in (305 mm) in Y and 16 in (406 mm) in Z. The spindle nose sits between 4 in (102 mm) and 20 in (508 mm) above the table, so the part, its workholding and the tool must stack up inside 20 in. Part plus workholding may weigh up to 350 lb (159 kg).

04 How does the TM-0 compare with the TM-1?

The TM-1 has 30 in (762 mm) of X and 16 in (406 mm) of Y, against 20 in (508 mm) and 12 in (305 mm) on the TM-0. Z travel is 16 in (406 mm) on both the TM-0 and the TM-1, and so are the 4,000 rpm spindle, the 200 ipm (5.1 m/min) feedrate and the 350 lb (159 kg) table load. The TM-1 ships at 4,440 lb (2,014 kg), the TM-0 at 3,660 lb (1,660 kg).

05 What air supply does the TM-0 need?

4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), with a minimum supply pressure of 80 psi (5.5 bar). The inline air hose and the coupler are both 3/8 in. That is a modest demand, within reach of a small shop compressor that can hold pressure above the minimum.
