2008 Doosan Puma 800L CNC Lathe

The Doosan Puma 800L is a heavy-duty horizontal CNC lathe with a reputation for the rigidity and dependability that large-part turning shops rely on across oilfield, energy, and heavy-fabrication work. This 2008 machine pairs a massive 12.5 in spindle bore and a 39 in 4-jaw manual chuck with 127 in between centers and a 35.4 in maximum turning diameter, giving it the envelope to handle long shafts, tubulars, and oversized flanges in a single setup. Power comes from a 60 HP spindle turning up to 750 RPM through a box-guideway bed for stable, chatter-resistant heavy cuts, while a 12-station BMT turret and a proven Fanuc 21i-TB CNC control keep tool changes and programming straightforward. A built-in tailstock, chip conveyor, and flood coolant system round out a machine built for demanding production turning.

Compared with the earlier Daewoo-era Puma large-frame lathes it descends from, the Puma 800L is a meaningfully stronger machine rather than just a newer one. Where those earlier lathes ran older controls and tighter work envelopes, the 800L steps up to the Fanuc 21i-TB control, a full 12.5 in spindle bore, a 39 in chuck capacity, and a reinforced box-way structure engineered for sustained heavy cutting. The result is more capacity, better rigidity, and simpler operation - real production advantages for any shop stepping into big-bore and long-shaft turning.
