How much does the Mazak SYNCREX 32/7 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Yamazaki Mazak. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Mazak SYNCREX 32/7 is a Swiss-type lathe for bar up to Ø1.25 in (32 mm) with a maximum turning length of 12.59 in (320 mm). It is the 27-tool model at the lower bar size of the Ø32 mm to Ø38 mm group on Mazak's series page, and both of its spindles run to 8,000 rpm on 5.5 kW (8 HP) (40% ED) motors.
Turning length is the reason to look at this size. At 12.59 in (320 mm) it covers shafts, pins and spindles that are long for their diameter, the kind of part that needs the support of a guide bushing close to the cut. Mazak's series page describes a removable guide bushing adapter, so the bushing can be preset outside the machine.
The 27 tools are 11 OD tools, 4 cross live tools and 4 back working tools, with boring bar holders for 4 tools at the main spindle and 4 at the sub. No end working tools appear in the breakdown. That makes this a turning-led configuration: plenty of OD positions, a short list for the second end. The SYNCREX 32/8 lists 36 tools and the SYNCREX 32/9 lists 39 tools on the same bar size and turning length. The SYNCREX 38/7 keeps the 27 tools, 8,000 rpm and 12.59 in (320 mm) and takes Ø1.5 in (38 mm) bar.
This is a substantial machine to install. It weighs 12,200 lb (5,534 kg), occupies 52 in (1,321 mm) × 99.2 in (2,520 mm) with the MAZATROL SmoothSt control and stands 78.9 in (2,004 mm) high, so door height and floor loading belong on the checklist. Rapid traverse is 1,378 ipm (35 m/min) on X, Y, Z, X2, Y2 and Z2.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 12.59 in (320 mm) of turning length for long, slender parts from Ø1.25 in (32 mm) bar
- 11 OD tools within a 27-tool list, suited to turning-heavy work
- Main and sub spindle both rated 5.5 kW (8 HP) (40% ED) at 8,000 rpm
- Rapid traverse of 1,378 ipm (35 m/min) on X, Y, Z, X2, Y2 and Z2
- Per Mazak, SYNCREX machines run full bar capacity with no special bar end prep
Limitations
- 27 tools with no end working tools in the breakdown; the SYNCREX 32/8 lists 36 tools
- Back working tools number 4, which limits second-end machining
- Spindle speed is 8,000 rpm, a limit on surface speed when turning small diameters on this larger machine
- Weighs 12,200 lb (5,534 kg) and stands 78.9 in (2,004 mm) high, so access and floor loading need checking
- The 5.5 kW (8 HP) figure is a 40% ED rating, with no continuous rating in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum turning diameter is Ø1.25 in (32 mm) and maximum turning length is 12.59 in (320 mm). Mazak's series page places the model in the Ø32 mm to Ø38 mm group. The SYNCREX 38/7 takes Ø1.5 in (38 mm) bar with the same turning length and the same 27 tools.
02
Mazak lists 11 OD tools, 4 cross live tools and 4 back working tools, and boring bar holders at 4 / 4 for main and sub. The table for this model has no end working tools row. The SYNCREX 32/8 lists 36 tools and the SYNCREX 32/9 lists 39 tools.
03
Both the main and the sub spindle run to 8,000 rpm. Each is rated 5.5 kW (8 HP) at 40% ED. The table has no continuous power rating and no figures for the cross live tools.
04
The footprint is 52 in (1,321 mm) × 99.2 in (2,520 mm), width by depth, with the MAZATROL SmoothSt control. Height is 78.9 in (2,004 mm) and weight is 12,200 lb (5,534 kg). Check the route into the building against the height, and leave room for a bar feeder in line with the spindle.
05
Mazak describes an HDCC machine base for the SYNCREX series, a solid one-piece casting. It states the base is 10% more rigid than cast iron with 80% less vibration at the cutting point and 30% longer tool life. Those claims are made for the series as a whole.
