How much does the Hyundai WIA L300LA/LMA/LMSA 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
With 1,350 mm of Z travel behind a 10 in chuck, the Hyundai WIA L300LA/LMA/LMSA is the long version of the L300. Travel is listed as 290 / 1,350 mm in X / Z, the spindle is 22 / 18.5 kW and the turret carries 12 tools. The Z stroke is more than four and a half times the X stroke, which says plainly what the machine is for.
That work is shafts, and shafts raise questions the table leaves open. It has no maximum machining length, no tailstock or steady rest row and no bar capacity. A slender part that fills 1,350 mm of stroke needs support along its length, so settle the tailstock and rest arrangement with Hyundai WIA at the quotation stage and not after delivery.
Three models are covered. The L300LA drives its spindle through gears; the L300LMA and L300LMSA use a belt. Neither drive comes with a torque or speed figure. Rapids are 20 m/min (787 ipm) in X and 24 m/min (945 ipm) in Z, and at 24 m/min a full-length return along the bed is a noticeable share of a short cycle. The L300LMSA is listed with a third rapid, 20 / 24 / 20 m/min, for an axis that goes unnamed.
If the length is not needed, the L300A/MA/MSA lists the same 22 / 18.5 kW, 10 in chuck and 12 tools on 290 / 750 mm. If it is not enough, the L600LA/LMA goes to 500 / 3,280 mm with an 18 in chuck, 45 / 37 kW and 5,610 / 4,621 Nm, at 12 m/min rapids.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,350 mm of Z travel on a 10 in chuck machine, against 750 mm on the L300A/MA/MSA
- 22 / 18.5 kW spindle, geared on the L300LA and belt-driven on the L300LMA and L300LMSA
- 12 tools, so roughing, finishing, grooving and threading tools for a shaft stay mounted together
- X rapid of 20 m/min (787 ipm) and Z rapid of 24 m/min (945 ipm)
Limitations
- No maximum machining length, tailstock or steady rest data, on a machine laid out for long parts
- Spindle speed and torque are not stated for either drive type
- Spindle power stays at 22 / 18.5 kW; the L600LA/LMA lists 45 / 37 kW for heavier shaft work
- The extra axis implied by the L300LMSA rapid row is not identified

Frequently Asked Questions
01
1,350 mm, with 290 mm in X. The L300A/MA/MSA has the same X travel and 750 mm in Z. Hyundai WIA's table gives travel only and no maximum machining length, and the usable distance between chuck and tailstock is always shorter than the stroke, so ask for that dimension.
02
The L300LA. Its spindle drive is listed as gear, while the L300LMA and L300LMSA are listed as belt. All three share 22 / 18.5 kW. For long steel shafts cut at low surface speed a geared spindle is the usual choice, but the table gives no torque for any of them, so compare the curves.
03
The table does not say. It lists no tailstock, steady rest or follow rest. With 1,350 mm of Z travel and a 10 in chuck, parts will often be long relative to their diameter, so the support equipment is as important as the travel. Have it itemised in the quotation.
04
When the shaft is longer, larger or heavier than this machine suits. The L600LA/LMA lists 500 / 3,280 mm of travel, an 18 in chuck, 45 / 37 kW and 5,610 / 4,621 Nm. The L600LA/LMA is slower between cuts, though, with rapids of 12 m/min (472 ipm) in both axes against the 20 m/min (787 ipm) and 24 m/min (945 ipm) listed here.
