Used Swiss-Type CNC Lathes For Sale
Swiss-type CNC lathes (also called sliding headstock or Swiss screw machines) are designed for high-precision, high-volume production of small turned parts. The sliding headstock design supports the workpiece close to the cutting tool with a guide bushing, enabling exceptional accuracy on long, slender parts. Swiss machines excel at medical device components, watch parts, electronic connectors, aerospace fasteners, and precision pins and shafts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Swiss-type lathe?
A Swiss-type lathe uses a sliding headstock that feeds bar stock through a guide bushing positioned close to the cutting tools. This supports the workpiece near the cut, minimizing deflection and enabling extremely tight tolerances on small-diameter, long parts. Swiss machines typically handle bar stock from 1mm to 38mm diameter.
How much does a used Swiss-type lathe cost?
Used Swiss-type CNC lathe prices range from $30,000-$75,000 for older models with fewer axes to $75,000-$200,000+ for late-model machines with 7+ axes, sub-spindle, and Y-axis. Citizen, Star, and Tsugami are the most sought-after brands. Contact Meadoworks at 800-323-0307.
