How much does the Nakamura-Tome SC-200IIL cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Nakamura-Tome. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Nakamura-Tome SC-200IIL is the longer version of the SC-200II, turning 522.8 mm (20.6 in) against 317.8 mm (12.5 in) on the same 390 mm (15.4 in) turning diameter. It has two spindles set 800 mm (31.5 in) apart, so parts can be passed from one to the other and finished on both ends.
It also comes in three bar-capacity builds. The standard spindle takes 65 mm (2.6 in) bar with an 8 in chuck. The Ø71 mm option takes 71 mm (2.8 in) with a 10 in chuck, and the Ø51 mm option takes 51 mm (2 in) with a 6 in or 8 in chuck. The smaller build suits shops that run mostly small bar and want a lighter chuck for it; the larger one moves bigger stock onto the bar feeder. Either way the decision is made when the machine is ordered.
The spindle runs to 4,500 rpm on a 15 / 11 kW motor, or 18.5 / 15 kW as an option, and has an A2-6 nose. Driven tools are rated 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) with a milling spindle speed of 6,000 rpm, which covers drilling, tapping and light milling along a shaft. The table lists no Y-axis travel, so off-center features need confirming with Nakamura-Tome.
The longer bed adds weight and width: 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) and 3,787.5 × 1,967 × 2,225 mm (W × D × H). The SC-200II, for comparison, weighs 4,500 kg (9,921 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 522.8 mm (20.6 in) turning length on a 390 mm (15.4 in) turning diameter
- Three bar-capacity builds: 51 mm (2 in), 65 mm (2.6 in) standard and 71 mm (2.8 in)
- Driven tools rated 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) at up to 6,000 rpm
- Optional 18.5 / 15 kW spindle motor in place of the 15 / 11 kW standard
- Two spindles 800 mm (31.5 in) apart for finishing both ends of a part
Limitations
- Spindle speed tops out at 4,500 rpm, slow for small diameters
- Weighs 5,000 kg (11,023 lb), more than the 4,500 kg (9,921 lb) of the SC-200II
- Needs 3,787.5 mm of floor width
- No Y-axis travel is listed in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Three. The standard spindle takes 65 mm (2.6 in) bar with an 8 in chuck. The Ø71 mm option takes 71 mm (2.8 in) with a 10 in chuck, and the Ø51 mm option takes 51 mm (2 in) with a 6 in or 8 in chuck.
02
The SC-200IIL turns up to 522.8 mm (20.6 in) long, the SC-200II up to 317.8 mm (12.5 in), and the SC-200IIL weighs 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) against 4,500 kg (9,921 lb). Both list 390 mm (15.4 in) of turning diameter, 4,500 rpm and a 15 / 11 kW motor with an 18.5 / 15 kW option.
03
A2-6. The SC-200 table lists an A2-5 nose, so chucks and back plates from that machine will not carry straight over. Check the nose before buying chucks for a used machine.
04
The footprint is 3,787.5 × 1,967 × 2,225 mm (W × D × H), and the machine weighs 5,000 kg (11,023 lb). Add room at the left end for a bar feeder and check floor loading before delivery.
