USED SAMSUNG SL-20 – 2011
The SAMSUNG SL-20 – 2011 is a CNC horizontal turning center designed for precision turning, facing, boring, threading, grooving, drilling, and other production machining operations. The SL-20 combines a rigid machine structure with an 8-inch chuck, 4,000 RPM spindle, 25 HP spindle motor, and approximately 20.47 inches of maximum turning length. It is well suited for job shops and production environments machining small- to medium-sized cylindrical components.
The documented 2011 configuration provides approximately 17.72 inches of swing over the bed, 11.8 inches of maximum turning diameter, and 20.47 inches of maximum turning length. X-axis travel is approximately 7.09 inches, while Z-axis travel is approximately 21.26 inches. The machine uses an 8-inch chuck and has approximately 3 inches of spindle bore / 2.6-inch bar capacity, allowing it to accommodate a useful range of bar-fed and chucking applications.
The SL-20 is equipped with a 25 HP main spindle capable of 4,000 RPM. The documented machine uses a Fanuc 0i-TD CNC control and a 10-station turret. The standard SL-20 is a 2-axis CNC lathe without live tooling, making it particularly appropriate for conventional turning applications rather than complex turn-mill work. Tailstock configurations are available for supporting longer workpieces.
The 2011 machine can also be equipped with production-oriented accessories such as a bar feeder, parts catcher, chip conveyor, and tailstock. These features allow the SL-20 to operate efficiently in repetitive production environments. Typical applications include automotive components, hydraulic parts, shafts, bushings, fittings, sleeves, flanges, and general precision-machined components.

WHY CHOOSE SAMSUNG SL-20 2011
The SAMSUNG SL-20 2011 offers a practical combination of spindle power, turning capacity, and production-oriented automation. Its 25 HP, 4,000 RPM spindle provides sufficient power for a broad range of turning applications, while the 8-inch chuck and 2.6-inch bar capacity make it suitable for many common production components.
The approximately 20.47-inch turning length and 11.8-inch turning diameter provide useful capacity without requiring the footprint of a much larger turning center. The FANUC 0i-TD control also provides a familiar CNC platform for shops already operating Fanuc-controlled turning equipment.
For production applications, accessories such as a bar feeder, parts catcher, tailstock, and chip conveyor can reduce operator intervention and improve material handling.
WHY BUY USED SAMSUNG SL-20 2011
A used SAMSUNG SL-20 2011 can provide a cost-effective way to add a production CNC lathe without the acquisition cost of a new turning center. Its 2-axis configuration is particularly appropriate for shops producing repeatable turned components where live tooling, Y-axis machining, or a sub-spindle is not required.
When purchasing a used SL-20, buyers should inspect:
- Main spindle condition
- Spindle bearings
- Spindle runout
- Chuck condition
- Spindle bore
- X-axis backlash
- Z-axis backlash
- Ballscrew condition
- Linear guideways
- Turret indexing
- Turret alignment
- Tailstock operation
- FANUC control
- Servo drives
- Parts catcher
- Bar feeder
- Chip conveyor
- Coolant system
- Lubrication system
- Machine geometry
- Maintenance history
- Spindle and cutting hours
A documented 2011 machine has been listed with approximately 3,025 cutting hours, while other used examples may have substantially different operating hours. Buyers should therefore verify actual power-on, spindle, and cutting hours for the individual machine.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED SAMSUNG SL-20 2011 COST?
Current used-market listings provide a useful indication of pricing for the 2011 Samsung SL-20. A 2011 SL20 has been advertised at approximately $19,900, while a previously listed 2011 SL-20/500 with Fanuc control, chip conveyor, parts catcher, tool probe, and tooling was listed at $21,375.
Based on these current and recent market references, a reasonable estimated price range for a used SAMSUNG SL-20 2011 is approximately $15,000–$25,000 USD. Machines with a bar feeder, parts catcher, tooling, low cutting hours, and good spindle condition can command prices toward the upper end of this range.
| Machine Condition / Configuration | Estimated Used Price |
|---|---|
| As-Is / Higher Hours | $12,000–$15,000 |
| Running / Basic Configuration | $15,000–$19,000 |
| Good Condition / Well Equipped | $19,000–$22,000 |
| Low Hours / Bar Feeder / Tooling | $22,000–$25,000+ |
The final selling price should be based on spindle condition, cutting hours, CNC control condition, axis accuracy, turret operation, chuck condition, tailstock, bar feeder, parts catcher, chip conveyor, tooling, maintenance records, and whether the machine can be demonstrated under power.
