How much does the Pinnacle PK-L210A/BMY cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Pinnacle PK-L210A/BMY that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Pinnacle PK-L210A/BMY is a slant bed turning center with a VDI 30 live tooling turret and a Y axis of 80 mm (3.1 in), listed as ±40 mm. It mills, drills and taps on a turned part in the same chucking, using a C axis that positions to 0.001 degree.
The table covers two chuck sizes in one column, 8 in and 10 in, both on an A2-6 spindle with an 11 / 15 kW (14.8 / 20.1 hp) motor and 45 - 4,500 rpm. Bar capacity is Ø65 mm (Ø2.6 in). The M function speed row gives 5,000 rpm, which reads as the speed of the driven tools; Pinnacle does not label it further.
Adding the Y axis changes the machine around the spindle. Compared with the plain L210A, maximum turning diameter comes down from Ø440 mm (Ø17.3 in) to Ø330 mm (Ø13.0 in) and turning length from 610 mm (24.0 in) to 570 mm (22.4 in), while weight rises from 4,000 kg (8,818 lb) to 5,500 kg (12,125 lb). The turret has 12 stations where the L210A has 10.
X travel is 195 mm (7.7 in), printed as 165+30, and Z is 570 mm (22.4 in). The rapid speed row prints three values, 20 / 24 / 8 m/min, under an X/Z heading. The tailstock is programmable and driven by the saddle, with a hydraulic, programmable quill. Overall size is 3.8 x 1.7 x 2.3 m and the supply is 20 kVA.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Y axis of 80 mm (3.1 in), ±40 mm, for off-centre milling and drilling
- VDI 30 live tooling turret with 12 stations
- C axis positioning to 0.001 degree
- Programmable tailstock and hydraulic programmable quill
- Ø65 mm (Ø2.6 in) bar capacity at 45 - 4,500 rpm
Limitations
- Maximum turning diameter is Ø330 mm (Ø13.0 in), less than the Ø440 mm (Ø17.3 in) of the L210A
- No sub-spindle is listed, so the back of the part needs a second operation
- Y travel of ±40 mm limits how far off centre a feature can sit
- The third rapid value is 8 m/min, well below the 20 and 24 m/min of the other two

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Milling, drilling and tapping with driven tools. Pinnacle describes a VDI 30 living tooling turret with a Y-axis (±40mm) for eccentric operation and a C-axis with 0.001 degree positioning. The L210A is a plain X and Z lathe with a 10-station turret.
02
The chuck row lists 8 in and 10 in. The spindle nose is A2-6, the hole through the spindle is Ø77 mm (Ø3.0 in) and bar capacity is Ø65 mm (Ø2.6 in). The larger PK-L210C/DMY lists 10 in and 12 in chucks on an A2-8 nose.
03
Y axis travel is 80 mm (3.1 in), given as ±40 mm. X travel is 195 mm (7.7 in) and Z travel is 570 mm (22.4 in). Maximum turning length is also 570 mm (22.4 in).
04
A tailstock. The table lists an MT4 tailstock taper, and Pinnacle describes the tailstock as programmable and driven by the saddle, with a hydraulic quill that is programmable as well. No sub-spindle appears in the specification table.
