Tsugami vs Tsugami · Swiss-Type Lathes
Summary
The Tsugami B0205 and the Tsugami B0326 are Tsugami Swiss-type lathes in two bar classes. The B0326 is the larger machine: bar up to 32 mm (1.26 in) against Ø20 mm (0.8 in), and 330 mm (12.99 in) of turning length per chucking against 210 mm (8.3 in). It is listed with 6 axes against 5.
The B0205 is the faster machine on all three spindles. Its main spindle runs 200-10,000 rpm against 200 - 8,000 RPM, its back spindle 200-12,000 rpm against 200 - 8,000 RPM, and its live tools 8,000 rpm against 200 - 6,000 RPM. It also needs less floor space: 1,125 × 1,655 × 1,700 mm against 2,628 × 1,280 × 1,970 mm.

Advantages
Tsugami B0205
- Main spindle to 10,000 rpm (200-10,000 rpm) against 200 - 8,000 RPM
- Back spindle to 12,000 rpm against 8,000 RPM, and 8,000 rpm live tools against 6,000 RPM
- Smaller floor space: 1,125 × 1,655 × 1,700 mm against 2,628 × 1,280 × 1,970 mm
Tsugami B0326
- Bar capacity of 32 mm (1.26 in) against Ø20 mm (0.8 in)
- 330 mm (12.99 in) turning length per chucking against 210 mm (8.3 in)
Verdict
Choose by bar size and part length. The Tsugami B0326 suits bar work up to 32 mm (1.26 in) and long parts up to 330 mm (12.99 in) per chucking, including parts with many cross holes and milled features. The Tsugami B0205 suits parts within Ø20 mm (0.8 in) bar and 210 mm (8.3 in) length, where its higher main spindle, back spindle and live tool speeds cut cycle time on smaller diameters.
