How much does the WFL M30 Millturn cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from WFL Millturn Technologies. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The WFL M30 Millturn turns Ø520 mm (20.5 in) over a nominal centre distance of 2,000 mm (78.7 in), and configuring it is almost entirely a question about the milling spindle. One turning drive is listed. Three milling spindles are.
All three milling versions share one power rating: 20 kW (26.8 hp) at 40% duty cycle and 15 kW at 100%. What changes is how that power is geared. The top speeds are 6,000, 9,000 and 12,000 rpm, and the torque figures are 250, 165 and 125 Nm at 40% duty cycle, or 190, 125 and 95 Nm at 100%. The table does not pair each speed with a torque, but with equal power the 250 Nm version has to be the slow one. Pick it for drilling, boring and larger cutters in steel, and the 12,000 rpm end for small tools and light alloys.
The turning spindle is rated 33 kW (44.2 hp) and 630 Nm (464.7 ft-lb) at 40% duty cycle, 29 kW and 550 Nm at 100%, up to 4,000 rpm. That is a moderate drive for a 520 mm swing. The M35 has the same turning diameter, the same 600 mm X and 250 mm Y, and adds a 54 kW (72.4 hp), 1,600 Nm (1,180.1 ft-lb) turning option, so heavy roughing at large diameter is a reason to look there instead.
Travels are 600 mm (23.6 in) in X and 250 mm (9.8 in) in Y, and the B-axis swivels from -110° to +110°. Tool magazines come with 40 or 80 stations. The M30-G variant is listed with a centre distance of 1,800 mm in place of 2,000 mm.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Three milling spindle versions with top speeds of 6,000, 9,000 or 12,000 rpm, each rated 20 kW (26.8 hp) at 40% duty cycle
- Up to 250 Nm (184.4 ft-lb) of milling torque at 40% duty cycle on the highest-torque version
- Ø520 mm (20.5 in) turning diameter between centres, equal to the 520 mm swing over the top slide
- B-axis swivel from -110° to +110° with 600 mm (23.6 in) of X and 250 mm (9.8 in) of Y travel
- Tool magazine with a choice of 40 or 80 stations
Limitations
- One turning drive only: 33 kW and 630 Nm at 40% duty cycle, 29 kW and 550 Nm at 100%. The M35 offers 54 kW (72.4 hp) and 1,600 Nm on the same swing
- Milling power is 20 kW on every version, so more speed means less torque: the options run from 250 Nm down to 125 Nm at 40% duty cycle
- The largest magazine has 80 stations
- Nominal centre distance is 2,000 mm (78.7 in), or 1,800 mm on the M30-G; the table lists no longer bed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Three, all rated 20 kW (26.8 hp) at 40% duty cycle and 15 kW at 100%. Top speeds are 6,000, 9,000 and 12,000 rpm. Torque is 250, 165 or 125 Nm at 40% duty cycle (184.4, 121.7 or 92.2 ft-lb), and 190, 125 or 95 Nm at 100%. The table does not state which speed goes with which torque; with equal power the highest torque belongs to the lowest speed, and it is sensible to have that confirmed in the quotation.
02
It is rated 33 kW (44.2 hp) and 630 Nm (464.7 ft-lb) at 40% duty cycle, and 29 kW and 550 Nm at 100% duty cycle, with a maximum speed of 4,000 rpm. Only this one drive is listed for the M30. Plan sustained roughing around the 550 Nm figure, not the 630 Nm one.
03
The table mentions the M30-G in the centre-distance row only: 1,800 mm against the nominal 2,000 mm of the M30. No other row gives a separate figure for it, so have the remaining specifications confirmed for that variant before relying on them.
04
The M35 keeps the Ø520 mm (20.5 in) turning diameter, 600 mm (23.6 in) X and 250 mm (9.8 in) Y of the M30, and adds a second turning drive rated 54 kW (72.4 hp) and 1,600 Nm (1,180.1 ft-lb) alongside the 33 kW, 630 Nm one. The M35 magazine list runs to 120 stations where the M30 stops at 80. If the work never needs more than 630 Nm at the chuck and 80 tools, the M30 covers it.
05
Swing over the top slide and maximum turning diameter between centres are both 520 mm (20.5 in), and the nominal centre distance is 2,000 mm (78.7 in). Y travel of 250 mm (9.8 in) covers a little under half of that diameter, so wide flats on the largest parts need the workpiece rotated between cuts.
