Overview
The Hyundai WIA L300LMA is a mid-size long-bed mill-turn turning center combining the L300A's 10-inch chuck capacity with live milling, Y-axis, and an extended bed that accommodates turning lengths up to 1,000 mm (39.4 in). This configuration makes the L300LMA one of the most versatile machines in the Hyundai WIA lineup — capable of handling long shaft components, large-diameter chucked parts, and complex prismatic features in a single setup.
The main spindle delivers 5,000 RPM with 18.5/15 kW (25/20 hp). The live milling turret provides up to 4,000 RPM and accommodates both standard turning tools and live milling heads in its 12-station BMT configuration. Y-axis travel of ±55 mm (±2.17 in) enables off-centerline milling that C-axis-only machines cannot accomplish, making the L300LMA suitable for complex shaft-type parts in hydraulics, aerospace, and precision manufacturing.
The FANUC 0i-TF Plus control with full C-axis, Y-axis, and live tooling support is standard. Linear guides in X, Y, and Z provide the speed and positioning accuracy required for combined turning and milling operations. Bar capacity of 76 mm (3 in) remains consistent with the standard L300A.
At $145,000-$180,000 new, the L300LMA commands a premium over the standard L300A that is justified when secondary VMC operations can be eliminated. The machine competes directly with the Mazak QT-300MY and DN Solutions Puma 2600LSMY. For shops running complex, multi-feature turned parts that currently travel to a VMC for secondary work, the L300LMA delivers a compelling total-cycle-time advantage.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 10-inch chuck with 16.9-inch turning diameter handles a wide range of medium-size chucked components in a single setup
- 1,000 mm (39.4 in) turning length accommodates long shafts and spindles that compact mill-turns cannot reach
- Y-axis travel of ±55 mm enables off-centerline milling, expanding the range of prismatic features achievable in one clamping
- 76 mm bar capacity is consistent with the standard L300A, covering most common bar stock diameters
- 18.5 kW main spindle provides strong material removal rates for turning roughing passes in steel and stainless
- FANUC 0i-TF Plus control with Y-axis and C-axis support offers a familiar, well-documented programming environment
- Combining turning and milling in one machine reduces work-in-process, setup labor, and part handling errors
Limitations
- $145K-$180K price point requires clear ROI analysis — high if secondary milling volume doesn't justify the upgrade
- 5,000 RPM main spindle is adequate for production turning but limits high-speed finishing on very small diameter features
- Live tool speed of 4,000 RPM is suitable for light milling but is not a replacement for a dedicated machining center on aggressive milling operations
- Y-axis travel of ±55 mm covers most applications but may constrain heavily offset features on large parts
- Long-bed configuration increases machine footprint versus the standard L300A — floor space planning required
- Programming complexity increases significantly with Y-axis and C-axis — operators and programmers require additional training

Frequently Asked Questions
01
New L300LMA mill-turn machines typically sell in the $145,000-$180,000 range depending on options and regional dealer pricing. The premium over the base L300A ($65K-$90K) reflects the live milling system, Y-axis mechanism, and long-bed configuration. The premium is typically recovered through elimination of secondary VMC setups on complex parts.
02
The L200LMA is built on the compact 8-inch chuck L200A platform with 800 mm turning length, suited for smaller diameter work and shorter shafts. The L300LMA steps up to a 10-inch chuck, 430 mm turning diameter, 76 mm bar capacity, and 1,000 mm turning length — better suited for medium-size chucked parts and longer shafts. Choose the L200LMA when compact footprint is the priority; choose the L300LMA when turning diameter and shaft length requirements demand more capacity.
03
For many part families, yes. The L300LMA handles turning, boring, facing, drilling, tapping, off-centerline milling, keyways, flats, and contoured milling in a single clamping. It is not a replacement for a full machining center on parts requiring deep pocket milling, large face milling, or very high spindle speed operations — but for shaft-type and turned components with moderate secondary milling, it routinely eliminates the VMC step.
04
The L300LMA provides ±55 mm (±2.17 in) of Y-axis travel. Y-axis capability allows the turret to position above or below the centerline of the spindle, enabling milling of features that are offset from the part centerline — something a C-axis alone cannot do. This is essential for machining eccentric holes, off-center slots, and complex cross-features on shaft and chucked workpieces.
