How much does the Tsugami B0128W 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 B0128W is a 12 mm (0.47 in) Swiss-type lathe built around more axes than its C-series neighbours. Its rapid traverse row lists eight: Z1, X2 and Z2 at 32 m/min, Y1 and Y3 at 24 m/min, Y2 at 15 m/min, and X1 and X3 at 12 m/min. The X3 and Y3 entries point to a third tool group beside the front and back-end tools, and that is the reason to choose this machine.
Both spindles run to 12,000 rpm, the main spindle rated at 10,000 rpm and the back spindle at 8,000 rpm. Their motors are rated 1.5/2.2 kW, smaller than the 2.2/3.7 kW of the B0126C, which has the same 25-tool standard capacity but no X3 or Y3. On 12 mm stock the lower rating seldom limits turning, but large drills and form tools in hard material will feel it first.
The extra hardware shows in the size. The B0128W weighs 2,150 kg (4,740 lb) and occupies 1,740 × 1,215 × 1,700 mm (68.5 × 47.8 × 66.9 in), against 1,850 kg (4,079 lb) for the B0126C. The B0208W uses this frame, footprint and weight with a 20 mm (0.79 in) capacity and a 2.2/3.7 kW main spindle.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Eight axes in the rapid table, including X3 and Y3 for a third tool group
- 25 tools as standard, the same count as the B0126C
- Main and back spindles both reach 12,000 rpm
- Z1, X2 and Z2 rapid at 32 m/min
Limitations
- X1 and X3 rapid at only 12 m/min, the slowest rates in the table
- 1.5/2.2 kW spindle motors, below the 2.2/3.7 kW of the B0126C
- At 1,215 mm deep it needs more floor than the 865 mm deep B0126C

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Bar capacity and main spindle. The B0128W takes 12 mm (0.47 in) bar and its main spindle runs to 12,000 rpm (rated 10,000 rpm) on a 1.5/2.2 kW motor. The B0208W takes 20 mm (0.79 in) bar, runs to 10,000 rpm (rated 8,000 rpm) and has a 2.2/3.7 kW main spindle. Footprint, weight, tool count and rapid rates are the same.
02
They appear in the rapid traverse row, Y3 at 24 m/min and X3 at 12 m/min, next to the X1, Y1, Z1 front axes and the X2, Y2, Z2 back-end axes. The table does not say which tools the third group carries or whether it can cut at the same time as the others, so ask Tsugami before planning cycles around it.
