CNC Swiss Lathes
Used Tsugami BO320-5AX: Sell or Buy at Auction
Tsugami is a Japanese manufacturer of Swiss-type CNC automatic lathes and precision turning machines, a leading competitor to Citizen in the Swiss turning market. Tsugami Swiss lathes are widely used in medical device manufacturing, dental components, aerospace fasteners, and electronics. The S, B, and BO series cover a broad range of bar diameters for precision automatic turning.
The Tsugami BO320-5AX is a five-axis Swiss-type CNC automatic lathe from Tsugami's B0 series, the convertible branch of its Swiss lineup. It handles bar stock up to about 32 mm and runs two ways on one platform. With the guide bushing installed it turns long, slender parts up to roughly 330 mm long; with the guide bushing removed it works as a chucker for short parts, accepting drawn bar stock instead of centerless-ground stock to cut remnant waste. A main spindle and a synchronized back spindle, paired with gang-mounted live tooling, let a part be turned, cross-drilled, milled, and finished off the back spindle in one cycle. That flexibility, long Swiss work and short chucking parts without changing machines, makes the BO320-5AX a natural fit for medical, dental, and precision fastener shops running mixed lot sizes. On the used market it draws job shops and OEM suppliers adding bar-fed capacity, many already running Tsugami or Citizen equipment. A unit in running condition with its guide bushing, collets, chucker kit, and live tooling intact draws strong interest through KD Auctions' network of 500,000+ industry contacts.

What is a used Tsugami BO320-5AX worth at auction?
Value for a BO320-5AX depends on its age, spindle hours, control and software, and the condition of wear items such as the guide bushing, collets, and live tooling, plus whether the chucker kit and bar feeder come with it. Rather than quote a number cold, KD Auctions provides a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal covering both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so you know where your machine stands before deciding whether to sell privately or through auction.
How do I sell a used Tsugami BO320-5AX, and how long does it take?
Most sellers consign the machine to a KD Auctions managed sale, which runs about 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to payout and reaches the firm's 500,000+ industry contacts, including the medical, dental, and fastener shops that look for 32 mm Swiss capacity. Commission is tailored to the engagement and quoted upfront, and most sellers pay nothing out of pocket. A BO320-5AX that is powered up and cutting, with its guide bushing, chucker kit, collets, and live tooling present, consistently draws the strongest bidding, so it is worth documenting the full tooling package before the sale. When timing matters, KD Auctions can dispatch a rigging and inspection crew onsite within 48 to 72 hours.
