How much does the Tsugami BW389Z 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 BW389Z is listed as a nine-axis Swiss-type lathe with a bar capacity of 38 mm (1.50 in). The axes named in its table are X1, Y1, Z1, X2, Y2, Z2, X3, Y3 and Z3, and the guide bushing can be converted for guide-bushless running.
That is all the listed table holds, and it has not been confirmed against a Tsugami spec sheet. It gives no spindle speeds, motor rating, control, tool count, machining length or weight, so ask for the machine's own specification before planning work on it.
The axis list is the informative row. Three X/Y/Z groups point to a third tool group working alongside the front and back tooling, so two tools can cut at once on a large bar. A convertible guide bushing on a 38 mm machine means long shafts can be supported in the bushing, while short, large-diameter parts can run without it.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed bar capacity is 38 mm (1.50 in), on nine axes: X1, Y1, Z1, X2, Y2, Z2, X3, Y3 and Z3. Confirm the figure on the machine's own specification sheet before ordering tooling or a bar feeder.
02
The listed table says the guide bushing is convertible to guide-bushless running. The bushing supports long, slender parts close to the tool; running without it suits short parts and leaves less remnant on each bar. No machining length is given for either mode.
