Machine Comparison
Mazak SYNCREX vs Tsugami B0125
Yamazaki Mazak vs Tsugami · Swiss-Type Lathes
Summary
The Mazak SYNCREX is a family of Swiss-type lathes offered across several bar sizes, while the Tsugami B0125 is a single small-bar Swiss-type model. The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair: the only row both sides fill is sub-spindle speed.
The SYNCREX figure is a span across the family, 8,000 rpm to 12,000 rpm, and the B0125's back spindle runs 200-12,000 rpm. The top of the SYNCREX span matches the B0125, so the table names no winner on that row. The choice rests on bar size and the kind of part each machine is described for, not on a measured difference.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Mazak SYNCREX | Tsugami B0125 |
|---|---|---|
| Sub-Spindle Speed | 8,000 rpm to 12,000 rpm | 200-12,000 rpm |
Advantages
Mazak SYNCREX
- Offered as a family across several bar sizes, so one Swiss-type line can cover more than one bar range
- Described for long, slender parts supported in the guide bushing, and for parts with cross holes and flats from cross live tools
Tsugami B0125
- A single model with a published 200-12,000 rpm back spindle, so the figure does not depend on which family member is ordered
- Described for small turned parts, long slender pins and two-ended parts from small-diameter bar
Verdict
Pick by bar size and part type. The Tsugami B0125 fits shops making small turned parts and slender pins from small-diameter bar, finished on both ends on its 200-12,000 rpm back spindle. The Mazak SYNCREX fits shops that want one Swiss-type family across several bar sizes, with guide-bushing support for long, slender work and cross live tools for holes and flats. Sub-spindle speed does not separate them, so check the specific SYNCREX model's figures before ordering.
