How much does the Tsugami B075C 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 B075C is a 5-axis guide-bushless chucker for bar up to 7 mm (0.275 in), with a sub-spindle for back-end work. The listed figures give a 15,000 RPM main spindle on 1.1/1.5 kW (2 HP), a 12,000 RPM sub-spindle on 2.2/2.5 kW (3 HP), 21 tool positions of which 4 are live, and a FANUC 0i-TF control. Tsugami's current pages do not show this table, so it has not been checked against the maker.
The sub-spindle is what the extra two axes buy. A part can be picked off into the second spindle and finished on its back face in the same cycle, so small parts with features on both ends come off complete. The 4 live positions cover cross holes and flats; a part that needs many milled features will run out of driven stations quickly.
There is no guide bushing. The bar is gripped close to the work, which favours short, stubby parts and short remnants, and disfavours long slender ones that would deflect without support.
The B075-VR, which Tsugami does publish, has the same main spindle figures: 15,000 rpm (rated 12,000 rpm) on 1.1/1.5 kW, with 21 tools as standard and a weight of 1,800 kg (3,968 lb). The B075C is listed at 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) and 1,035 x 1,585 x 1,700 mm, and the inch dimensions printed beside those do not correspond to them, so get a drawing before planning the floor.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Sub-spindle to 12,000 RPM on a 2.2/2.5 kW (3 HP) motor for back-end work in one cycle
- 15,000 RPM main spindle for small diameters in 7 mm (0.275 in) bar
- 21 tool positions, 4 of them live, on 5 axes
- Guide-bushless layout suits short parts and leaves short remnants
Limitations
- Only 4 live tool positions, which limits how many drilled or milled features fit in one cycle
- No guide bushing, so long slender parts lack support near the tool
- Main motor of 1.1/1.5 kW (2 HP) is smaller than the 2.2/2.5 kW sub-spindle motor, so the main spindle limits heavy cuts

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The B075C adds a sub-spindle and two axes. It is listed with 5 axes, a 12,000 RPM sub-spindle on 2.2/2.5 kW (3 HP) and 4 live tool positions. The B073C has 3 axes and its table lists no sub-spindle. Both are guide-bushless chuckers for 7 mm (0.275 in) bar with a 15,000 RPM main spindle.
02
No. It is listed as a dedicated chucker (guide-bushless). That suits short parts and keeps remnants short, but long slender parts deflect without the support of a bushing, so they belong on a sliding-headstock machine that has one.
03
The main spindle figures match: the B075-VR runs 15,000 rpm (rated 12,000 rpm) on 1.1/1.5 kW and carries 21 tools as standard, the same count as the B075C. The B075-VR weighs 1,800 kg (3,968 lb); the B075C is listed at 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). Only the B075-VR table has been checked against Tsugami.
04
The listed dimensions are 1,035 x 1,585 x 1,700 mm and the weight 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). The inch dimensions given alongside are 65 x 44 x 67 in, which do not correspond to the millimetre figures, so take the installation drawing as the reference.
