Overview
The Tsugami M06D-II is a 6 in chuck CNC lathe with a 12-station turret, 51 mm (2.01 in) bar capacity, a 260 mm (10.2 in) maximum turning diameter and 380 mm (15.0 in) of maximum turning length. Within the M06 family it is the plain version of the larger frame: one spindle, two linear axes in the rapid traverse row, and no Y or sub-spindle figures in its table.
Its spindle runs to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm) on 7.5/11 kW. Rapids are 24 m/min on X and 27 m/min on Z. The machine weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) and occupies 2,334 × 2,050 × 1,750 mm (91.9 × 80.7 × 68.9 in).
The compact M06J-II shows what the extra size buys. The M06J-II has the same 51 mm (2.01 in) bar and 260 mm (10.2 in) diameter, but only 8 stations, 290 mm (11.4 in) of turning length and a 5.5/7.5 kW spindle. A job that needs more than eight tools, or a part longer than the M06J-II can turn, is a reason to step up to the D.
The usual decision after that is which option to add. The M06DY-II keeps every turning figure and adds a Y axis at 12 m/min, at 5,200 kg (11,464 lb). The M06SD-II adds a sub-spindle with an A axis at 30 m/min and weighs 5,300 kg (11,684 lb). The M08D-II is the same 12-station, 380 mm (15.0 in), 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) machine with an 8 in chuck and 65 mm (2.56 in) bar. For parts that finish in one chucking, stay within 51 mm and need no off-centre features, the M06D-II is the simplest choice of the group.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 12-station turret, against 8 stations on the compact M06J-II
- 380 mm (15.0 in) of turning length and 260 mm (10.2 in) turning diameter on a 6 in chuck
- 7.5/11 kW spindle running to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm)
- Rapids of 24 m/min on X and 27 m/min on Z
- At 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) it is lighter than the 5,300 kg (11,684 lb) M06SD-II, with no sub-spindle or Y hardware the work may not need
Limitations
- No Y axis in the table, so off-centre holes and flats need the M06DY-II or a second operation
- No sub-spindle: the back of the part is finished in a second chucking, where the M06SD-II has a 4,500 rpm sub-spindle
- Bar capacity stops at 51 mm (2.01 in); the M08D-II takes 65 mm (2.56 in) on the same turret and turning length
- The table gives no driven-tool speed or power

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The M06DY-II adds a Y axis, listed at 12 m/min, and weighs 5,200 kg (11,464 lb) against 4,700 kg (10,362 lb). Everything else in the published table matches: 51 mm (2.01 in) bar, 260 mm (10.2 in) diameter, 380 mm (15.0 in) length, 12 stations and the 7.5/11 kW, 4,500 rpm spindle.
02
Decide on bar and chuck size. The M08D-II takes 65 mm (2.56 in) bar in an 8 in chuck and turns to 280 mm (11.0 in). The M06D-II takes 51 mm (2.01 in) bar in a 6 in chuck and turns to 260 mm (10.2 in). Turning length, turret, spindle rating and the 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) weight are listed the same for both.
03
The M06J-II is the compact model, with 8 stations, 290 mm (11.4 in) of turning length, a 5.5/7.5 kW spindle and a weight of 3,300 kg (7,275 lb). The M06D-II has 12 stations, 380 mm (15.0 in), 7.5/11 kW and 4,700 kg (10,362 lb). Bar capacity, turning diameter and spindle speed are the same.
04
Tsugami's table for this model lists no driven-tool speed or power and no Y axis. If a part needs cross drilling or milling, get the driven-tool figures for the M06D-II confirmed in writing, or look at the M06DY-II, which adds a Y axis at 12 m/min.
