How much does the Tsugami BO326 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 BO326 is a Ø32 mm (1.3 in) Swiss-type lathe with 6 axes and 34 tools, its main spindle running to 8,000 rpm on 3.7/5.5 kW (5/7.4 hp). Live tools reach 6,000 rpm, and the control is a Fanuc 32i-B customised by Tsugami. The figures come from an authorised Tsugami dealer's page.
The headstock stroke is 330 mm (13 in), so long shafts can be turned in one chucking. Tools can be up to Ø25 mm (1 in) in diameter and 100 mm (3.94 in) long, which leaves room for sizeable drills and end mills, and the 34-tool capacity is high enough that most large parts can be finished without a tooling change between jobs. Rapid traverse is 35 m/min. (1,378 in/min.).
In the range, the B0385 is the step up in bar size: Ø38 mm (1.5 in) with a 7.5/11 kW (10.1/14.7 hp) main spindle that runs 200-6,000 rpm, and 23/31 tools. The BO326 gives up that capacity and power for a faster 8,000 rpm spindle. The S206 has the same rapid traverse but works Ø20 mm (0.8 in) bar on 2.2/3.7 kW (2.9/5 hp).
The BO326 weighs 4,000 kg (8,818 lb) and measures 1,280 × 2,628 × 1,970 mm (50.4 × 103.5 × 77.5 in), so check the floor loading and the length available for a bar feeder before installation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 330 mm (13 in) headstock stroke for long parts in one chucking
- 34 tools on 6 axes, with live tools at 6,000 rpm
- Takes tools up to Ø25 mm (1 in) in diameter and 100 mm (3.94 in) long
- 8,000 rpm main spindle on 3.7/5.5 kW (5/7.4 hp) for Ø32 mm (1.3 in) bar
- 35 m/min. (1,378 in/min.) rapid traverse
Limitations
- Live tools are limited to 6,000 rpm, which slows small drills and end mills
- Main spindle power of 3.7/5.5 kW (5/7.4 hp) is half the 7.5/11 kW (10.1/14.7 hp) of the B0385
- Weighs 4,000 kg (8,818 lb) on a 2,628 mm (103.5 in) long footprint
- The table gives no back spindle speed or power, so back-end capability must be confirmed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to Ø32 mm (1.3 in). The main spindle runs to 8,000 rpm on 3.7/5.5 kW (5/7.4 hp), and the headstock stroke is 330 mm (13 in), so long parts of that diameter can be turned in one chucking.
02
Tools up to Ø25 mm (1 in) in diameter and 100 mm (3.94 in) long, across 34 tool positions. Live tools run at 6,000 rpm, which suits the larger drills and cutters this bar size calls for better than small-tool work.
03
The B0385 takes larger bar, Ø38 mm (1.5 in), and has a stronger 7.5/11 kW (10.1/14.7 hp) main spindle at 200-6,000 rpm, with live tools at 5,000 rpm. The BO326 takes Ø32 mm (1.3 in) with a 3.7/5.5 kW main spindle to 8,000 rpm and live tools at 6,000 rpm.
04
A Fanuc 32i-B, customised by Tsugami. The machine has 6 axes, and its rapid traverse is 35 m/min. (1,378 in/min.). Options and software are not in the table, so confirm them on the quotation.
