How much does the Star SR-20R II cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Star Micronics. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Star SR-20R II is a Swiss-type lathe for 20 mm (0.787 in) bar, listed with 25 tool positions including live tools, 32 m/min rapid traverse and a 10 kVA supply requirement. The maximum turning diameter is given as ø20mm (25/32in).
Tool count is the reason to look at this model. Having 25 positions on a 20 mm bar machine means a complex part, or two related parts, can stay set up without tool swaps between jobs. The SR-20R IV Type A/B goes further, with a 27-position station holding 41 tools on a 2,600 kg machine.
The table stops there. Spindle speed and power, headstock stroke, weight and control are not listed for the SR-20R II, so request them from Star before judging what the machine will cut.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 25 tool positions, including live tools, on a 20 mm (0.787 in) bar machine
- 32 m/min rapid traverse between cuts
- 10 kVA supply requirement
Limitations
- The SR-20R IV Type A/B lists more tooling, a 27-position station with 41 tools, against 25 positions here
- No spindle speed, spindle power, stroke or weight is listed, so cutting capacity cannot be read from the table
- Bar size is 20 mm (0.787 in) with no optional larger size shown

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table gives 25 tool positions, including live tools. It does not break that number down into turning, drilling and driven positions, so ask Star for the tooling layout to see how the 25 are divided.
02
Maximum bar capacity and machining diameter are both 20 mm (0.787 in), stated in the turning diameter row as ø20mm (25/32in). No optional oversize capacity appears in the table.
03
On the figures available, tooling. The SR-20R IV Type A/B is listed with a 27-position station and 41 tools, where the SR-20R II has 25 tool positions including live tools. Both are ø20mm (25/32in) machines. The SR-20R IV is listed at 2,600 kg; no weight is given for the SR-20R II.
