How much does the Schaublin 42 CNC cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Schaublin. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Schaublin 42 CNC is a twin-spindle bar machine listed for 42 mm bar, with a 6,000 rpm main spindle, a 5,000 rpm counter spindle and 6 axes (X, Y, Z, X2, Z2, C). It does not appear in Schaublin's current lineup, and with no maker document to check against, the listed figures should be taken as unconfirmed.
The axis list is the interesting row. X2 and Z2 form a second axis pair, which together with the counter spindle allows the back of a part to be worked after it is cut from the bar. Y and C, with live tools turning at 6,000 rpm, allow off-centre drilling and milled flats without a second machine.
Maximum turning length is 200 mm and main spindle power is 7 kW. Seven kilowatts on 42 mm bar is a modest rating, adequate for free-cutting materials and finishing passes but slow for heavy roughing at full diameter. The spindle bore is 46 mm, leaving little clearance around full-size stock.
Positioning accuracy is listed at 0.002 mm, coolant pressure reaches 60 bar, and the machine weighs about 2,400 kg. The control row reads Fanuc 31i / NUM, so ask which is installed. The table shows no guide bushing row; confirm how the bar is supported before quoting long, slender parts.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Main spindle at 6,000 rpm and a counter spindle at 5,000 rpm for front and back machining
- 6 axes listed (X, Y, Z, X2, Z2, C), including a Y axis for off-centre features
- Live tools run at 6,000 rpm, matching the main spindle speed
- Listed positioning accuracy of 0.002 mm
- Coolant pressure up to 60 bar
Limitations
- Main spindle power is 7 kW, modest for 42 mm bar
- Maximum turning length is 200 mm
- No turret, tool count or guide bushing is listed, so the tooling layout is unknown from the table
- Does not appear in Schaublin's current lineup; the control is listed only as Fanuc 31i / NUM

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum bar diameter is listed as 42 mm, through a 46 mm spindle bore. Maximum turning length is 200 mm. The table does not say whether the bar runs in a guide bushing, so check the headstock arrangement on the machine.
02
Yes. The table lists a counter spindle speed of 5,000 rpm alongside a main spindle speed of 6,000 rpm. The axis row gives 6 axes (X, Y, Z, X2, Z2, C). Counter spindle power and bar capacity are not listed.
03
Main spindle power is listed as 7 kW. Live tools turn at 6,000 rpm, but no live tool power is given. For tough materials at the full 42 mm diameter, expect to take lighter roughing cuts than a higher-powered machine would.
04
The control row reads Fanuc 31i / NUM, meaning one of two systems. The model does not appear in Schaublin's current lineup and the listed figures are unconfirmed, so identify the control, and check the weight of about 2,400 kg, on the machine itself.
