Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Goodway GA-3300 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Goodway GA-3300 is where the GA series changes frame. Turning diameter grows to Ø500 mm (19.7 in) from the Ø350 mm (13.8 in) of the GA-2800, X travel to 260 mm (10.2 in), and the spindle motor to 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) continuous with 22 kW (29.5 hp) available for 30 min. The chuck is 12 in, bar capacity is Ø90 mm (3.5 in) and top speed is 3,000 rpm.
No short-bed version exists at this size. Z travel starts at 630 mm (24.8 in) and continues through 930 mm (36.6 in) to 1,230 mm (48.4 in), for turning lengths of 625 mm (24.6 in), 925 mm (36.4 in) and 1,225 mm (48.2 in). The tailstock is heavier too. Its quill is Ø110 mm (4.3 in), it accepts an MT#5 live center or an MT#4 dead center, and the base travels 450 mm (17.7 in), 750 mm (29.5 in) or 1,050 mm (41.3 in) depending on the bed.
Goodway's description of the GA series leans on torque and rigidity: box ways, large servo-indexing turrets and, with the optional Cf-axis, a servo motor that the maker rates at 480 Nm for C-axis work. The base turret has 10 or 12 stations. The live tooling turret is a 12-station ER32 unit rated 40 ~ 4,000 rpm, and it is an option.
Swing over the bed is Ø600 mm (23.6 in). For a shop that needs the same envelope with more bore, the GA-3600 passes Ø105 mm (4.1 in) bar on this frame.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) continuous and 22 kW (29.5 hp) 30 min. spindle motor, the larger of the two GA motor ratings
- Ø500 mm (19.7 in) maximum turning diameter with 260 mm (10.2 in) of X travel
- Tailstock quill of Ø110 mm (4.3 in) taking an MT#5 live center
- Z travel up to 1,230 mm (48.4 in) for shaft work
Limitations
- Top spindle speed is 3,000 rpm, which limits surface speed on small diameters
- The shortest Z travel is 630 mm (24.8 in), so there is no compact chucker version
- Live tooling, C-axis and Y-axis are extra-cost variations (M and Y)
- Bar capacity is Ø90 mm (3.5 in); larger stock needs the GA-3600

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The GA-3300 sits on the larger GA frame. It turns Ø500 mm (19.7 in), has 260 mm (10.2 in) of X travel and an 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) continuous motor. The GA-2800 turns Ø350 mm (13.8 in) with 205 mm (8.1 in) of X travel and an 11 kW (14.8 hp) continuous motor, but runs faster, at 3,500 rpm.
02
Goodway lists 18.5 kW (24.8 hp) continuous and 22 kW (29.5 hp) on the 30 min. rating, with a maximum spindle speed of 3,000 rpm. The chuck is 12 in and the bar capacity Ø90 mm (3.5 in).
03
630 mm (24.8 in), 930 mm (36.6 in) or 1,230 mm (48.4 in). The maximum turning lengths that go with them are 625 mm (24.6 in), 925 mm (36.4 in) and 1,225 mm (48.2 in), and the tailstock base travels 450 mm (17.7 in), 750 mm (29.5 in) or 1,050 mm (41.3 in).
04
Yes, with the M or Y variation. Goodway describes it as a Cf-axis with a disk brake, driven by a servo motor rated at 480 Nm of torque, which engages in less than 2 seconds. It works together with the optional 12-station live tooling turret.
