How much does the Tsugami B0386-II 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 B0386-II is a 38 mm / 1.5″ Swiss-type lathe with 6-axis simultaneous control, the II in its name marking the generation. The main spindle runs 200 – 6,000 rpm on a 7.5 / 11 kW motor, tool positions are listed as 32/ 42 and live tool positions as 15 / 26. The control is a Fanuc 32i.
The live-tool count is what sets it apart. With up to 26 driven positions out of 42, a large share of the tooling can drill and mill, so parts with cross holes, flats and milled features on a large diameter can be finished complete rather than sent to a second machine. The paired figures most likely describe a standard and a fuller tooling layout; confirm which one a quoted machine carries.
The back spindle is the row to check. The table gives it as up to 6,000 RPM in one place and 200 – 7,000 rpm in another, so ask which applies before planning back-end work around the higher figure.
The machine weighs 4,850 kg / 10,694 lbs., the same 4,850 kg (10,694 lb) listed for the B0386, which also runs a FANUC 32i-B and 6,000 rpm live tools. A machine of that weight needs a floor rated for it and a bar feeder sized for 38 mm stock.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Up to 15 / 26 live tool positions within 32/ 42 tool positions
- 7.5 / 11 kW main spindle for 38 mm / 1.5″ bar
- 6-axis simultaneous control on a Fanuc 32i
- Main spindle runs 200 – 6,000 rpm, suited to the surface speeds of large bar
Limitations
- Main spindle tops out at 6,000 rpm, slow for small features on a large part
- The back spindle speed is listed two ways (up to 6,000 RPM and 200 – 7,000 rpm), so it must be confirmed
- A machine weight of 4,850 kg / 10,694 lbs. needs a floor rated for it
- The table gives no machining length per chucking

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The main spindle motor is rated 7.5 / 11 kW, and the main spindle runs from 200 to 6,000 rpm. That is sized for roughing 38 mm / 1.5″ bar, where cutting speed is reached at modest revolutions. The table gives no power rating for the back spindle.
02
Tool positions are listed as 32/ 42 and live tool positions as 15 / 26. The pairs are not explained, so confirm which configuration a particular machine carries before planning a tool layout around the larger figure.
03
The table is not consistent: one row gives the back spindle as up to 6,000 RPM and another gives the sub spindle as 200 – 7,000 rpm. Ask Tsugami which figure applies to the machine being quoted.
04
They share the 4,850 kg (10,694 lb) weight, and the B0386 lists a FANUC 32i-B control and 6,000 rpm live tools. Its other figures are not given here, so compare the full tables of both generations before choosing between a used B0386 and a B0386-II.
