How much does the WFL M65 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 M65 MILLTURN combines an Ø830 mm (32.7 in) turning diameter with 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y travel, in turning lengths up to 4,500 mm (177.2 in). That Y stroke covers a large share of the swing, and it is the figure that separates this machine from its neighbours.
Y travel decides how much of a face or flank the milling spindle can reach before the workpiece has to be rotated. Here 600 mm of Y works against 830 mm of diameter. The M50 has 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y on Ø670 mm (26.4 in), and the M80 has 650 mm (25.6 in) on Ø1,000 mm (39.4 in). For wide flats, keyways well off centre and bolt patterns on large flanges, the M65 leaves less to be done by indexing. X travel is 720 mm (28.3 in), shorter than the 800 mm (31.5 in) of the M50 despite the larger swing.
The turning spindle runs to 2,600 rpm and is listed in two ratings: 40 kW (53.6 hp) with 2,318 Nm (1,709.7 ft-lb), and 60 kW (80.5 hp) with 2,748 Nm (2,026.8 ft-lb). That is 50% more power for about 19% more torque, so the larger rating helps most at higher speeds and adds little at the bottom of the range. The table does not state the duty cycle behind either figure. Ask which one is the continuous rating.
There is one milling spindle: 6,000 rpm, 30 kW (40.2 hp) and 315 Nm (232.3 ft-lb). The B-axis swivels from -110° to +90°, so it reaches further to one side than the other, which matters when planning angled work at either end of a part. Magazines hold 40, 80 or 120 tools, and overall machine size is listed as varying by configuration.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 600 mm (23.6 in) of Y travel on an Ø830 mm (32.7 in) turning diameter, so large off-centre features need less indexing
- Turning spindle listed at up to 60 kW (80.5 hp) and 2,748 Nm (2,026.8 ft-lb), with a 2,600 rpm top speed
- Turning lengths up to 4,500 mm (177.2 in)
- Milling spindle with 30 kW (40.2 hp) and 315 Nm (232.3 ft-lb)
- Tool magazine with 40, 80 or 120 positions
Limitations
- Only one milling spindle is listed, and its 6,000 rpm top speed limits small cutters and high-speed work in aluminium
- B-axis swivel is -110° to +90°, so reach is not the same in both directions
- X travel of 720 mm (28.3 in) is less than the 800 mm (31.5 in) of the M50
- Turning length stops at 4,500 mm (177.2 in); the M80 is listed up to 6,000 mm (236.2 in)
- Turning torque peaks at 2,748 Nm (2,026.8 ft-lb), below the 3,420 or 5,860 Nm of the M80

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum turning diameter is Ø830 mm (32.7 in) and turning length is listed as up to 4,500 mm (177.2 in). X travel is 720 mm (28.3 in) and Y travel is 600 mm (23.6 in). The table gives no workpiece weight, and overall size is stated as varying by configuration, so the bed length has to be fixed in the quotation.
02
Two are listed: 40 kW (53.6 hp) with 2,318 Nm (1,709.7 ft-lb), and 60 kW (80.5 hp) with 2,748 Nm (2,026.8 ft-lb). Top speed is 2,600 rpm. The table does not say whether these are two drive options or two duty-cycle ratings of one drive, so confirm what the continuous figure is before sizing roughing cuts.
03
One version is listed, with a top speed of 6,000 rpm, 30 kW (40.2 hp) and 315 Nm (232.3 ft-lb). It is carried on a B-axis that swivels from -110° to +90°. The speed suits medium and large cutters; very small tools in aluminium will run below their ideal speed.
04
The M65 is larger in diameter and Y: Ø830 mm (32.7 in) and 600 mm (23.6 in), against Ø670 mm (26.4 in) and 400 mm (15.7 in) on the M50. The M50 has more X, 800 mm (31.5 in) against 720 mm (28.3 in), a higher top turning torque of 3,600 Nm, and a longer list of magazine sizes that runs up to 200 tools.
05
Three magazine sizes are listed: 40, 80 or 120 tools. Tool length, diameter and weight limits are not given in the table, so check them for long boring bars and large face mills before choosing a size.
