Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Citizen Machinery. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Citizen Cincom M32 listed on this page is the M32 without a generation suffix, a 32 mm (1.26 in) Swiss-type lathe with a sliding headstock, a gang tool post and a 10-station turret. Citizen's current lineup no longer uses the bare M32 name; it lists the series by variant, and this table mixes rows from those variants, so a used machine sold simply as an M32 should be identified by its full model plate before the figures below are relied on.
The rows that hold across the series describe the machine well enough. Bar capacity is 32 mm, with a 38 mm (1.50 in) oversize option. The headstock machines 320 mm per chucking. Main and back spindles each run to 8,000 rpm on 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10 HP) motors. The guide bushing is standard and a guide-bushless option is listed, which is worth confirming on a used machine: guide-bushless running suits short parts and lets the bar be used closer to its end. LFV chip breaking is listed as standard.
Driven tools are split three ways. Gang rotary tools run to 9,000 rpm on 2.2 kW (3 HP), turret rotary tools to 6,000 rpm on 2.2 kW, and back rotary tools to 6,000 rpm on 1.0 kW (1.3 HP). The control is Mitsubishi Meldas with Citizen software.
The machine is 2,860 x 1,465 x 1,900 mm (112.6 x 57.7 x 74.8 in) and weighs 4,300 kg, with a 79 A full-load current and a 100 A main breaker.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 32 mm (1.26 in) bar capacity with a 38 mm (1.50 in) oversize option
- Gang tool post plus a 10-station turret on one sliding headstock
- Guide bushing as standard with a guide-bushless option listed
- Matching 8,000 rpm main and back spindles on 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10 HP) motors
- Gang rotary tools to 9,000 rpm on 2.2 kW (3 HP)
Limitations
- The bare M32 name covers several generations; tool counts and axes differ between them and must be checked on the machine itself
- Back rotary tools have only 1.0 kW (1.3 HP) and 6,000 rpm
- 8,000 rpm spindle ceiling limits surface speed on small diameters
- 4,300 kg and a 100 A main breaker to plan for at installation

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The name alone does not say. Citizen's current lineup lists the series by variant, and this page's table mixes rows of more than one variant, for example axis counts that describe both multi-axis versions and a B-axis version. Read the model plate and the control's machine data to identify a used machine before comparing it with a spec sheet.
02
The table lists the guide bushing as standard and a guide-bushless option. A guide-bushless machine uses less bar per part as remnant and suits short work, while the guide bushing supports long slender parts over the 320 mm per chucking stroke. Check which configuration a given machine has.
03
Gang rotary tools run to 9,000 rpm on a 2.2 kW (3 HP) motor. Turret rotary tools run to 6,000 rpm, also on 2.2 kW. Back rotary tools run to 6,000 rpm on 1.0 kW (1.3 HP), so heavier back-end work is better done with the back spindle and stationary tools.
04
The listed dimensions are 2,860 x 1,465 x 1,900 mm (112.6 x 57.7 x 74.8 in) and the weight 4,300 kg. Electrically it draws a 79 A full-load current on a 100 A main breaker, and the pneumatic unit needs 0.5 MPa when stationary.
