How much does the Hyundai WIA LV800AW-TT 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 LV800AW-TT is a turning center with a 22.5 in (572 mm) chuck, a built-in spindle rated at 55 kW (73.8 hp) and a top speed of 3,000 rpm. Maximum turning diameter and maximum turning length are both 650 mm (25.6 in), and tool capacity is listed as 8+8 tools.
The spindle figures tell you what the machine is for. Torque is 495 / 294 N·m (365.1 / 216.9 ft-lbf), a low figure for a chuck this size, while power and speed are high. That combination suits large-diameter parts cut at high surface speed with moderate cutting forces, such as light-alloy castings, and it rules out slow, deep roughing in steel at full diameter. The LV1400, for contrast, is listed with 8,035 / 6,515 N·m (5,926.6 / 4,805.5 ft-lbf) at only 492 rpm and 37 / 30 kW (49.6 / 40.2 hp).
Axis speed follows the same logic. Rapids are 30 / 30 m/min (1,181 / 1,181 ipm) on X/Z, the quickest among the neighbouring models: the LV4500 Series moves at 24/24 m/min (945 ipm) and the LV1400 at 12 / 12 m/min (472 / 472 ipm). X travel is 420 mm (16.5 in) and Z travel 650 mm (25.6 in), so Z covers the full turning length.
Tooling is the constraint to plan around. The 8+8 arrangement gives eight tools in each group, which is enough for a dedicated part family but leaves little spare for sister tools or mixed work. Hyundai WIA's table gives no live tool speed, table load or machine weight for this model, so those need confirming before fixtures and foundations are designed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 55 kW (73.8 hp) built-in spindle running to 3,000 rpm
- 22.5 in (572 mm) chuck with a 650 mm (25.6 in) maximum turning diameter
- 30 / 30 m/min (1,181 / 1,181 ipm) rapids on X/Z, against 24/24 m/min (945 ipm) on the LV4500 Series
- Z travel of 650 mm (25.6 in) equals the maximum turning length
- Tool capacity of 8+8 tools, enough for a dedicated part family
Limitations
- Spindle torque of 495 / 294 N·m (365.1 / 216.9 ft-lbf) is low for a 22.5 in (572 mm) chuck, limiting heavy roughing at large diameters
- 8+8 tools leaves little room for sister tooling or mixed part numbers
- Turning diameter stops at 650 mm (25.6 in); the LV1100 Series is listed at 1,160 mm (45.7 in)
- No live tool speed, table load or machine weight is given in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A 22.5 in (572 mm) chuck, with a maximum turning diameter of 650 mm (25.6 in) and a maximum turning length of 650 mm (25.6 in). X travel is 420 mm (16.5 in) and Z travel 650 mm (25.6 in).
02
The built-in spindle is rated 55 kW (73.8 hp) and runs to 3,000 rpm. Torque is 495 / 294 N·m (365.1 / 216.9 ft-lbf). High power with modest torque means the machine is at its best at high spindle speeds, not in low-speed heavy cuts.
03
Hyundai WIA lists the tool capacity as 8+8 tools. Plan the process so that each group of eight covers its share of the operations, because there is little spare capacity for duplicate tools.
04
30 / 30 m/min (1,181 / 1,181 ipm) on X/Z. Among the related models that is ahead of the LV500 Series at 20/18 m/min (787/709 ipm) and the LV1100 Series at 24/24 m/min (945 ipm).
05
The figures point the other way. With 495 / 294 N·m (365.1 / 216.9 ft-lbf) on a 22.5 in (572 mm) chuck, torque runs out quickly at large diameters and low speeds. For torque, the LV1400 is listed at 8,035 / 6,515 N·m (5,926.6 / 4,805.5 ft-lbf).
