How much does the Star SV-32R 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 SV-32R is a 32 mm (1.260 in) Swiss-type lathe listed with 26 tool positions, live tools included, and up to 10 axes including a B-axis, Y1, Y2, C1 and C2. The Y-axis stroke is ±12 mm.
The Y stroke deserves a second look on a machine of this bar size. On 32 mm stock, ±12 mm does not carry a cross tool's centreline all the way to the edge of the bar, so a hole or slot placed far off-centre on a full-diameter part may be out of reach. For most cross drilling, flats and keyways it is ample. Compare the largest offset on the drawing with that travel.
The table counts fixed and live positions together. It does not say how many of the 26 are driven or sit on the B-axis, which is worth establishing if the part has several angled features. Spindle speed, power, stroke and weight are also absent from the table.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
26 tool positions, including live tools. The table does not break that down into turning, live and back-working positions, so request the tooling layout if a job depends on a particular number of driven tools.
02
The Y-axis stroke is listed as ±12 mm. Both Y1 and Y2 are named in the axis row, and the table gives one stroke figure without saying whether it applies to both. On 32 mm (1.260 in) bar, that travel stops short of the bar's edge.
03
Yes. The axis row reads up to 10 axes including B-axis, Y1, Y2, C1 and C2. A B-axis lets driven tools cut at an angle to the bar, which removes the need for fixed-angle holders on inclined holes and faces.
