How much does the Tsugami B0125C 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 B0125C is a 12 mm (0.47 in) Swiss-type automatic lathe with a main spindle and a back spindle, each rated 2.2/3.7 kW, and 21 tool positions as standard. The main spindle reaches 12,000 rpm with a rated speed of 10,000 rpm. The back spindle has the same 12,000 rpm ceiling but a lower rated speed of 8,000 rpm.
Its place in the small C series is clearest against its neighbours. The B0123C carries 13 tools and its table gives rapid rates only for Z1, Y1 and X1. The B0125C adds X2 and Z2 at 32 m/min, the second-path axes that serve back-end work on the cut-off part. The B0126C goes one step further with 25 tools and a Y2 axis at 15 m/min, so off-centre features on the back end are the reason to move up to that model.
The machine weighs 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) and occupies 1,840 × 865 × 1,720 mm (72.4 × 34.1 × 67.7 in). The table does not say whether that footprint includes a bar feeder, so ask before planning the floor layout.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Main and back spindles both reach 12,000 rpm and carry the same 2.2/3.7 kW rating
- 21 tool positions as standard, against 13 on the B0123C
- X2 and Z2 back-end axes rapid at 32 m/min, the same rate as Z1 and Y1
Limitations
- No Y2 axis in the table; the B0126C adds one at 15 m/min for off-centre back working
- X1 rapids at 24 m/min, slower than the 32 m/min of the other listed axes
- Bar capacity stops at 12 mm (0.47 in), which confines it to small precision parts

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Tool count, the back-end Y axis and weight. The B0125C has 21 standard tool positions and no Y2 axis in its table. The B0126C has 25 tools and a Y2 axis at 15 m/min, and weighs 1,850 kg (4,079 lb) against 1,800 kg (3,968 lb). Bar capacity, spindle speeds, spindle power and footprint are the same on both.
02
The main spindle reaches 12,000 rpm and is rated at 10,000 rpm. The back spindle also reaches 12,000 rpm, but its rated speed is 8,000 rpm, so sustained back-end work is best planned around the lower figure. Both spindles are rated 2.2/3.7 kW.
03
The table gives 1,840 × 865 × 1,720 mm (72.4 × 34.1 × 67.7 in) and a weight of 1,800 kg (3,968 lb). Check with Tsugami what the footprint includes before laying out a bar feeder and chip handling around it.
