OKUMA CAPTAIN L370M – 2008
USED OKUMA CAPTAIN L370M – 2008
The OKUMA CAPTAIN L370M 2008 is a heavy-duty CNC Multi-Function Turning Center designed to combine precision turning with live-tool milling, drilling, tapping, boring, threading, and C-axis machining. The CAPTAIN L370M is designed for manufacturers that need more capability than a conventional CNC lathe, allowing secondary milling and drilling operations to be performed without removing the workpiece from the spindle. This can reduce setups, improve feature alignment, and increase overall production efficiency.
The 2008 OKUMA CAPTAIN L370M provides approximately 20.86″ (529.8 mm) of swing over the bed, a maximum turning diameter of approximately 13.3″ (337.8 mm), and a maximum machining length of approximately 26.5″ (673 mm) on the documented 2008 configuration. The machine is equipped with an 8″ hydraulic three-jaw chuck, approximately 2″ bar capacity, A2-6 spindle nose, approximately 3.15″ spindle bore, 4,500 RPM main spindle, and 30 HP spindle motor. The X and Z axis travels are approximately 10.23″ (260 mm) and 20.47″ (520 mm) respectively.
The M configuration adds live tooling and full C-axis capability, allowing the machine to perform radial and axial milling, drilling, tapping, and other secondary operations. The 12-position turret can accommodate driven tooling, while the machine can also be equipped with a tailstock, bar feeder, chip conveyor, tool presetter, parts catcher, mist collector, and other production accessories. A typical 2008 machine is equipped with an OKUMA OSP-P200L CNC control.
The OKUMA CAPTAIN L370M 2008 is an excellent choice for manufacturers producing shafts, flanges, hydraulic components, pump components, valve bodies, automotive components, fittings, bushings, and other precision turned and milled parts.

- 30 HP main spindle
- 4,500 RPM main spindle
- 2″ bar capacity
- Full C-axis
- Live tooling
- 12-position turret
- Milling heads
- Tailstock
- Chip conveyor
- Bar feeder
- Tool presetter
- Parts catcher
- Mist collector

- Complete tooling package
A documented 2008 example is equipped with OSP-P200L control, 3-jaw chuck, bar feed, chip conveyor, tailstock, full C-axis, and milling capability, demonstrating the type of production package available on this model.
Before purchasing, buyers should inspect the main spindle, live-tool spindle, C-axis positioning, turret indexing, X/Z-axis movement, ballscrews, linear ways, chuck, tailstock alignment, hydraulic system, CNC control, coolant system, bar feeder, chip conveyor, and overall machine geometry.
Spindle hours, cutting hours, alarm history, maintenance records, tooling, and evidence of previous crashes should also be reviewed.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED OKUMA CAPTAIN L370M 2008 COST?
The value of a used OKUMA CAPTAIN L370M 2008 depends heavily on spindle hours, machine condition, main-spindle and live-tooling condition, C-axis accuracy, turret condition, CNC control, tailstock, bar feeder, chip conveyor, tooling package, and maintenance history.
Machines equipped with OSP-P200L control, full C-axis, live tooling, tool presetter, parts catcher, tailstock, chip conveyor, bar feeder, and complete tooling generally command higher resale values.
A documented 2008 OKUMA CAPTAIN L370M has been offered around $17,500 USD, providing a useful market reference for a used machine equipped with an OSP-P200L control, chuck, bar feeder, chip conveyor, tailstock, C-axis, and milling capability.
For used-equipment listing purposes, a used OKUMA CAPTAIN L370M 2008 can typically be expected to sell in the approximately $15,000 to $30,000 USD range, with the actual value depending heavily on condition, spindle hours, options, tooling, and location.
A low-hour machine with a healthy 30 HP spindle, accurate C-axis operation, functioning live tooling, reliable OSP control, complete tooling, bar feeder, chip conveyor, and documented maintenance may command a premium. A machine requiring spindle, live-tool, turret, ballscrew, control, hydraulic, or electrical repairs may sell for considerably less.
