How much does the Gurutzpe GL 13 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Gurutzpe GL 13 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
Pipe and tube work is where the Gurutzpe GL 13 differs most from the size below it. The table lists a bar throughput of Ø 110 mm (4.3 in) and, in square brackets, Ø 360 mm (14.2 in); Gurutzpe names threaded pipes for the oil industry among the parts this lathe is built for. The rest of the envelope is Ø 1,300 mm (51.2 in) of swing over the bed and Ø 1,000 mm (39.4 in) over the carriage.
Between centres the GL 13 stops at the same figure as the GL 10, which is listed at ≤ 8 m (26.2 ft). What grows is the load. Part weight is given as 6/10/12 t (13,228/22,046/26,455 lb), a choice of capacities that has to be fixed when the machine is ordered.
The headstock is slower and stronger than the GL 10's. Its speed range is 0-1,000 rpm, a peak speed for 10 minutes with continuous running at 60% of peak. Motor power is 28/34 kW (37.5/45.6 hp) at S1/S6 and motor torque 5.3/6.5 kNm (3,909/4,794 lb-ft). As with the bar throughput, the table adds a bracketed alternative: 39/48 kW (52.3/64.4 hp) and 7.4/9.2 kNm (5,458/6,786 lb-ft). The page does not label the brackets. A reasonable reading is that they belong to a larger headstock, but that is for Gurutzpe to confirm.
Construction follows the GL pattern: hydrodynamic guiding, a monoblock cast-iron bed and Biplast-lined carriages with centralised lubrication. Steady rests are offered in open, closed, C-type, hydraulic, self-centring and hydrostatic forms, among others, and guarding can be front, surround or full.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Bar throughput of Ø 110 mm (4.3 in), with Ø 360 mm (14.2 in) listed in brackets as a larger alternative
- Part weight in three capacities: 6/10/12 t (13,228/22,046/26,455 lb)
- Swing over the carriage of Ø 1,000 mm (39.4 in), equal to the GL 10's swing over the bed of Ø 1,000 mm (39.4 in)
- Motor torque of 5.3/6.5 kNm (3,909/4,794 lb-ft) at S1/S6, with 7.4/9.2 kNm (5,458/6,786 lb-ft) in brackets
- A complete range of steady rests, including hydraulic, self-centring and hydrostatic types
Limitations
- Distance between centres is ≤ 8 m (26.2 ft); the GL 16 is listed at ≤ 15 m (49.2 ft)
- Peak speed is 0-1,000 rpm for 10 minutes, with continuous running at 60% of peak
- The standard bar throughput of Ø 110 mm (4.3 in) is smaller than the GL 10's Ø 130 mm (5.1 in)
- The table does not say what the bracketed power, torque and bore figures require, so the configuration must be settled with Gurutzpe

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Gurutzpe's table lists a bar throughput of Ø 110 mm (4.3 in) and adds Ø 360 mm (14.2 in) in square brackets. The page does not explain the brackets; the power and torque rows carry bracketed figures as well, which suggests a second headstock version. Ask Gurutzpe which bore comes with which motor.
02
The part weight row reads 6/10/12 t (13,228/22,046/26,455 lb). These are alternative capacities, not a range reached by one machine, so the weight class is part of the specification you order. The row sits under the tailstock heading of the table.
03
The GL 13 swings Ø 1,300 mm (51.2 in) over the bed, and its Ø 1,000 mm (39.4 in) over the carriage matches what the GL 10 swings over the bed. Both are listed at ≤ 8 m (26.2 ft) between centres. The GL 10 turns faster, at 0-1,400 rpm, and carries 5 t (11,023 lb); the GL 13 is listed at 0-1,000 rpm.
04
Motor power is 28/34 kW (37.5/45.6 hp) at S1/S6, with 39/48 kW (52.3/64.4 hp) in brackets. Motor torque is 5.3/6.5 kNm (3,909/4,794 lb-ft), with 7.4/9.2 kNm (5,458/6,786 lb-ft) in brackets. The speed range of 0-1,000 rpm is a peak speed for 10 minutes.
05
For the GL series Gurutzpe offers front, surround or full guarding, and an integral fairing is optional. The steady rest range covers open, closed, C-type, single, hydraulic, self-centring, white metal, hydrostatic and following types, chosen by the type, size and weight of the piece and by the machining process.
