Overview
The Haas TL-3 is the large toolroom lathe: 29 in (737 mm) of swing, 63 in (1,600 mm) between centers and a 30 hp (22.4 kW) belt-driven spindle with an A2-8 nose and a 4.62 in (117.3 mm) bore. Bar capacity is 4 in (102 mm).
Diameter depends on what holds the tool. With a tool post the maximum turning diameter is the full 29 in. With the BOT turret it is 21 in (533 mm). Swing over the cross slide is 14 in (356 mm), and that is the figure for a long part the slide has to pass under. The turret rows describe an 8-station BOT unit that indexes in 1 s, with boring-bar rear clearance of 1.65 in (41.8 mm), or 5.27 in (133.9 mm) measured from the turret face.
The step up from the TL-1 is large in every direction. The TL-1 has a 16 in (406 mm) turning diameter, 30 in (762 mm) of Z travel, 10 hp (7.5 kW) and 108 ft-lbf (146 N·m) at 355 rpm. The TL-3 has 62 in (1,575 mm) of turning length, 16 in of X travel, three times the power and 300 ft-lbf (407 N·m) at 500 rpm, with a top speed of 2,000 rpm.
Thrust is 5,600 lbf (24,910 N) on X and 5,100 lbf (22,686 N) on Z. The tailstock has an MT5 taper and a manual quill with 7 in (178 mm) of travel, so tailstock drilling is hand-fed and the centre is set by the operator. A 16 in (406 mm) chuck is listed as an option.
The table gives three-phase supplies only: 70 A at 220 VAC or 35 A at 440 VAC. Air must be at least 80 psi (5.5 bar). For more torque and a bigger bore, the TL-3B has 1,400 ft-lbf (1,898 N·m) at 150 rpm and a 7.08 in (179.8 mm) bore but stops at 1,300 rpm. Haas's starting price for the TL-3 is US$59,995.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 29 in (737 mm) swing and turning diameter with a tool post, and 62 in (1,575 mm) of turning length
- 30 hp (22.4 kW) spindle with 300 ft-lbf (407 N·m) at 500 rpm and a 2,000 rpm top speed
- 4.62 in (117.3 mm) spindle bore and 4 in (102 mm) bar capacity
- 8-station BOT turret figures: 1 s index time and a 21 in (533 mm) turning diameter
- Thrust of 5,600 lbf (24,910 N) on X and 5,100 lbf (22,686 N) on Z
Limitations
- Turning diameter falls from 29 in (737 mm) to 21 in (533 mm) with the BOT turret
- Swing over the cross slide is 14 in (356 mm), less than half the 29 in (737 mm) swing over the front apron
- Tailstock quill is manual, with 7 in (178 mm) of travel
- Three-phase only in the table: 70 A at 220 VAC or 35 A at 440 VAC
- Peak torque is 300 ft-lbf (407 N·m); the TL-3B has 1,400 ft-lbf (1,898 N·m) at 150 rpm

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It is 29 in (737 mm) with a tool post and 21 in (533 mm) with the BOT turret. Swing over the front apron is 29 in and swing over the cross slide is 14 in (356 mm), so a long part that extends over the slide is limited to the smaller swing. Maximum turning length is 62 in (1,575 mm).
02
The TL-3 has an A2-8 nose, a 4.62 in (117.3 mm) bore, 4 in (102 mm) of bar capacity, 30 hp (22.4 kW), 300 ft-lbf (407 N·m) at 500 rpm and 2,000 rpm. The TL-3B has a 7.08 in (179.8 mm) bore, 7 in (178 mm) of bar capacity, 40 hp (29.8 kW), 1,400 ft-lbf (1,898 N·m) at 150 rpm and 1,300 rpm. Turning length is 62 in (1,575 mm) on both.
03
The TL-3P runs to 2,400 rpm and lists 60 in (1,524 mm) of turning length. The TL-3 runs to 2,000 rpm and lists 62 in (1,575 mm). Both have a 29 in (737 mm) swing, a 4.62 in (117.3 mm) bore, 4 in (102 mm) of bar capacity and a 30 hp (22.4 kW) spindle with 300 ft-lbf (407 N·m) at 500 rpm.
04
An MT5 tailstock with a manual quill that travels 7 in (178 mm). Distance between centers is 63 in (1,600 mm) and Z travel is 63 in. The table gives no tailstock thrust figure, which fits a hand-fed quill, so tailstock drilling depends on the operator.
05
The table lists 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A. Minimum air pressure is 80 psi (5.5 bar), and the inline air hose and coupler are 3/8 in. No single-phase supply is listed for this model.
