How much does the Honor Seiki VL-66H cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Honor Seiki VL-66H 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 Honor Seiki VL-66H is the VL-66 with the widest swing, 850 mm (33.4 in), and the shortest turning height, 620 mm (24.4 in). Its turning diameter of 760 mm (29.9 in) matches the VL-66A/AR. Where the VL-66A/AR has 12 tool positions, the table lists 4/6/8 here.
Unlike the smaller VL-46H, this H model does not lose turning diameter. The VL-46H turns 460 mm (18.1 in) inside a 650 mm (25.6 in) swing; here the cut reaches 760 mm inside 850 mm. The price of the H layout on this frame is paid in height instead, well short of the VL-66A/AR at 750 mm (29.5 in), and in the number of tools available.
Few positions and a wide swing point at heavy, simple work. Roughing a cast flange, facing a brake drum or boring a wheel centre needs two or three stiff tools, not a dozen. The spindle range is 25-2,000 rpm on a 457 mm (18 in) chuck, with 650 kg (1,433 lb) allowed on the chuck, and Honor Seiki offers a dual speed gearbox and a spindle motor upgrade for buyers who need more at the low end.
The page leaves the 4/6/8 figure unexplained and prints one accessory list for all three VL-66 models, so items such as coolant through turret and servo turret may not describe the H as built. Settle the tool carrier, its position count and its coolant supply in the quotation. Spindle power, travels, weight and the standard control are not stated; a 31i series CNC and a Siemens controller are listed as options.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 850 mm (33.4 in) swing, against 800 mm (31.4 in) on the VL-66A/AR and VL-66M
- Keeps the full 760 mm (29.9 in) turning diameter of the VL-66A/AR
- 457 mm (18 in) hydraulic 3-jaw chuck and 650 kg (1,433 lb) load limit
- Optional dual speed gearbox and spindle motor upgrade for heavy cuts
Limitations
- Turning height is 620 mm (24.4 in), the lowest of the VL-66 models
- Tool positions are 4/6/8, fewer than the 12 of the VL-66A/AR
- The shared accessory list does not separate what applies to the H model
- No published spindle power, torque or axis travels

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Three rows change against the VL-66A/AR: swing is 850 mm (33.4 in) instead of 800 mm (31.4 in), turning height is 620 mm (24.4 in) instead of 750 mm (29.5 in), and tool positions are 4/6/8 instead of 12. Turning diameter, chuck, speed range and load limit are the same.
02
760 mm (29.9 in). Parts or fixtures up to 850 mm (33.4 in) across can rotate in the machine, but the area outside the turning diameter cannot be cut.
03
The listed range is 25-2,000 rpm. Honor Seiki says the spindle has a wide range motor with twice the torque of a general one, without giving a figure, and offers a dual speed gearbox for the spindle motor as an option.
04
The table prints 4/6/8 without further explanation. It most likely indicates a choice between tool carriers with different position counts, but the page does not confirm this. Ask Honor Seiki which count is in the quoted machine and what each option changes.
