The 2019 Citizen L-20E-2M8 is a compact Swiss-style lathe equipped for high-precision, small-diameter machining. It handles up to 0.79-in bar with a generous 7.87-in stroke per chucking using Guide Bushing. Powered by a 10000 RPM main spindle featuring a 1.02-in through-hole and driven by a 5 HP motor, all controlled via the Cincom System M70M, it combines speed and accuracy in a small footprint.

Beyond basic screw machines, the L-20E-2M8 integrates modular tooling capability—up to 37 tool positions including gang and drilling tools—paired with Citizen’s selectable LFV chip-control and optional B-axis, enabling fast, flexible, and highly automated production suited for aerospace and medical applications.
