How much does the Tsugami B032V-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 B032V-III is a 32 mm (1.26 in) sliding-headstock lathe with a guide bushing, 5 axes and a vertical gang tool post holding 29 tools in total. Main and sub-spindles both run to 8,000 RPM, live tools to 6,000 RPM, and the control is a FANUC 0i-TF. The listed table has not been checked against Tsugami.
The live tooling is the row to look at. The table gives 5 standard / 11 max live positions, so the machine as delivered may carry fewer driven tools than a part needs; the extra positions have to be specified when ordering. With a gang post, tool changes are short axis moves, which favours parts with many brief operations.
Headstock stroke is 330 mm (12.99 in), long enough to finish a substantial shaft in one chucking, and the guide bushing supports it along that length. The table lists no guide-bushless mode, so short parts will leave the usual guide-bushing remnant.
The machine is listed at 4,100 kg (9,039 lb) with a footprint of 2,240 x 1,515 x 2,050 mm. For comparison, the B032-III in the same bar size is listed with a convertible guide bushing and, in its 6-axis form, 32/42 tool positions with 15/26 live.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Vertical gang tool post with 29 tools in total
- Live positions expand from 5 standard to 11 max
- 330 mm (12.99 in) headstock stroke on a guide bushing for long parts
- Main and sub-spindles both run to 8,000 RPM, with a FANUC 0i-TF control
Limitations
- Only 5 live positions as standard; reaching 11 means specifying the option
- The table lists no guide-bushless mode, so short parts carry a full remnant
- Spindles stop at 8,000 RPM and live tools at 6,000 RPM, which limits small-tool work
- Listed at 4,100 kg (9,039 lb), so plan floor and rigging before delivery

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed table gives 5 standard / 11 max live positions, out of 29 tools in total, with live tools running to 6,000 RPM. Check how many driven operations the part needs and specify the extra positions at order time if the standard 5 are not enough.
02
The B032V-III has a vertical gang tool post, 29 tools and a guide bushing. The B032-III is listed with a convertible guide bushing and, in its 6-axis form, 32/42 tool positions and 15/26 live positions on a FANUC 32i-B. Both have a 330 mm (12.99 in) stroke and 32 mm (1.26 in) bar capacity.
03
The listed table describes a sliding headstock with guide bushing and gives no guide-bushless mode. If short parts with low remnant are a large share of the work, ask whether a conversion is available before ordering, or look at a convertible machine.
04
The table lists 4,100 kg (9,039 lb) and a footprint of 2,240 x 1,515 x 2,050 mm. Neither figure has been checked against Tsugami, so confirm both with an installation drawing and allow space at the headstock end for the bar feeder.
