Overview
The Haas VF-3SSYT is the extended-Y, extended-table Super Speed variant of the VF-3, combining 1,016 x 660 x 635 mm (40 x 26 x 25 in) of travel with a 12,000 RPM inline direct-drive spindle. The YT suffix means this machine gets 6 extra inches of Y-travel (26 vs 20 in) and a wider table compared to the standard VF-3SS, making it the ideal choice for shops that need both high-speed performance and deeper reach into parts.
The 22.4 kW (30 hp) inline direct-drive spindle delivers 122 Nm (90 ft-lbf) of torque at 2,000 RPM while spinning to 12,000 RPM. Like all SS models, the direct-drive eliminates belts and gears for smoother high-RPM operation and better surface finishes. The CT40/BT40/HSK-A63 taper accepts standard tooling shared across the Haas 40-taper platform.
The table measures 1,219 x 610 mm (48 x 24 in) with 7 T-slots on 80 mm centers. That 24-inch table width with 26 inches of Y-travel gives significantly more fixture layout flexibility than the standard VF-3SS with its 18-inch table and 20 inches of Y. Table load capacity is approximately 1,588 kg (3,500 lb), higher than the VF-3SS's 1,750 lb.
Rapid traverse runs at 30.5 m/min (1,200 ipm) on all three axes. The 30+1 SMTC posts 1.8-second tool-to-tool and 2.4-second chip-to-chip times. Max cutting feedrate is 21.2 m/min (833 ipm). At approximately 5,761 kg (12,700 lb), the VF-3SSYT is heavier than the VF-3SS, providing better vibration damping for the wider saddle and table. For shops that run the VF-3SS but wish they had more Y-axis depth and a wider table, the VF-3SSYT delivers exactly that. Specs derived from Haas Automation published data for the VF-3YT and SS platform.

Specifications sourced from haascnc.com — verified 2026-03-28
Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 26 inches of Y-travel gives 6 more inches of depth than the standard VF-3SS for wider parts and deeper reach
- 12,000 RPM spindle with 1,200 ipm rapids delivers full SS performance in a wider work envelope
- 48 x 24-inch table with 7 T-slots provides significantly more fixture layout options than the VF-3SS's 48 x 18-inch table
- 3,500 lb table load is double the VF-3SS's 1,750 lb, supporting heavier fixtures and tombstone setups
- 1.8-second tool-to-tool and 2.4-second chip-to-chip match the VF-3SS's fast tool change times
- 360 L coolant capacity is 73% larger than the VF-3SS, supporting longer unattended runs
Limitations
- Costs roughly $12K more than the standard VF-3SS for the extended Y and wider table
- 12,700 lb machine weight is 1,000 lb heavier than the VF-3SS, adding to shipping and installation cost
- 40-taper limits heavy steel roughing capability; no gearbox option on SS models
- Wider saddle and table mass slightly reduce dynamic acceleration compared to the narrower VF-3SS

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Base price starts around $100,000. With through-spindle coolant, probing, and common options, expect $115,000-$135,000.
02
The VF-3SSYT adds 6 inches of Y-travel (26 vs 20 in), a wider 48 x 24-inch table (vs 48 x 18), 7 T-slots (vs 5), double the table load at 3,500 lb, and 360 L coolant (vs 208 L). Spindle speed, rapids, and tool change times are the same. The SSYT costs roughly $12K more.
03
The VF-5SS has 50 inches of X-travel versus 40 on the VF-3SSYT, with the same 26 inches of Y. Both share the same 12K RPM spindle, 1,200 ipm rapids, and SMTC speeds. Choose the VF-5SS for longer parts; the VF-3SSYT saves money when 40 inches of X is sufficient.
04
The 30 HP spindle handles steel at lower RPMs with 122 Nm of torque. But the SS platform without a gearbox option is optimized for aluminum. For steel-dominant shops needing 26 inches of Y, consider the standard VF-3YT with the optional gearbox instead.
