How much does the Tsugami HE10J 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 HE10J is listed as a 10 mm Swiss-type lathe with a 15,000 RPM main spindle, a 12,000 RPM sub spindle, 8,000 RPM driven tools, six axes and 20 tool stations. The name is not on Tsugami's current product pages, and the table here has not been checked against the maker. Read the listed figures as unconfirmed.
For small-diameter work the speed figures are the point. At 10 mm the largest bar is small, and 15,000 RPM on the main spindle is what gives a usable surface speed on diameters that size and below. The listed maximum part length is 120 mm, so this is a machine for short, slender work rather than shafts.
The guide bushing is described as precision-ground and oil-lubricated. The table also lists positioning accuracy of ±0.001 mm and a Fanuc 32i-B control. The accuracy claim in particular should be checked against Tsugami's own documents, since it is the kind of figure that depends on how it was measured.
The machine is given at approx. 1,200 kg on a 1,100 x 1,200 mm footprint. The table gives no spindle power, no axis travels and no rapid traverse, so there is no basis here for judging how hard the machine can cut.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 15,000 RPM main spindle for small diameters up to 10 mm
- 12,000 RPM sub spindle and 8,000 RPM driven tools in the listed figures
- 20 tool stations on six axes
- Compact 1,100 x 1,200 mm footprint at approx. 1,200 kg
Limitations
- Not on Tsugami's current product pages, so none of the figures is confirmed
- 10 mm bar capacity and 120 mm part length restrict it to small parts
- No spindle power, axis travel or rapid traverse is given

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The HE10J does not appear on Tsugami's current product pages, so the figures on this page could not be checked against the maker. If you are looking at a used HE10J, ask the seller for the original specification sheet and compare it with the listed figures.
02
The listed figures give 15,000 RPM on the main spindle, 12,000 RPM on the sub spindle and 8,000 RPM on the driven tools. No spindle power is listed, so cutting capacity at the full 10 mm diameter cannot be judged from this table.
03
The table lists a 10 mm maximum bar diameter and a 120 mm maximum part length. Axis travels are not given, so confirm the machining length per chucking with Tsugami before quoting long slender parts.
04
The table lists a Fanuc 32i-B control and a precision-ground, oil-lubricated guide bushing. It also gives positioning accuracy of ±0.001 mm; ask how that figure was measured before relying on it for tolerance planning.
