How much does the Tsugami B075-VR 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 B075-VR is a 7 mm (0.28 in) Swiss-type automatic lathe built around spindle speed rather than torque. Tsugami's table gives the main spindle 15,000 rpm maximum (rated 12,000 rpm) on a 1.1/1.5 kW motor, a back spindle of 12,000 rpm (rated 8,000 rpm) on 2.2/3.7 kW, and 21 tools as standard.
On bar this thin, surface speed is usually what runs out first, so the extra rpm is the reason to choose it. The B0125C makes the trade clear: it carries the same 21 standard tools and weighs the same 1,800 kg (3,968 lb), but its main spindle stops at 12,000 rpm (rated 10,000 rpm) on a 2.2/3.7 kW motor. Pick the B075-VR for very small diameters, the larger machine when cuts need more power.
Rapids are 32 m/min on Y1 and Z1 and 24 m/min on X1. The table's 36 m/min applies to X2 and Z2 on the 5-axis configuration only, so confirm which version a quotation covers before using that figure for back-working cycle estimates.
The machine takes up 2,035 × 1,055 × 1,700 mm (80.1 × 41.5 × 66.9 in). One oddity of the table is that the back spindle motor, at 2.2/3.7 kW, is larger than the main one; on the main spindle the 1.1/1.5 kW rating is what limits depth of cut.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Main spindle reaches 15,000 rpm (rated 12,000 rpm), above the 12,000 rpm of the B0125C
- Back spindle runs to 12,000 rpm (rated 8,000 rpm) on a 2.2/3.7 kW motor
- 21 tools as standard on a 7 mm (0.28 in) machine
- 36 m/min rapids on X2 and Z2 in the 5-axis configuration, 32 m/min on Y1 and Z1
Limitations
- Maximum machining diameter is 7 mm (0.28 in); larger bar needs a bigger frame such as the B0125C
- Main motor is 1.1/1.5 kW, against 2.2/3.7 kW on the B0125C and the B0123-VR, so heavy cuts are limited
- X1 rapid is 24 m/min, slower than the 32 m/min on Y1 and Z1

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Bar size, top speed and motor. The B075-VR machines up to 7 mm (0.28 in) in diameter with a main spindle of 15,000 rpm (rated 12,000 rpm) on 1.1/1.5 kW. The B0125C runs to 12,000 rpm (rated 10,000 rpm) on 2.2/3.7 kW. Both carry 21 tools as standard and both weigh 1,800 kg (3,968 lb).
02
Tsugami gives a maximum and a rated speed. The main spindle reaches 15,000 rpm with a rated 12,000 rpm, the back spindle 12,000 rpm with a rated 8,000 rpm. Plan sustained production cuts around the rated figures and treat the maximum as the ceiling for short finishing passes on the smallest diameters.
03
The footprint is 2,035 × 1,055 × 1,700 mm (80.1 × 41.5 × 66.9 in) and the weight 1,800 kg (3,968 lb). Allow extra length at the headstock end for the bar feeder, which is not part of these dimensions.
