Overview
The Hyundai WIA F960B is a large-format horizontal boring and milling machine built for heavy-duty machining of large workpieces in steel, cast iron, and heavy alloys. Classified under Hyundai WIA's heavy-duty cutting lineup, the F960B is designed for energy, shipbuilding, heavy equipment, and large mold applications where massive material removal and workpiece scale exceed the capabilities of standard horizontal machining centers.
The F960B features a BT50 spindle with a boring bar capability, providing the rigidity needed for deep boring operations in large castings and fabrications. The spindle delivers 6,000 RPM with 37/30 kW (50/40 hp) of continuous power and high torque output exceeding 500 Nm at the low end of the speed range. The horizontal spindle orientation combined with a rotary B-axis table enables four-face machining of large box-type workpieces in a single setup.
Axis travels of 1,800 x 960 x 800 mm (70.9 x 37.8 x 31.5 in) define a generous work envelope on a 1,600 x 900 mm (63 x 35.4 in) rotary table rated for 5,000 kg (11,023 lb). The heavy-duty box way construction on all axes provides the vibration damping and rigidity essential for interrupted cuts and heavy facing operations on large castings. Rapid traverse of 20 m/min (787 ipm) reflects the machine's heavy-duty orientation where cutting force matters more than rapid speed.
At $350,000-$550,000 new, the F960B competes with horizontal boring mills from Doosan, Toshiba, and Kuraki. For shops machining large, heavy workpieces that exceed the capacity of standard 500-630mm pallet HMCs, the F960B provides a production-capable horizontal boring platform with FANUC control and competitive Korean pricing versus Japanese alternatives.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,800 mm X-travel and 5,000 kg table load handle large castings, fabrications, and mold bases that exceed standard HMC capacity
- 37 kW spindle with 530 Nm torque enables aggressive roughing in steel and cast iron with large-diameter face mills and boring bars
- Box way construction provides superior vibration damping for interrupted cuts and heavy facing on large, irregular castings
- Horizontal spindle orientation with rotary B-axis enables four-face machining in a single setup, reducing handling and setup time
- 60-tool chain magazine (expandable to 120) accommodates the diverse tooling requirements of large, complex workpieces
- Competitive pricing versus comparable Japanese horizontal boring mills from Toshiba and Kuraki
Limitations
- 28,000 kg machine weight requires significant foundation preparation and floor load capacity planning
- 20 m/min rapid traverse is slow compared to lighter HMCs — cycle times on programs with many non-cutting moves will be longer
- 6,000 RPM maximum spindle speed limits aluminum and high-speed finishing capabilities
- Large footprint requires substantial floor space that many smaller shops cannot accommodate

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Standard HMCs (like the Hyundai WIA HS5000) use 500-630 mm pallets and are optimized for medium-size production parts with fast pallet changes. The F960B is a horizontal boring mill with a much larger work envelope (1,800 mm X-travel), heavier table load (5,000 kg), higher spindle torque, and box way construction. It is designed for large, heavy workpieces that cannot fit on standard HMC pallets.
02
At 28,000 kg, the F960B requires a reinforced concrete foundation designed for the specific machine footprint, typically 400-600 mm thick with anchor bolt provisions. Consult Hyundai WIA for detailed foundation drawings. The floor must support both the machine weight and the maximum workpiece weight (5,000 kg) plus fixturing, totaling over 33,000 kg in the machine area.
03
Yes. The horizontal spindle with BT50 interface supports boring bars for deep-hole boring operations in large castings. Through-spindle coolant is available for improved chip evacuation during deep boring. The high torque (530 Nm) and rigid box way construction provide the stability needed for close-tolerance boring in steel and cast iron.
04
The F960B offers similar capabilities at a lower price point. Toshiba horizontal boring mills have a longer track record and stronger brand recognition in the heavy machining market. The F960B counters with competitive pricing (typically 20-30% less), FANUC control familiarity, and Hyundai Motor Group backing. For shops where budget is a factor, the F960B delivers comparable capability at lower capital cost.
