2020 Star SR-38 Type A CNC Lathe

Star’s SR-38 Type A is engineered for complex, mid-diameter work that smaller Swiss lathes simply can’t touch. Its 10-Axis architecture pairs a 7,000 rpm, 14.8 HP main spindle with a matching sub, a fully programmable B-axis, and an independent X3 slide so you can rough and finish simultaneously, mill flats, drill radial holes, and cut precise angles—all while the part advances just microns past a rigid guide bushing. A 12.6" stroke and 40-tool capacity mean parts up to 12.598" long leave the machine complete, eliminating secondary ops.

This 2020 build is dressed for round-the-clock profit: an FMB Turbo loader feeds bar after bar; 1,000-psi coolant blasts chips clear; Tri-Mist extraction keeps the air pristine; and Firetrace suppression protects your investment. Combine lightning-fast 1,417 IPM rapids, Star Motion Control’s idle-time reductions, and FANUC 31i-B reliability, and you have a turnkey cell that churns out medical implants, aerospace fittings, and fluid-power components with surgical precision—every shift, every day.
