The 2018 Hyundai WIA L300LMC is a long-bed live-tooling CNC turning center built for shops chasing off-center milling, deep-bore drilling, and tapping work in addition to standard turning — all in a single setup. Configured with a 10-inch hydraulic chuck on an A2-8 spindle nose, 3-inch bar capacity (76mm bore = 3.74-inch spindle bore), a 3,000-RPM main spindle driven by a 25 HP motor, 14.6 inches of max turning diameter over a 31.5-inch turning length envelope (long-bed configuration), 22-inch max swing over the bed, and 8.5 inches of X-axis travel paired with 32 inches of Z-axis travel, this LMC handles parts that overwhelm shorter L-series lathes. Equipped with a 12-station BMT65 live-tooling turret rated to 6,000 RPM, C-axis indexing, programmable tailstock with live center, chip auger / conveyor trough, hydraulic chuck on the main spindle, and the Fanuc 0i-TF control, this turning center is set up for prismatic-and-turn work in steel, aluminum, and exotics.
Compared to the older Hyundai/Daewoo Puma 300L platform that the L300 series replaced, the L300LMC delivers the modern Fanuc 0i-TF control over the older 21i / 18i units, plus the BMT65 turret interface in place of the older block-style toolholders that limited live-tooling speed and rigidity on prior generations. The "L" long-bed designation also brings meaningful turning length over the standard L300MC, while keeping the same C-axis and live-tooling capability — a real production force-multiplier for shops moving from a base lathe up to a true mill-turn center. Comparable USA listings of similar-config L300LMCs trade in the $134,900 range, with new build pricing around $150,000–$225,000 depending on options.
