any comments on a Hyundai lathe?

Oct 26, 2009 3 Replies

we have a Hyundai mill and its the most unorthodox machine I have ever used. All traverse handles are in the gut position.

Looking at a used Hyundai HIT-18s lathe. 1995 with Siemens control. good/bad?



Thank You, Randy

Several of my customers have them and seem to be pleased with the performance and durability.

one major safety concern I have with the mill is the tool holder air release lever is 6" to the left of the spindle on lever...frightening what. When I run this machine and before tool changing I switch off the electric isolator, check the spindle start lever is at OFF and ONLY then use the air release lever.
