Overview

The Tsugami M08D-II is the larger-capacity sibling of the M06D-II, pairing live tooling with an 8-inch chuck platform for shops that need to turn and mill medium-sized parts in a single setup. It's the machine you reach for when your parts are too big for the M06D-II but you still want Tsugami's precision without jumping to a full-sized turning center.

Chuck capacity tops out at 280 mm (11.02 in) with bar work up to 65 mm (2.56 in). The 7.5/11 kW (10/14.8 HP) spindle runs 200-4,500 RPM, giving you solid performance across a range of materials. The 12-station turret accepts live milling tools on all stations as an option, so you can load up a complex part cycle with turning tools, drills, taps, and end mills all in the same turret.

At 5,300 kg and 2,470 x 1,850 x 1,750 mm, the M08D-II is heavier and longer than the M06D-II. That extra mass translates directly to stability during milling operations, where lateral cutting forces can cause problems on lighter machines. Rapid traverse rates of 24 m/min on X and 27 m/min on Z keep non-cutting time under control.

The M08D-II is a practical choice for production shops that handle fittings, flanges, connectors, and similar parts requiring both turned features and cross-drilled holes, flats, or slots. One setup means better concentricity between turned and milled features, and you'll free up your machining center for parts that actually need it.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

280 mm chuck and 65 mm bar capacity handles a wide range of medium-sized production parts
12-station turret with live tooling on all stations enables complex part cycles in one setup
5,300 kg machine weight provides excellent stability during milling and interrupted cuts
7.5/11 kW spindle motor balances speed and torque for versatile material handling
Eliminates secondary milling operations, improving part accuracy and reducing cycle time
C-axis capability enables precise positioning for cross-drilling, hex milling, and slotting

Limitations

No sub-spindle for back-working operations on the second end of parts
Larger footprint than J-series machines at 2,470 x 1,850 mm
Live tooling maintenance adds complexity compared to simple turret lathes
Milling power limited compared to dedicated machining centers for heavy milling operations

Best For

Hydraulic and pneumatic fitting manufacturers needing turned bodies with cross-holes and hex features Automotive component shops producing flanges, hubs, and fittings with off-axis features Valve body manufacturers requiring precision turned and drilled components Production shops consolidating lathe and mill operations into single-setup machining Contract manufacturers handling diverse parts requiring both turning and secondary milling

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the M08D-II compare to the M06D-II?

The M08D-II steps up to 280 mm chuck capacity (vs 260 mm) and 65 mm bar (vs 51 mm). Both share the same 7.5/11 kW motor and 12-station turret with live tooling. The M08D-II is 600 kg heavier and slightly longer. Choose the M08D-II if your parts regularly exceed 260 mm or need 65 mm bar stock.

02 Can I add a sub-spindle to the M08D-II?

No, the M08D-II doesn't offer a sub-spindle option. For live tooling with a sub-spindle, look at the Tsugami M08SD-II, which combines the 12-station live turret with a built-in motor sub-spindle for complete part machining in one cycle.

03 What kind of milling can the M08D-II do?

The M08D-II handles cross-drilling, tapping, slotting, flat milling, and hex milling using its C-axis and live turret tools. It's well-suited for secondary operations on turned parts. For heavy pocket milling or complex 3D contouring, a dedicated machining center is still the better tool.

04 Does the M08D-II have a Y-axis?

No. For Y-axis capability, look at the M08DY-II, which adds ±50 mm of Y-axis travel. The Y-axis enables off-center milling and drilling that's impossible with just X, Z, and C axes. It opens up features like off-center holes, flats at arbitrary positions, and more complex milled geometry.

05 What control does the M08D-II use?

The M08D-II runs on a Fanuc CNC control, the industry standard for Tsugami machines. The Fanuc platform supports C-axis interpolation for live tooling operations and provides the programming flexibility needed for combined turning and milling cycles.
