How much does the WFL M150 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from WFL. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The WFL M150 is built around diameter: Ø1,480 mm (58.3 in) of turning diameter, 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y travel and turning lengths up to 12,000 mm (472.4 in), with an HSK-A100 milling spindle.
Its turning figures are the ones the M100 and M120 also carry: 103 or 113 kW (138.1 or 151.5 hp), 10,160 or 14,000 Nm (7,493.6 or 10,325.9 ft-lb) and top speeds of 1,000 or 1,600 rpm. On this machine that torque works at a larger radius. The same 14,000 Nm produces less cutting force at the rim of a 1,480 mm part than it does at full diameter on the Ø900 mm (35.4 in) M100, so depth of cut and feed at full diameter have to be planned with that in mind. The upside of size is speed: at this diameter a few hundred revolutions already give a high surface speed, and the 1,000 rpm ceiling of the slower version is rarely the limit.
Milling is where the extra room pays off. Y travel of 800 mm (31.5 in) compares with 650 mm (25.6 in) on the M120, which lets the spindle cross wider faces on big hubs, casings and crank webs without rotating the part. The milling spindle is listed at 45 or 55 kW (60.3 or 73.8 hp) with 500 or 730 Nm (368.8 or 538.4 ft-lb) and top speeds of 3,200, 5,000 or 8,000 rpm. The HSK-A100 interface suits the long, heavy tools such parts call for.
X travel is 1,120 or 1,150 mm (44.1 or 45.3 in). The B-axis swivels from -110° to +90°, and the magazine holds 36, 72 or 108 tools. Overall size is listed as varying by configuration.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Ø1,480 mm (58.3 in) turning diameter, the largest of the three models listed with the 103 or 113 kW turning spindle
- 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y travel for wide milled faces
- HSK-A100 milling spindle listed at 45 or 55 kW (60.3 or 73.8 hp) with 500 or 730 Nm (368.8 or 538.4 ft-lb)
- Milling speeds of 3,200, 5,000 or 8,000 rpm to choose from
- Turning lengths up to 12,000 mm (472.4 in) with 10,160 or 14,000 Nm at the turning spindle
Limitations
- Turning torque is the same 10,160 or 14,000 Nm listed for the M100 at Ø900 mm (35.4 in), so cutting force at full diameter is lower here
- B-axis swivel is -110° to +90°, not the same in both directions
- The magazine tops out at 108 tools
- Turning speed is limited to 1,000 or 1,600 rpm, which is slow for small-diameter sections of a part

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum turning diameter is Ø1,480 mm (58.3 in) and turning length is listed as up to 12,000 mm (472.4 in). X travel is 1,120 or 1,150 mm (44.1 or 45.3 in) and Y travel is 800 mm (31.5 in). No workpiece weight is given in the table, and at this size it should be confirmed together with the bed length.
02
HSK-A100. The spindle is listed at 45 or 55 kW (60.3 or 73.8 hp) with 500 or 730 Nm (368.8 or 538.4 ft-lb), and top speeds of 3,200, 5,000 or 8,000 rpm. The table does not say which power, torque and speed belong together; the 730 Nm version will be at the slow end.
03
No. Both machines are listed with 103 or 113 kW (138.1 or 151.5 hp), 10,160 or 14,000 Nm and 1,000 or 1,600 rpm. The M150 differs in size: Ø1,480 mm (58.3 in) against Ø1,140 mm (44.9 in), and 800 mm (31.5 in) of Y against 650 mm (25.6 in) on the M120.
04
Three things the table leaves open. X travel is given as 1,120 or 1,150 mm (44.1 or 45.3 in) without saying what selects each. Turning power, torque and speed are listed as pairs with no duty cycle. Overall size varies by configuration, so foundation and floor space depend on the bed length chosen.
