Overview
The Tsugami M06JC-II is a compact member of the M06 lathe line: a 6 in chuck, 42 mm (1.65 in) bar capacity, 220 mm (8.66 in) maximum turning diameter and 190 mm (7.48 in) maximum turning length, worked by an 8-station turret. It stands on 1,265 × 1,560 × 1,650 mm (49.8 × 61.4 × 65.0 in) and weighs 2,230 kg (4,916 lb), which makes it the model to consider when the cell is short of floor space rather than short of spindle.
The nearest sibling is the M06J-II, which also has 8 stations but takes 51 mm (2.01 in) bar, turns to 260 mm (10.2 in), offers 290 mm (11.4 in) of turning length and weighs 3,300 kg (7,275 lb). What the JC does not give up is the spindle. Both run to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm) on 5.5/7.5 kW, so on parts that fit inside the smaller envelope the cutting capability is the same.
That envelope points to short, compact work: bushes, fittings, caps, small flanges. On those diameters a 4,500 rpm ceiling keeps surface speed where carbide wants it, and 5.5/7.5 kW sets the practical limit on depth of cut in steel. Rapid traverse is given as a single figure, 24 m/min, with no separate X and Z values.
The spec table lists no Y axis, no sub-spindle and no driven-tool rating. Read as published, it describes a plain turning machine; if a part needs cross holes or back-end work, ask Tsugami what the M06JC-II can be configured with before planning around it.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Compact 1,265 × 1,560 × 1,650 mm (49.8 × 61.4 × 65.0 in) footprint for tight cells
- At 2,230 kg (4,916 lb) it is far lighter than the 3,300 kg (7,275 lb) M06J-II, which eases rigging and floor loading
- Keeps a 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm), 5.5/7.5 kW spindle despite the smaller frame
- 42 mm (1.65 in) bar capacity plus a 6 in chuck covers both small bar work and chucked blanks
Limitations
- Turning length is 190 mm (7.48 in), against 290 mm (11.4 in) on the M06J-II
- Bar capacity of 42 mm (1.65 in) and turning diameter of 220 mm (8.66 in) sit below the 51 mm (2.01 in) and 260 mm (10.2 in) of the M06J-II
- Only 8 turret stations, so jobs with many tools need careful tool sharing
- No Y axis, sub-spindle or driven-tool figures appear in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The M06J-II is the larger machine: 51 mm (2.01 in) bar, 260 mm (10.2 in) turning diameter, 290 mm (11.4 in) turning length and 3,300 kg (7,275 lb). The M06JC-II has 42 mm (1.65 in), 220 mm (8.66 in), 190 mm (7.48 in) and 2,230 kg (4,916 lb). Both have 8 stations, a 6 in chuck and the 4,500 rpm, 5.5/7.5 kW spindle.
02
Up to 220 mm (8.66 in) in diameter and 190 mm (7.48 in) long, held in a 6 in chuck. From bar, the limit is 42 mm (1.65 in). Longer parts need the M06J-II, with 290 mm (11.4 in), or the M06D-II, with 380 mm (15.0 in).
03
The listed footprint is 1,265 × 1,560 × 1,650 mm (49.8 × 61.4 × 65.0 in) and the weight 2,230 kg (4,916 lb). Allow extra room for bar loading, chip removal and door swing around that envelope.
04
The spindle runs to 4,500 rpm, rated 4,000 rpm, on 5.5/7.5 kW. Rapid traverse is listed as 24 m/min. The table does not split that figure by axis and gives no Y-axis or driven-tool data.
