How much does the Citizen Miyano LX-08E cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Citizen Machinery. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Miyano LX-08E is a two-axis (X, Z) fixed-headstock chucking lathe with an 8" hydraulic chuck, a spindle range of 40 to 4,000 min-1 and a tailstock. Citizen's current lineup does not include the LX-08E, so it will normally be bought used.
This is a plain turning machine. The axis list has only X and Z, so milled flats, cross holes and other off-centre features need a second machine. What it offers instead is a simple, compact package for chucked parts and for shafts supported at the tailstock: the slides travel 150mm on X and 300mm on Z, with rapids of 15 m/min and 20 m/min.
The turret takes square tools with 25mm Sq. shanks and boring bars in 40mm Dia. holes, and it indexes in 0.25sec./1pos. Besides the power chuck, collet chucks of the stationary or the draw type are listed to 51mm Dia.
The tailstock carries an MT.3 live center and its slide is rated at 4.9kN/1.9Mpa of thrust. With the tailstock in use, machining length is listed to 220mm. That thrust is modest, so long slender parts need light finishing passes rather than heavy roughing between centers.
The LX-08E weighs 2,820kg and fits in 1,620×1,480mm of floor, with a Mitsubishi M80 control. The Miyano LX-06E is the 6 inch chuck version, listed with the same 15 m/min and 20 m/min rapids.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 8" hydraulic chuck on a spindle running 40 to 4,000 min-1
- Tailstock with an MT.3 live center and 4.9kN/1.9Mpa of thrust, for parts up to 220mm long
- Turret indexing of 0.25sec./1pos.
- 25mm Sq. tool shanks and 40mm Dia. holes for boring bars
- Compact: 1,620×1,480mm of floor and 2,820kg
Limitations
- Two axes only (X, Z), so milled and off-centre features need a second operation elsewhere
- A 4,000 min-1 spindle limit is low for finishing small diameters
- Machining length with the tailstock is limited to 220mm

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Miyano LX-08E takes an 8 inch chuck and the Miyano LX-06E a 6 inch chuck. Both are listed with rapids of 15 m/min on X and 20 m/min on Z and with a Mitsubishi M80 control.
02
Yes. It takes an MT.3 live center and the tailstock slide is rated at 4.9kN/1.9Mpa of thrust. With the tailstock in place the machining length is listed to 220mm, so shafts can be turned between the chuck and the center.
03
The table lists collet chucks to 51mm Dia. in both the stationary and the draw type, alongside the 8" hydraulic power chuck. Check how a given machine is equipped before planning bar or collet jobs on it.
04
Square turning tools with 25mm Sq. shanks and boring tools in 40mm Dia. holes. The turret indexes in 0.25sec./1pos., and the slides travel 150mm on X and 300mm on Z at rapids of 15 m/min and 20 m/min.
