How much does the Tsugami B0123C cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Tsugami. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Tsugami B0123C is a compact 12 mm (0.47 in) Swiss-type automatic lathe. Its footprint, 1,620 × 865 × 1,720 mm (63.8 × 34.1 × 67.7 in), is the figure that sets it apart: at 865 mm (34.1 in) deep, it fits into lines and corners where a wider machine would not.
The cutting figures match the B0123-VR. Both run a 2.2/3.7 kW spindle to 12,000 rpm (rated 10,000 rpm), carry 13 tools as standard and rapid at 32 m/min on Z1 and Y1 and 24 m/min on X1. The B0123C weighs 1,380 kg (3,042 lb), against 1,350 kg (2,976 lb) for the B0123-VR, so the choice between them comes down to layout and the configuration each version offers, which Tsugami's tables do not spell out.
Only X1, Y1 and Z1 appear in the rapid traverse row. If the part needs a full set of back-end operations, the B0125C adds X2 and Z2 and 21 tools at 1,800 kg (3,968 lb), and the B0126C goes to 25 tools with a Y2 axis.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Compact 1,620 × 865 mm (63.8 × 34.1 in) footprint
- 12,000 rpm (rated 10,000 rpm) spindle suited to small diameters
- Weighs 1,380 kg (3,042 lb), easy to place and move
Limitations
- 13 tools as standard, against 21 on the B0125C
- No X2 or Z2 axes in the rapid traverse row
- Spindle rated 2.2/3.7 kW, which limits heavy cuts even at 12 mm (0.47 in)
