How much does the Tsugami B032-III 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 B032-III is a 32 mm (1.26 in) Swiss-type lathe listed in two configurations: the 5-axis B0325B on a FANUC 0i-TF Plus and the 6-axis B0326 on a FANUC 32i-B. Both share a 3.7/5.5 kW main motor, main and sub-spindles at 200-8,000 RPM, a 330 mm (12.99 in) headstock stroke and a convertible guide bushing. The table has not been checked against Tsugami's current pages.
The axis count decides the tooling, and the gap between the two is wide. The 5-axis machine is listed with 31/32 tool positions and 4/8 live positions; the 6-axis machine with 32/42 positions and 15/26 live. A part that is mostly turning with a few cross holes fits the 5-axis machine. A part with many milled or drilled features is the case for the 6-axis version and its larger control.
With 330 mm of stroke, a long shaft can be finished in one chucking without re-gripping, and the convertible guide bushing lets short parts run as a chucker instead. Live tools run to 6,000 RPM and the rapid traverse rate is 35 m/min.
Plan the floor for 4,000 kg (8,818 lbs) and 2,628 x 1,280 x 1,970 mm (103.5 x 50.4 x 77.5 in). In the same bar size, the B032V-III takes a different approach, with a vertical gang tool post, 29 tools in total and a listed weight of 4,100 kg (9,039 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Choice of 5-axis (FANUC 0i-TF Plus) or 6-axis (FANUC 32i-B) configuration
- Up to 15/26 live positions on the 6-axis machine for milling-heavy parts
- 330 mm (12.99 in) headstock stroke for long parts in one chucking
- Convertible guide bushing for Swiss-type or chucker running
- Main and sub-spindles both run 200-8,000 RPM, with a 3.7/5.5 kW main motor
Limitations
- The 5-axis machine is listed with only 4/8 live positions
- Both spindles stop at 8,000 RPM, which limits surface speed on small diameters
- Live tools run to 6,000 RPM, below what small drills and end mills prefer
- 4,000 kg (8,818 lbs) needs a floor and rigging plan before delivery

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Tooling and control. The 5-axis B0325B is listed with 31/32 tool positions, 4/8 live positions and a FANUC 0i-TF Plus. The 6-axis B0326 is listed with 32/42 tool positions, 15/26 live positions and a FANUC 32i-B. Spindles, motor and stroke are the same on both.
02
The headstock stroke is 330 mm (12.99 in), so shafts up to that length can be finished without re-gripping. The guide bushing is convertible, so short parts can also run as a chucker; the table does not give the stroke in chucker mode, so ask for it if that is the main use.
03
Both take 32 mm (1.26 in) bar with a 330 mm (12.99 in) stroke. The B032V-III uses a vertical gang tool post with 29 tools in total and 5 standard / 11 max live positions, on a FANUC 0i-TF, and is listed at 4,100 kg (9,039 lb). The B032-III offers more tools and live positions in its 6-axis form.
04
The listed weight is 4,000 kg (8,818 lbs) and the dimensions are 2,628 x 1,280 x 1,970 mm (103.5 x 50.4 x 77.5 in). These figures have not been checked against Tsugami, so confirm them with an installation drawing, and leave room at the headstock end for the bar feeder.
