How much does the Hwacheon Vesta 1250 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Hwacheon. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Hwacheon Vesta 1250 is a BT 40 vertical machining center with 1,250 x 600 x 550 mm (49.2 x 23.6 x 21.7 in) of travel, a 1,400 x 600 mm (55.1 x 23.6 in) table and a 12,000 RPM spindle. Hwacheon's current product data does not include it, so it is most likely an older model, and the figures below come from a third-party listing rather than the maker. Anyone looking at a used machine should confirm them against the machine's own nameplate and documents.
The listed spindle is rated 30/25 kW (40/33 hp) and described as an in-house manufactured spindle. The guideway row is unusual: box guideways on Y and linear guideways on X and Z. A mixed layout like that is uncommon enough that it is worth confirming on the machine itself. Rapids are listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on Z.
The table is rated for 1,000 kg (2,205 lb), tools change from a 30-position ATC, and through-spindle coolant at 30 bar (435 PSI) is listed as optional, so check whether a given machine has it. The listed positioning accuracy is ±0.004 mm (±0.00016 in) with ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in) repeatability. Machine weight is 8,200 kg (18,078 lb), and the control is listed as Fanuc 0i-MF Plus.
For comparison, the current VESTA-1100 is listed with a 1,300 x 600 mm (51.2 x 23.6 in) table and an 18.5 / 11 kW (24.8 / 14.8 hp) spindle.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed spindle rating of 30/25 kW (40/33 hp) at up to 12,000 RPM
- 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of X travel over a 1,400 x 600 mm (55.1 x 23.6 in) table rated for 1,000 kg (2,205 lb)
- Rapids listed at 36 m/min (1,417 ipm) on X and Y and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) on Z
- Listed repeatability of ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in)
Limitations
- Not in Hwacheon's current product data, and the table comes from a third-party listing
- Through-spindle coolant at 30 bar (435 PSI) is an option, so a given machine may not have it
- The 30-position ATC is the only magazine listed
- Z travel of 550 mm (21.7 in) limits tall parts and long tool assemblies
