How much does the Tsugami B038V-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 B038V-III is a 38 mm (1.5 in) sliding-headstock lathe with a guide bushing and a vertical gang tool post, on a FANUC control. Its listed table has four rows and has not been checked against Tsugami: there is no row for spindle speed, axes, sub-spindle, tool count, stroke, motor or weight.
What the table does settle is the layout. A vertical gang post on a 38 mm guide-bushing machine points to long, large-diameter turned parts with many short operations, where tools are selected by a short axis move rather than a turret index. Everything else, including the exact control model, has to come from the maker's sheet.
For scale, the B038M in the same bar size is listed at 7,000 rpm (rated 5,000 rpm) on 3.7/5.5 kW, with 40 tools and a weight of 7,100 kg (15,653 lb).

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed table gives a 38 mm (1.5 in) bar capacity, a sliding headstock with guide bushing, a vertical gang tool post and a FANUC control. It gives no spindle speed or axis count. Ask Tsugami for the full sheet before comparing it with other machines.
02
Only loosely, because the B038V-III table is thin. The B038M is listed at 7,000 rpm (rated 5,000 rpm) on 3.7/5.5 kW with 40 tools and 7,100 kg (15,653 lb). The B038V-III's spindle speed, tool count and motor are not given, so the two cannot yet be compared on capacity.
