Overview
The Hyundai WIA L300LA/LMA/LMSA is the long-bed variant family of the L300 platform, extending the Z-axis travel to 1,350 mm to handle shaft work, long bar stock, and extended-length components that the standard-bed L300 series cannot accommodate. The L300LA is a 2-axis long-bed lathe, the L300LMA adds live tooling with C-axis, and the L300LMSA integrates both live tooling and a sub-spindle for complete part processing.
With maximum turning lengths of 1,320 mm (L300LA), 1,280 mm (L300LMA), and 1,250 mm (L300LMSA), these machines fill the gap between standard-length turning centers and dedicated long-bed heavy-duty lathes. The 10-inch chuck and 500 mm (L300LA) or 410 mm (LMA/LMSA) maximum turning diameter maintain the L300 platform's mid-size capability while the extended bed handles transmission shafts, hydraulic cylinders, and other elongated components.
The L300LA features a gear-driven spindle at 3,600 RPM producing 739/622 Nm of torque, while the L300LMA and L300LMSA use belt-driven spindles at 3,500 RPM with 493/415 Nm. All variants share 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) spindle power, box-way guideways, and 12-station turrets. The L300LMA/LMSA variants provide 4,000 RPM live milling capability, and the LMSA adds an 8-inch sub-spindle with extended Z travel.
Priced from approximately $85,000 for the L300LA to $175,000+ for the L300LMSA, these long-bed variants compete with the Mazak QT-300MSY, DN Solutions Puma 2600L, and Okuma LB3000 EX II MY in the mid-size long-bed turning segment. The Fanuc 0i-TF Plus control is standard, and the box-way construction ensures the rigidity needed for stable machining across the extended work envelope.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,320 mm maximum turning length handles long shafts and hydraulic cylinders that standard-bed machines cannot reach
- Gear-driven L300LA delivers 739 Nm torque for heavy roughing on long steel and stainless shafts
- Box-way construction maintains rigidity and vibration damping across the extended Z-axis travel envelope
- L300LMSA sub-spindle enables complete back-working on long parts without re-chucking
- Three-model family allows shops to choose the right complexity level for their part mix
- Fanuc 0i-TF Plus control provides consistent programming across all L300 platform variants
Limitations
- Larger footprint than standard-bed L300 variants requires additional floor space planning
- 3,500-3,600 RPM spindle speed limits surface speed on small-diameter finishing passes
- Long-bed variants carry a meaningful price premium over standard-length models
- Hyundai WIA's North American service network is smaller than major competitors like Haas and Mazak

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The L300LA handles turning lengths up to 1,320 mm (52 inches). The L300LMA accommodates 1,280 mm and the L300LMSA 1,250 mm — the slight reduction on each variant accounts for the additional tooling and sub-spindle hardware occupying Z-axis space.
02
The base L300LA long-bed lathe typically sells for $85,000-$110,000. The L300LMA with live tooling runs $120,000-$150,000. The L300LMSA with sub-spindle and live tooling reaches $155,000-$175,000+. Pricing varies by dealer region and option packages.
03
The primary difference is Z-axis travel: 1,350 mm versus 750 mm. Maximum turning length increases from 720 mm to 1,320 mm. Both share the same 10-inch chuck, spindle power, and box-way construction. The long-bed adds floor space and machine weight but uses the same control, turret, and spindle system.
04
Yes. The L300LMSA combines live milling with C-axis and an 8-inch sub-spindle. The sub-spindle picks up the part after main spindle operations, enabling back-working including facing, boring, and cross-drilling on the B-end without manual intervention or re-fixturing.
