How much does the Tsugami C300-V cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Tsugami C300-V that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Tsugami C300-V is the largest machine in its C-series group: a precision lathe with a 6 in chuck, 38 mm (1.50 in) bar capacity, 300 mm (11.8 in) of travel on both X and Z, a 260 mm (10.2 in) swing and a 5.5/7.5 kW spindle that runs to 6,000 rpm (rated 5,000 rpm).
No other model in the group takes a 6 in chuck. The C200, C220 and C180 are limited to 4 in, and the C180 and C150 also offer 3 in. That makes the C300-V the one to consider when blanks are too large to hold well in a small chuck, or when the grip force of a larger chuck is needed for steel. The 38 mm (1.50 in) bar capacity is also the highest listed, against 32 mm (1.26 in) on the C200.
Power is the other step. The continuous rating of 5.5 kW is above the 3.7 kW of the C200, and both share a 7.5 kW upper figure. Speed drops as the size goes up: 6,000 rpm here, 7,000 rpm on the C200 and 12,000 rpm on the C220. For small diameters in free-cutting brass the smaller machines reach a useful surface speed sooner; the C300-V is set up for larger diameters where 6,000 rpm is enough.
The Z stroke of 300 mm (11.8 in) is double the 150 mm (5.91 in) of the C180, which allows longer parts and deeper bores from one chucking. Rapid traverse is 24 m/min, the same as the C180. The least input increment is 0.1 µm on X in diameter.
The machine weighs 1,900 kg (4,189 lb) and occupies 1,522 × 1,535 × 1,600 mm (59.9 × 60.4 × 63.0 in). The rows carry no loader note, and the table lists no tool count or control.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 6 in chuck, the only one among the C-series models compared here
- 38 mm (1.50 in) bar capacity, against 32 mm (1.26 in) on the C200
- 300 mm (11.8 in) of travel on both X and Z
- 5.5/7.5 kW spindle motor, the highest continuous rating in the group
- 24 m/min rapid traverse, faster than the 15 m/min of the C220
Limitations
- Spindle tops out at 6,000 rpm (rated 5,000 rpm), the lowest in the group
- Rapid traverse of 24 m/min trails the 32 m/min of the C200
- No loader is mentioned in the table, unlike the C220 and C180
- No tool count, tool layout or control is given

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The C300-V is bigger in every envelope figure than the C200: a 6 in chuck against 4 in, 38 mm (1.50 in) bar against 32 mm (1.26 in), 300 mm (11.8 in) of X and Z against 200 mm (7.87 in) and a 260 mm (10.2 in) swing against 250 mm (9.84 in). Its motor is 5.5/7.5 kW where the C200 has 3.7/7.5 kW, but the C200 is quicker, with 7,000 rpm against 6,000 rpm and 32 m/min rapids against 24 m/min.
02
The maximum swing is 260 mm (10.2 in), the chuck is 6 in and both X and Z travel are 300 mm (11.8 in). Bar stock up to 38 mm (1.50 in) can be used. Check the real machining diameter for your tool layout with Tsugami, as the table gives swing rather than a machining diameter.
03
Its spindle reaches 6,000 rpm with a rated speed of 5,000 rpm. For small diameters the C220 at 12,000 rpm or the C180 at 15,000 rpm reach a useful surface speed far sooner. The C300-V is the choice when part size and chuck size matter more than top speed.
04
It weighs 1,900 kg (4,189 lb) and measures 1,522 × 1,535 × 1,600 mm (59.9 × 60.4 × 63.0 in). Neither figure mentions a loader, so if automatic loading is planned, ask Tsugami for the dimensions and weight with it fitted.
