How much does the Hyundai WIA L700LA/LMA 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
Choose the Hyundai WIA L700LA/LMA for its chuck. It carries a 24 in chuck and 6,978 / 5,700 Nm of spindle torque on an envelope of 920 mm maximum machining diameter, 3,250 mm maximum machining length and 500 / 3,280 mm of X / Z travel. The L600LA/LMA lists 5,610 / 4,621 Nm with an 18 in chuck and the same 45 / 37 kW.
Because the power is equal, the gap between the two lies in how that power is geared and not in how much of it there is. The first torque figure here is about 24% above that of the L600LA/LMA. More torque from equal power arrives at lower spindle speed, which is where a large-diameter roughing cut on a heavy forging or casting takes place. Hyundai WIA's table gives no spindle speed, so compare the speed ranges before deciding.
The drive is listed as Belt + 3 Step Gear. A 24 in chuck earns its place when the workpiece is large or heavy at the gripped end: flanged shafts, big-bore tube, rolls with large journals. For shafts that are long but slim, the extra chuck size and torque go unused.
Rapids are 12 m/min (472 ipm) in X and in Z, and the turret holds 12 tools. As with any lathe of this length, the rows the table omits shape the installation: tailstock, steady rests, permitted workpiece weight and machine weight. Two models are listed, L700LA and L700LMA, and the table does not show how they differ.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 24 in chuck for large or heavy workpieces, against 18 in on the L600LA/LMA
- 6,978 / 5,700 Nm of spindle torque, about 24% above the first figure of the L600LA/LMA
- 920 mm maximum machining diameter and 3,250 mm maximum machining length
- 45 / 37 kW through a Belt + 3 Step Gear drive
- 500 / 3,280 mm of X / Z travel with 12 tools
Limitations
- Power is the same 45 / 37 kW as the L600LA/LMA, so the added torque comes at lower spindle speeds
- Spindle speed is not listed
- Rapids of 12 m/min (472 ipm) in both axes
- No tailstock, steady rest or workpiece weight figures in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Not in envelope. The L700LA/LMA lists 920 mm of machining diameter, 3,250 mm of machining length and 500 / 3,280 mm of travel, and the L600LA/LMA lists the same figures. Spindle power is 45 / 37 kW on both. What grows is the chuck, 24 in against 18 in on the L600LA/LMA, and the torque.
02
It lists 6,978 / 5,700 Nm. The L600LA/LMA lists 5,610 / 4,621 Nm, so the L700 is about 24% higher on the first figure and about 23% higher on the second. Both are rated 45 / 37 kW.
03
Belt + 3 Step Gear: a belt from the motor into a gearbox with three steps. The lowest step gives the listed 6,978 / 5,700 Nm, and the higher steps give speed for smaller diameters. The table does not state the spindle speed of any step, so ask Hyundai WIA for the full chart.
04
Everything about supporting and moving the workpiece. The table lists a 3,250 mm machining length and a 24 in chuck but no tailstock, steady rest, permitted workpiece weight or machine weight. Foundation, crane capacity and floor space all depend on those figures, so have them supplied with the quotation.
