How much does the Hyundai WIA L300A/MA/MSA cost?

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 L300A/MA/MSA is the 10 in chuck, 750 mm stroke group of the L300 line: 290 / 750 mm of X / Z travel, a 22 / 18.5 kW spindle and 12 tools. Three models carry these figures, L300A, L300MA and L300MSA, and Hyundai WIA's table separates them chiefly by how the spindle is driven.
The L300A has a gear-driven spindle. The L300MA and L300MSA are belt-driven. At the same 22 / 18.5 kW, a geared spindle is normally chosen for torque at low speed in large-diameter roughing and a belt for smoother running at higher speed. The table backs neither with numbers, because it has no torque or spindle speed row for this group. Ask for both before deciding.
Rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z on all three. The L300MSA row carries a third figure, 20 / 24 / 20 m/min, which means one more axis than X and Z. Hyundai WIA does not name that axis here or give its travel, so have it identified on the quotation.
Around this group, the L300LA/LMA/LMSA repeats the spindle power, chuck and drive split on a longer bed, 290 / 1,350 mm. For a 12 in chuck there are two routes: the L300C/LC, geared, with 26 / 22 kW and 1,131 / 957 Nm, and the L300MC/LMC/MSC, belt-driven, with 22 / 18.5 kW and 787.3 / 465 Nm.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Choice of spindle drive at the same 22 / 18.5 kW: gear on the L300A, belt on the L300MA and L300MSA
- 290 / 750 mm of X / Z travel behind a 10 in chuck
- 12 tools, enough for a full turning, grooving, threading and boring set with spares
- Rapids of 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z on all three models
Limitations
- No spindle speed or torque is stated for any of the three models
- Z travel is 750 mm; the L300LA/LMA/LMSA offers 1,350 mm with the same spindle power and chuck
- The third axis implied by the L300MSA rapid row, 20 / 24 / 20 m/min, is not named and has no travel listed
- The chuck is 10 in; a 12 in chuck means moving to the L300C/LC or the L300MC/LMC/MSC

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table shows two differences. The L300A has a gear-driven spindle, while the L300MA and L300MSA are belt-driven. And the L300MSA lists three rapid figures, 20 / 24 / 20 m/min, where the other two list 20 / 24 m/min. Spindle power of 22 / 18.5 kW, the 10 in chuck, 12 tools and 290 / 750 mm of travel are common to all three.
02
It depends on where your cutting happens. Gear drives are usually picked for heavy cuts at low spindle speed, belt drives for quieter running at higher speed. Hyundai WIA's table gives 22 / 18.5 kW for both and no torque or speed for either, so the choice cannot be made from the table alone: get the torque curve of each.
03
By Z travel. This group lists 290 / 750 mm of X / Z travel and the L300LA/LMA/LMSA lists 290 / 1,350 mm. Spindle power, the 10 in chuck, the 12 tools and the rapids are the same in both tables, and both have one gear-driven model and two belt-driven ones.
04
The row reads 20 / 24 / 20 m/min for the L300MSA against 20 / 24 m/min for the L300A and L300MA. A third rapid means a third moving axis, at 20 m/min. The table is headed for X and Z only and does not say what the axis is or how far it travels, so ask Hyundai WIA to specify it.
