Overview
The Tsugami M06SD-II is a twin-spindle CNC lathe: a 6 in main chuck with 51 mm (2.01 in) bar capacity faces a second spindle, also fitted with a 6 in chuck, and both work from a 12-station turret. Maximum turning diameter is 260 mm (10.2 in) and maximum turning length 380 mm (15.0 in).
The sub-spindle is what separates it from the M06D-II. It runs to the same 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm) as the main spindle, on 5.5/7.5 kW against the main spindle's 7.5/11 kW, and it travels on its own A axis at 30 m/min. In practice that means the part is handed over after the first side is finished and the back face, chamfer, bore or thread is cut without an operator reloading it. The lower power rating fits that role: second-side work is usually lighter than roughing from bar.
The machine weighs 5,300 kg (11,684 lb), against 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) for the M06D-II, and the footprint is 2,474 × 2,050 × 1,750 mm (97.4 × 80.7 × 68.9 in). X and Z rapids are 24 m/min and 27 m/min.
Two things to plan before ordering. The sub chuck is 6 in, so the transferred part has to be held on a diameter that chuck and its jaws can grip. And because both spindles share one 12-station turret, the tool list for both ends has to fit those 12 positions together. The table shows no Y axis on this model; the M06DY-II has one, at 12 m/min, but no sub-spindle.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Sub-spindle running to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm) on 5.5/7.5 kW finishes the back of the part without a second setup
- Sub-spindle travels on an A axis at 30 m/min
- Main spindle keeps the 7.5/11 kW rating and 51 mm (2.01 in) bar capacity of the M06D-II
- 12-station turret serving both spindles
- 6 in chuck on both main and sub-spindle
Limitations
- Both spindles share 12 turret stations, so tools for first and second side compete for positions
- Weighs 5,300 kg (11,684 lb), against 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) for the M06D-II
- No Y axis in the table, so off-centre milling still needs another machine
- The table gives no driven-tool speed or power

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A second 6 in chuck spindle that runs to 4,500 rpm, rated 4,000 rpm, on 5.5/7.5 kW and moves on an A axis at 30 m/min. It takes the part from the main spindle so the second side is machined in the same cycle.
02
The turning figures are the same: 51 mm (2.01 in) bar, 260 mm (10.2 in) diameter, 380 mm (15.0 in) length, 12 stations, 7.5/11 kW. The M06SD-II adds the sub-spindle and its A axis, and weighs 5,300 kg (11,684 lb) where the M06D-II weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb).
03
Not according to its table, which lists rapids on X, Z and A only. The M06DY-II has a Y axis at 12 m/min but no sub-spindle. If a part needs both, ask Tsugami which M06 model combines them.
04
The listed footprint is 2,474 × 2,050 × 1,750 mm (97.4 × 80.7 × 68.9 in) and the weight 5,300 kg (11,684 lb). Allow additional room for bar loading and for unloading finished parts from the sub-spindle side.
