Overview
The DMG Mori Wasino G-06 is a compact flat tooling CNC turning center designed for ultra-precise machining of small parts up to 60 mm (2.4 in) diameter and 60 mm length. The flat tooling configuration uses individual tool blocks mounted directly on the slides rather than a conventional turret, providing superior rigidity and thermal stability for precision production turning.
The machine handles bar stock up to 38.1 mm (1.5 in) diameter, covering the majority of small production parts in the medical, electronics, automotive sensor, and watch industries. X-axis travel is 300 mm (11.8 in) and Z-axis travel is 285 mm (11.2 in), providing generous movement for a machine in this size class.
Wasino's symmetrical bed design ensures stable machining accuracy by equalizing thermal expansion on both sides of the spindle centerline. This is a critical design detail that separates flat tooling lathes from conventional turret machines. Cold-start thermal displacement measures just 2.0 micrometers on diameter, allowing the machine to reach production accuracy quickly after startup.
The flat tooling approach means each tool has its own dedicated slide and mounting block. This eliminates the indexing errors inherent in turret designs and provides a more rigid cutting platform. The trade-off is fewer tool positions compared to a 12-station turret, but for production parts with a limited number of features, the accuracy advantage is decisive.
The G-06 runs on a Fanuc control and features a high-performance spindle with what DMG Mori describes as excellent reliability for continuous production operation. This machine competes with flat tooling lathes from Tsugami and Citizen Miyano in the compact precision production segment. Specs sourced from DMG Mori published data.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Flat tooling configuration provides superior rigidity and eliminates turret indexing errors for tighter tolerances
- Symmetrical bed design equalizes thermal expansion for consistent accuracy from cold start through production
- 2.0 µm thermal displacement at cold start allows rapid transition to production accuracy after startup
- 300 mm X-axis travel provides generous movement range for a compact machine in this class
- 38.1 mm bar capacity covers the majority of small precision production parts across medical, electronics, and automotive
- Compact footprint suitable for shops with limited floor space that need high-precision small-part production
Limitations
- 60 mm maximum workpiece diameter and length limit the machine to very small parts only
- Flat tooling configuration offers fewer tool positions than conventional 12-station turret machines
- Detailed spindle speed and power specifications not published on DMG Mori website, requiring direct inquiry
- Niche flat tooling platform requires familiarity that operators from conventional turret lathes may lack

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A flat tooling lathe uses individual tool blocks mounted on dedicated slides instead of a rotating turret. Each tool has its own rigid mounting, eliminating turret indexing errors and providing better thermal stability. The trade-off is fewer tool positions compared to a turret machine.
02
The G-06 handles parts up to 60 mm diameter with 300 mm X-axis travel. The G-07 steps up to 100 mm diameter with 480 mm X-axis travel. Both are flat tooling turning centers with symmetrical beds. Choose the G-06 for parts under 60 mm; the G-07 for parts up to 100 mm.
03
For parts with few features, flat tooling can be faster because there is no turret indexing time between tools. For parts with many features requiring frequent tool changes, a turret machine may be more efficient. Evaluate based on your specific part mix.
04
Standard bar feeders compatible with 38 mm bar stock work with the G-06. LNS, IEMCA, and FMB all make suitable models. Confirm interface compatibility with both the bar feeder and machine supplier.
