What Makes Smart Machine Tool Stand Out?
Delivering value without sacrificing quality is how Smart Machine Tool established its reputation. With the support of a parent company that has been a distributor for more than 35 years and an importer for more than 20 years, the company's founders have combined more than 100 years of experience developing CNC lathes. Machines that comprehend actual shop floor needs are a direct result of this extensive industry knowledge.
Because the company uses Fanuc controls for all of its products, operator training is simple and downtime during transitions is minimized. With Smart's emphasis on rigidity, accuracy, and user-friendliness, you can spend more time creating parts and less time battling with your equipment, whether you're managing a production facility or a job shop.
Smart Machine Tool Product Lines

With a 50 HP direct drive spindle and industry-leading tapping cycles, the SX4000 twin-pallet system offers high production capability and is ideal for lights-out manufacturing.
Bridge Mills & Specialty Equipment
Bridge mills from Smart's HSA and SW series use CAT50 tooling to handle large workpieces. For specific uses, the HNK line consists of horizontal boring mills and vertical turning lathes.
Enhance Functionality with Extra Options
Smart machines can be customized with:
- Robotic loaders and bar feeders for automation
- Chip conveyors and coolant management systems
- Tool presetters and probing systems
- Live tooling packages for turning centers
- Sub-spindle configurations for complete part machining
Frequently Asked Questions
What control system do Smart Machine Tool machines use?
Throughout their whole product line, Smart Machine Tool only uses Fanuc controls. This standardization guarantees long-term parts availability and makes programming consistent whether you're running a mill or a lathe.
Are Smart Machine Tool machines suitable for production environments?
Of course. Heavy-duty parts made for continuous operation and box-way construction provide rigidity in smart machine tool machines. Numerous shops use highly reliable Smart equipment in high-volume production.
How does Smart Machine Tool pricing compare to other brands?
With prices that are usually 20–30% lower than those of similar Japanese equipment while still upholding quality standards, Smart Machine Tool markets itself as a value brand. Used Smart machines are even more affordable, which makes them perfect for stores looking to replace outdated machinery or increase capacity.
Why Buy a Used Smart Machine Tool from Premier Equipment?
When you buy a used Smart machine tool from Premier Equipment, you receive quality equipment for 40–60% less than new. Before any machine is delivered to your shop floor, our skilled technicians perform a comprehensive inspection to make sure it satisfies our quality standards. Our staff can help you choose the best model to meet your production requirements and budget thanks to our daily updated inventory and technical knowledge of smart machines.
