How much does the Hyundai WIA L300C/LC cost?
Estimated price range
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 L300C/LC is the high-torque member of the L300 line: a gear-driven spindle rated 26 / 22 kW with 1,131 / 957 Nm, a 12 in chuck and a maximum machining diameter of 560 mm. Hyundai WIA's table covers two models, L300C and L300LC, with a single set of figures.
Torque is the reason to choose it. The L300MC/LMC/MSC has the same 12 in chuck but a belt drive, 22 / 18.5 kW and 787.3 / 465 Nm, so the geared L300C/LC has about 44% more at the first figure and roughly double at the second. The pairs are not labelled, but read in the usual way, as short-time and continuous ratings, the second figure is the one that matters. Holding 957 Nm where the L300MC/LMC/MSC falls to 465 Nm keeps a deep cut going across a large face, not only through a short burst.
Diameter is larger as well: 560 mm against the 500 mm of the L300MC/LMC/MSC. Rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z, and the turret takes 12 tools.
The table has gaps a buyer needs to close. It gives no travels and no machining length, so nothing in it shows how the L300C and L300LC differ; get the Z travel of each in writing. Spindle speed is absent too. A geared spindle specified for torque often has a modest top speed, so check it against the smallest diameters you turn.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,131 / 957 Nm of spindle torque through a gear drive
- 26 / 22 kW spindle power, against 22 / 18.5 kW on the L300MC/LMC/MSC
- 560 mm maximum machining diameter with a 12 in chuck
- 12 tools, with rapids of 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z
Limitations
- No X or Z travel and no machining length are listed for either model
- Spindle speed is not stated
- The table does not show what separates the L300C from the L300LC
- Gear drive only; the belt-driven 12 in models are the L300MC/LMC/MSC

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Hyundai WIA lists 1,131 / 957 Nm with 26 / 22 kW, through a gear drive. The second figure is only about 15% below the first, so the spindle keeps most of its torque between the two ratings. No spindle speed is listed, so the speed at which that torque is available has to be requested.
02
Both have a 12 in chuck and 12 tools. The L300C/LC is geared, with 26 / 22 kW, 1,131 / 957 Nm and 560 mm of machining diameter. The L300MC/LMC/MSC is belt-driven, with 22 / 18.5 kW, 787.3 / 465 Nm and 500 mm. Rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z on both.
03
The table does not show one. It lists the same spindle, chuck, machining diameter, rapids and tool capacity for both and gives no travels. Ask Hyundai WIA for the Z travel and machining length of each model, since those are the rows where two otherwise identical lathes normally differ.
04
560 mm, with a 12 in chuck. Within the L300 line that is the largest listed: the L300MC/LMC/MSC stops at 500 mm. Beyond it, the L600LA/LMA lists 920 mm with an 18 in chuck and 5,610 / 4,621 Nm.
