Our best estimate for the Star SB-16D is $100,000 - $175,000. This is an estimate for a swiss-type lathes in this class, not a quote from Star Micronics; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/star-micronics-sb-16d#price; the request is passed to Star Micronics or an authorised dealer.
Star's table lists 20 tool positions. It does not say how many of them are turning tools, end-working tools or back tools, so a part with a specific requirement on either side should be checked against Star's tooling layout for the machine.
Star's tables for the two are close: the SB-16E also takes Ø16mm (5/8in) bar and also lists 35m/min rapid traverse on X, Y and Z. The SB-16D table adds 20 tool positions and a Ø16mm (5/8in) chucking diameter. Neither row appears in the SB-16E table, so the tooling difference between the two has to be confirmed with Star.
