CNC Swiss Lathes
Used Citizen R07: Sell or Buy at Auction
Citizen is a world-leading manufacturer of CNC Swiss-type automatic lathes: precision turning machines used for high-volume production of small, complex parts. Citizen Swiss lathes are ubiquitous in medical device manufacturing, aerospace fasteners, dental implants, and electronics components. The Cincom series is the industry standard for Swiss-type turning.
The Citizen Cincom R07 is a compact CNC Swiss-type automatic lathe from Citizen's R series, the small-diameter end of the Cincom range, where it sits alongside the even smaller R04. It runs around 7 mm bar capacity, well under the 20 mm and 32 mm class of Citizen's L20, L32, M32, A20, and A32 Cincom machines. Like other Cincom Swiss lathes, it turns the bar through a guide bushing that supports the stock right at the cutting tool, which is what lets it hold tight tolerances on long, slender features, and it pairs a main spindle with back-working stations and multiple tool positions so a part can be finished front and back in a single bar-fed cycle. That small envelope is the whole point: the R07 is built for high volumes of very small, tight-tolerance turned parts such as connector pins, electronic contacts, watch and instrument components, and micro medical work like bone screws, dental components, and small hearing aid parts, jobs that larger-bore Cincom models are not sized to run economically. KD Auctions sees steady, specialized interest in R07 listings from small-part precision machinists, and a complete example offered with its bar feeder, current tooling, and maintenance records draws the strongest bidding from our network of 500,000+ industry contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a used Citizen Cincom R07 worth at auction?
There is no set figure. Value on an R07 depends on its age, spindle hours, and overall condition, the control generation, the tooling and back-working package, and whether it includes a bar feeder, so we never quote a machine sight unseen. KD Auctions offers a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal covering both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so you have a documented number before you decide how to sell.
How does the R07 compare to Citizen's larger Cincom Swiss lathes, and how do I sell one?
The R07 is built around a smaller bar capacity, in the 7 mm class, than Citizen's L20, L32, M32, A20, and A32 Cincom lines, which take larger-diameter stock for bigger turned parts. Shops choose the R07 specifically for very small, high-volume work such as connector pins and micro medical components, not for larger parts, which is why a clean used example attracts a focused, motivated bidder pool. To sell one, call KD Auctions at 480.455.3910. A managed auction typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to payout, with onsite dispatch within 48 to 72 hours, and commission is tailored to the engagement and quoted upfront, so most sellers pay nothing out of pocket.
