CNC Machining Centers & Lathes
Used Hyundai Wia VX500: Sell or Buy at Auction
Hyundai Wia is the machine tool division of the Hyundai conglomerate, producing a broad range of CNC lathes, vertical machining centers, and horizontal machining centers. Hyundai Wia machines are known for robust construction, competitive pricing, and strong North American dealer support. The L-series lathes and F-series machining centers are common in job shops and production environments.
The Hyundai Wia VX500 is a general-purpose vertical machining center that sits in the middle of the VX line, between the smaller VX400 and the larger VX650. It pairs roughly 1,060mm of X travel, 510mm of Y, and 635mm of Z with a 1,200 x 500mm table rated for about 1,760 lbs, so it handles a broad range of mid-size parts rather than only small work. The machine runs an approximately 20 hp, No. 40 taper spindle (CAT 40 on most U.S.-market units) turning up to 10,000 rpm, with a 12,000 rpm high-speed spindle offered as an option, a 24-tool automatic tool changer, and Fanuc control. Its rigidity and fast positioning come from linear roller guideways and an angular-contact-ball-bearing spindle built to hold accuracy with minimal heat growth, not from box ways as the machine is sometimes described. Shops searching for a used VX500 are usually already running Hyundai Wia or Fanuc equipment and want a proven 40-taper spindle they can put into production without retraining operators. Job shops, tool rooms, and automotive and general manufacturing suppliers keep bidding on it because it delivers real cutting capacity and a familiar control in a footprint and price point below Hyundai Wia's larger machines. KD Auctions regularly moves these units through its network of 500,000+ industry contacts, matching each listing to shops that run this class of machine and act quickly once bidding opens.

What is a used Hyundai Wia VX500 worth at auction?
Value depends on the machine's age, spindle hours, overall condition, control generation, and tooling package, including whether it carries the higher-speed spindle or 4th-axis wiring, so KD Auctions does not publish a flat number for the VX500. Sellers can request a free, AMEA-accredited and USPAP-compliant appraisal that documents both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), giving a defensible range before the machine ever goes to auction.
How does the VX500 compare to the VX400 and VX650?
All three share the same platform: linear roller guideways, a No. 40 taper spindle, and Fanuc control. The VX500 sits in the middle, with about 1,060 x 510 x 635mm of travel and a 1,200 x 500mm table. The VX400 is the smaller option for tighter cells and lighter parts, while the VX650 steps up to roughly 1,400mm of X travel and a 1,600 x 650mm table for larger workpieces. Shops usually choose the VX500 when they want more capacity than the VX400 without moving up to the floor space and price of the VX650.
