How much does the Tsugami M08DY-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 M08DY-II adds a Y axis to the 8 in M08D-II lathe. Capacity stays at 65 mm (2.56 in) bar, 280 mm (11.0 in) turning diameter and 380 mm (15.0 in) turning length on a 12-station turret, and the rapid traverse row gains Y at 12 m/min beside 24 m/min on X and 27 m/min on Z.
Where this machine pays for itself is on larger bar parts that also carry milled detail: flats on 65 mm stock, a cross hole through a flange, a slot along a shaft. With a Y axis the turret tool can be moved off the spindle centreline while the spindle holds the part in position, so those features are cut before the part comes out of the 8 in chuck.
The spindle is unchanged from the plain D, at 7.5/11 kW and 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm). The machine is heavier and taller: 5,200 kg (11,464 lb) on a footprint of 2,334 × 2,050 × 1,930 mm (91.9 × 80.7 × 76.0 in), where the M08D-II weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb). The listed weight matches the 6 in M06DY-II, which takes 51 mm (2.01 in) bar instead.
The spec table is short and leaves out two figures that matter for Y-axis work: the Y stroke and the driven-tool speed and power. Both decide how far off centre a feature can be and how much material a milling tool can remove, so get them from Tsugami against a real part drawing. The table also lists no sub-spindle, so the back of the part needs a second chucking.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Y axis at 12 m/min on a machine with 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity
- 8 in chuck and 280 mm (11.0 in) turning diameter
- 12 turret stations and 380 mm (15.0 in) of turning length
- Keeps the 7.5/11 kW, 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm) spindle of the M08D-II
Limitations
- Y stroke is not stated, so the reach of off-centre tools is unknown from the table
- Driven-tool speed and power are not listed
- Weighs 5,200 kg (11,464 lb), against 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) for the M08D-II
- No sub-spindle for second-side work

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The M08DY-II adds a Y axis, listed at 12 m/min, and weighs 5,200 kg (11,464 lb) against 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) for the M08D-II. Bar capacity, turning diameter and length, turret and spindle rating are the same on both, so the choice rests on whether parts need off-centre features.
02
The M06DY-II has the same Y axis, 12-station turret, 380 mm (15.0 in) turning length and 5,200 kg (11,464 lb) weight, but takes 51 mm (2.01 in) bar in a 6 in chuck and turns to 260 mm (10.2 in). The M08DY-II moves up to 65 mm (2.56 in) bar, an 8 in chuck and 280 mm (11.0 in).
03
Tsugami's published table for this model gives the Y rapid rate, 12 m/min, but not the stroke. The stroke sets the largest off-centre distance a tool can reach, so ask for it, together with the driven-tool speed and power, before quoting parts with milled features.
04
It weighs 5,200 kg (11,464 lb) and the listed footprint is 2,334 × 2,050 × 1,930 mm (91.9 × 80.7 × 76.0 in). Check the 1,930 mm (76.0 in) figure against doorways and overhead clearance on the route in.
