How much does the Citizen Miyano BND-64 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Citizen Machinery. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Citizen Miyano BND-64 is the 64 mm member of the BND fixed-headstock family: its main spindle takes bar up to 64 mm (2.52 in) and its second spindle up to 51 mm (2.0 in), both running to 4,500 rpm. A 12-station turret with a Y axis carries live tools driven at 6,000 rpm. Citizen does not have the BND-64 in its current lineup.
The main spindle motor is rated 18.5/15 kW (25/20 hp), which suits the larger stock: roughing 64 mm bar takes more torque than 51 mm work, and that rating is what makes full-diameter cuts practical.The second spindle has an 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp) motor. Its 51 mm capacity is the number to check when quoting, because a part whose back end is larger than that where it is gripped cannot be transferred.
The turret moves 185 mm (7.28 in) in X with +40/-35 mm of Y, and rapids at 20 m/min (787 ipm). Live tools have a 2.2 kW drive, so cross holes, flats and light milling are realistic but heavy face milling is not. Compared with the Miyano BND-51SY, which lists 175 mm (6.89 in) of X, live tools at 5,000 RPM and a 6 in power chuck, the BND-64 has more X stroke and faster live tools, and it is listed with a Fanuc 0i-TF control.
The table gives the Z stroke in two different values and no clear machining length or machine weight, so confirm those on any machine offered. As a used machine, the control, spindle bearings and turret indexing are the first things to inspect.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 64 mm (2.52 in) bar capacity on the main spindle and 51 mm (2.0 in) on the second spindle
- 18.5/15 kW (25/20 hp) main spindle motor for roughing larger bar
- Live tools at 6,000 rpm and 185 mm (7.28 in) of X, against 5,000 RPM and 175 mm (6.89 in) on the Miyano BND-51SY
- Second spindle with an 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp) motor running to 4,500 rpm
- Y-axis travel of +40/-35 mm on the 12-station turret
Limitations
- Both spindles stop at 4,500 rpm, which limits cutting speed on small diameters
- Live tool drive is 2.2 kW, modest beside the 18.5/15 kW main spindle, so heavy milling is limited
- Not in Citizen's current lineup; Z stroke, machining length and weight are not stated clearly, so confirm them on the machine
- The second spindle takes 51 mm, so parts larger than that at the transfer point cannot be passed over

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The main spindle takes bar up to 64 mm (2.52 in) and the second spindle up to 51 mm (2.0 in). Both run to 4,500 rpm, the main spindle on 18.5/15 kW (25/20 hp) and the second on 11/7.5 kW (15/10 hp).
02
The Miyano BND-51SY lists 175 mm (6.89 in) of X travel, live tools at 5,000 RPM and a 6 in power chuck. The BND-64 has 185 mm (7.28 in) of X, live tools at 6,000 rpm and a Fanuc 0i-TF. Both are listed with a 12-station turret and 20 m/min (787 ipm) rapids.
03
A 12-station turret with live tools at up to 6,000 rpm on a 2.2 kW drive, and a Y axis of +40/-35 mm. That covers cross drilling, tapping and flats on large bar parts; heavy milling is beyond the drive.
04
The table gives the Z stroke as two different values and has no clear machining length or machine weight, so confirm those from the machine's documentation. Also check the Fanuc 0i-TF control, both spindles and the turret indexing.
