Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Tsugami. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Tsugami M06J-II is the compact 8-station model of the M06 lathes. It keeps the family's 51 mm (2.01 in) bar capacity and 260 mm (10.2 in) maximum turning diameter on a 6 in chuck, but shortens the turning length to 290 mm (11.4 in) and runs a 5.5/7.5 kW spindle to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm).
Its case rests on size. The machine weighs 3,300 kg (7,275 lb) and occupies 1,865 × 1,673 × 1,600 mm (73.4 × 65.9 × 63.0 in), so it fits where the larger M06D-II would not. The M06D-II, by comparison, weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) and carries 12 stations, 380 mm (15.0 in) of turning length and a 7.5/11 kW spindle.
What decides between the two is the part. Eight tools cover a typical turned component (facing, roughing, finishing, grooving, threading, drilling and boring) with a position spare, but not a job that needs duplicate finishing tools or several drill sizes. A component longer than 290 mm needs the bigger frame. Where neither limit applies, the J gives the same bar size and the same 4,500 rpm ceiling in a smaller, lighter package.
The lower power rating is the other trade. 5.5/7.5 kW is ample for finishing and moderate roughing in steel on 51 mm bar, but heavy roughing from large chucked blanks near the 260 mm limit is better done on the M06D-II with its 7.5/11 kW spindle. Rapids are 24 m/min on X and 27 m/min on Z, the same as the M06D-II. The table lists no Y axis, sub-spindle or driven-tool figures.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Compact at 1,865 × 1,673 × 1,600 mm (73.4 × 65.9 × 63.0 in) and 3,300 kg (7,275 lb)
- Same 51 mm (2.01 in) bar capacity and 260 mm (10.2 in) turning diameter as the 12-station M06D-II
- 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm) spindle
- Rapids of 24 m/min on X and 27 m/min on Z, matching the M06D-II
Limitations
- 8 turret stations, against 12 on the M06D-II
- Turning length of 290 mm (11.4 in) where the M06D-II offers 380 mm (15.0 in)
- 5.5/7.5 kW spindle, below the 7.5/11 kW of the M06D-II, limits heavy roughing
- No Y axis, sub-spindle or driven-tool figures in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Against the M06D-II you give up turret stations (8 against 12), turning length (290 mm (11.4 in) against 380 mm (15.0 in)) and spindle power (5.5/7.5 kW against 7.5/11 kW). Bar capacity, turning diameter, spindle speed and rapids are listed the same. In return the M06J-II weighs 3,300 kg (7,275 lb), where the M06D-II weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb).
02
Tsugami lists 1,865 × 1,673 × 1,600 mm (73.4 × 65.9 × 63.0 in) and 3,300 kg (7,275 lb). Leave access around that for bar loading, chip removal and maintenance.
03
Up to 260 mm (10.2 in) in diameter in the 6 in chuck, 51 mm (2.01 in) from bar, and up to 290 mm (11.4 in) long. For longer parts the M06D-II gives 380 mm (15.0 in) on the same bar and diameter limits.
04
The published table shows no Y axis and no driven-tool speed or power, so plan on it as a turning machine. For off-centre features on the same 51 mm (2.01 in) bar size, the M06DY-II adds a Y axis at 12 m/min.
