Our best estimate for the Star SC-20 is $100,000 - $170,000. 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-sc-20#price; the request is passed to Star Micronics or an authorised dealer.
The maximum bar capacity is 20 mm (0.787 in), and the maximum machining diameter is the same. The table shows no optional larger size for the SC-20.
The row reads 6 tools or 5 tools (12mm), selectable. In other words the count is a choice made when the machine is configured, and both arrangements use 12mm shanks. The table does not say what the freed position is used for in the 5-tool arrangement, so ask Star which layout suits your parts.
