How much does the Tsugami M08D-II cost?
Estimated price range
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 M08D-II is an 8 in chuck CNC lathe for bar up to 65 mm (2.56 in), with a 280 mm (11.0 in) maximum turning diameter, 380 mm (15.0 in) of maximum turning length and a 12-station turret. Its spindle reaches 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm) on 7.5/11 kW.
It shares its frame with the 6 in M06D-II, and the published figures show exactly where the two part company. The M06D-II takes 51 mm (2.01 in) bar in a 6 in chuck and turns to 260 mm (10.2 in); everything else, from turret and turning length to spindle rating, rapids and the 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) weight, is listed the same. The choice comes down to the largest bar the shop runs and whether an 8 in chuck is needed for chucked blanks.
Within the M08 range, the closer comparison is the M08J-II. The M08J-II has more spindle power, 9/11 kW, but a lower ceiling of 4,000 rpm (rated 3,500 rpm), only 8 stations and 290 mm (11.4 in) of turning length. The M08D-II suits work that needs a longer part or a bigger tool list; the M08J-II suits shorter parts where heavier roughing matters more than tool count.
Rapids are 24 m/min on X and 27 m/min on Z. The footprint is 2,334 × 2,050 × 1,750 mm (91.9 × 80.7 × 68.9 in) and the machine weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb). The table lists only X and Z, with no Y axis, sub-spindle or driven-tool rating. For off-centre work the M08DY-II adds a Y axis at 12 m/min.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity and an 8 in chuck, against 51 mm (2.01 in) and 6 in on the M06D-II
- 12-station turret with 380 mm (15.0 in) of turning length
- 280 mm (11.0 in) maximum turning diameter
- 7.5/11 kW spindle to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm), faster than the 4,000 rpm of the M08J-II
- Same 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) weight as the 6 in M06D-II despite the larger capacity
Limitations
- Lower spindle power than the M08J-II, which lists 9/11 kW
- No Y axis in the table; off-centre features need the M08DY-II or a second machine
- No sub-spindle, so the second side of a part needs another chucking
- The table gives no driven-tool speed or power

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Choose by bar 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) in a 6 in chuck and turns to 260 mm (10.2 in). Turret, 380 mm (15.0 in) length, 7.5/11 kW spindle and 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) weight are the same on the M06D-II.
02
The M08J-II has 8 stations and 290 mm (11.4 in) of turning length, and its spindle gives 9/11 kW with a 4,000 rpm (rated 3,500 rpm) ceiling. The M08D-II has 12 stations, 380 mm (15.0 in) and 7.5/11 kW to 4,500 rpm. Both take 65 mm (2.56 in) bar in an 8 in chuck.
03
Its table lists no Y axis and no driven-tool speed or power. Ask Tsugami what driven-tool option is offered on this model before quoting milled features. The M08DY-II adds a Y axis at 12 m/min on the same 65 mm (2.56 in) capacity.
04
The listed footprint is 2,334 × 2,050 × 1,750 mm (91.9 × 80.7 × 68.9 in) and the weight 4,700 kg (10,362 lb). Add working space around it for bar loading, chip removal and service access.
