Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Hyundai WIA. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Hyundai WIA KH500 is a horizontal machining center built around a 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) pallet, a 50-taper spindle and a 2-pallet APC. It is not in Hyundai WIA's current lineup, and the listed figures come from a third-party listing, not from the manufacturer. They also disagree with each other in several places, so read them as points to confirm on the machine in front of you.
Travel is the clearest case. One group of rows gives 630 mm (24.8 in) on each of X, Y and Z. Another gives 29.921 in on X, 27.756 in on Y and 25.591 in on Z. The spindle splits the same way: 12,000 RPM from a built-in motor rated 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) in the first group, 4,500 RPM and 24.8 hp in the second. The magazine is listed both as a 60-tool chain-type ATC and as 40 tools.
The second group matches the KH50G: 760 mm (29.9 in), 705 mm (27.8 in) and 650 mm (25.6 in) of travel, 4,500 rpm, 40 tools and 24.8 hp. A buyer should establish which description a given KH500 actually fits before planning work around it.
Some rows stand alone and are not contradicted: B-axis indexing of 1° with 0.001° as an option, linear roller guides, a maximum workpiece weight of 700 kg (1,543 lb), a rapid traverse of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm), and positioning accuracy of ±0.004 mm (±0.00016 in) with ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in) repeatability. Machine weight is listed as 26,000 kg (57,320 lb), a figure to check against the nameplate before arranging rigging.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) pallet with a 2-pallet APC, so one pallet can be loaded while the other is in the cut
- 50-taper spindle: the two taper rows read BT50 and NT#50 and agree on the size
- B-axis indexes in 1° steps, with 0.001° indexing listed as an option
- Linear roller guides and a listed rapid traverse of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm)
- Listed positioning accuracy of ±0.004 mm (±0.00016 in) and repeatability of ±0.002 mm (±0.00008 in)
Limitations
- The listed figures conflict on travel: one set of rows gives 630 mm (24.8 in) per axis, another gives 29.921 x 27.756 x 25.591 in
- Spindle speed appears as both 12,000 RPM and 4,500 RPM, and power as both 30/22 kW (40/30 hp) and 24.8 hp, so the spindle fitted has to be confirmed
- Tool capacity is listed as 60 tools in one row and as 40 tools in the other
- Not in Hyundai WIA's current lineup, and the table comes from a third-party listing

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. The KH500 does not appear in Hyundai WIA's current lineup, and one row of the listing marks it as a discontinued model. The figures here come from a third-party listing, so anyone looking at a used KH500 should confirm travels, spindle and tool capacity from the machine's own documentation.
02
The listed figures do not agree. One set of rows gives 630 mm (24.8 in) on X, Y and Z. Another gives 29.921 in on X, 27.756 in on Y and 25.591 in on Z. Measure the strokes or check the manual of the specific machine before planning a fixture around either set.
03
A 50-taper spindle; the taper rows read BT50 and NT#50. Speed and power are listed twice with different values: 12,000 RPM with a built-in motor at 30/22 kW (40/30 hp), and 4,500 RPM with 24.8 hp. Those describe very different spindles, so check the spindle nameplate.
04
Both use a 500 mm square pallet and a 50-size taper. The second group of KH500 rows matches the KH50G: 760 mm (29.9 in), 705 mm (27.8 in) and 650 mm (25.6 in) of travel, 4,500 rpm and 40 tools. The first group, with 630 mm travels and 12,000 RPM, does not.
05
The listed maximum workpiece weight is 700 kg (1,543 lb), on a 500 x 500 mm (19.7 x 19.7 in) pallet. The machine itself is listed at 26,000 kg (57,320 lb), a figure worth verifying before arranging transport or a foundation.
