Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Hyundai WIA. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Hyundai WIA HD3608/HD3608M pairs a long Z stroke with a slow, strong spindle: 1,350 mm (53.1 in) of Z travel, 295 mm (11.6 in) of X travel and a 2,500 RPM belt drive rated 26/18.5 kW (35/25 hp). Neither model is in Hyundai WIA's current lineup, and both may be older models. Read the listed figures as a guide to a used machine.
The two differ at the turret. The HD3608 has 10 stations, no live-tool row and a maximum turning diameter of 560 mm (22.0 in). The HD3608M has 12 stations with live tools at 5,000 RPM, and its turning diameter is 485 mm (19.1 in). Choosing the M therefore costs diameter and gains milling and drilling on the turned part.
Z travel is more than four times X travel, which marks this as a shaft machine. Long shafts need tail support, and the listed figures include no tailstock, steady rest or maximum turning length, so look at what is actually fitted. Rapids are 24 m/min (945 ipm) in X and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z, on box ways in both axes.
For scale, the current HD3100 Series lists the same 26 / 18.5 kW (34.9 / 24.8 hp) spindle power with 830 mm (32.7 in) of Z travel and 2,800 rpm. The HD3608 is the longer and slower machine. Chuck size, torque and weight are not listed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,350 mm (53.1 in) of Z travel for shaft work
- 560 mm (22.0 in) maximum turning diameter on the HD3608
- 26/18.5 kW (35/25 hp) belt-driven spindle
- HD3608M adds a 12-station turret with live tools at 5,000 RPM
- Box ways on X and Z with a 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) Z rapid over the long stroke
Limitations
- Neither model is in Hyundai WIA's current lineup, so supply is limited to used machines
- Spindle speed tops out at 2,500 RPM, which is low for small diameters
- The HD3608M gives up turning diameter, 485 mm (19.1 in) against 560 mm (22.0 in) on the HD3608
- The HD3608 turret has 10 stations and no live tools are listed for it

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The turret and the diameter. The HD3608 is listed with 10 stations and 560 mm (22.0 in) of maximum turning diameter. The HD3608M has 12 stations, live tools at 5,000 RPM and 485 mm (19.1 in) of turning diameter. Spindle, travels and rapids are the same on both.
02
The HD3608 and HD3608M are not in Hyundai WIA's current lineup and may be older models. In the current range the HD3100 Series lists the same 26 / 18.5 kW (34.9 / 24.8 hp) spindle power, but with 830 mm (32.7 in) of Z travel where the HD3608 has 1,350 mm (53.1 in).
03
Maximum turning diameter is 560 mm (22.0 in) on the HD3608 and 485 mm (19.1 in) on the HD3608M. X travel is 295 mm (11.6 in) and Z travel 1,350 mm (53.1 in). No maximum turning length is listed, and the distance between chuck and tailstock is always less than the stroke, so check it on the machine.
04
The listed figures point that way: 26/18.5 kW (35/25 hp) through a belt drive with a 2,500 RPM top speed, on box ways. No torque figure or chuck size is listed, though, and those are what set the depth of cut at 560 mm (22.0 in). Ask the seller for the spindle data plate or the original specification sheet.
