How much does the Tsugami M08J cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Tsugami. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Tsugami M08J is a 2-axis CNC turning centre with an 8 inch chuck, an 8-station turret and a 9 / 11 kW (12 / 15 hp) spindle that runs to 4,000 rpm. It turns up to 280 mm (11.02 in) in diameter and 290 mm (11.4 in) in length, and takes 65 mm (2.56 in) barstock through a 73 mm (2.87 in) spindle bore. It is a chucking lathe with a turret, not a Swiss-type machine.
The spindle nose is JIS A2-6 on a 100 mm (3.94 in) bearing inner diameter. Strokes are X 160 mm (6.30 in) and Z 330 mm (12.99 in), rapids X 24 m/min and Z 27 m/min (945 / 1,062 ipm), and cutting feed runs from 1 to 6,000 mm/min (1 to 236 in/min). Least input increment is 0.001 mm (0.00004 in) on a FANUC 0i-TF control.
The J is the compact member of the M08 range. The M08D-II on the same 8 in chuck has 12 turret stations, 380 mm (15.0 in) of turning length and a 7.5/11 kW motor to 4,500 rpm, and weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb). The M08J trades turret capacity and length for a lighter, smaller machine at 3,300 kg (7,275 lb). Tooling is 25 mm (0.98 in) OD shanks and 40 mm (1.57 in) drill holders, so a typical job runs a handful of OD, ID and drilling tools with no live tooling listed.
For installation, plan for 27 kVA of power, compressed air at 0.5 MPa, 100 NL/min, 3,300 kg (7,275 lb) and a footprint of 1,690 x 1,673 x 1,600 mm (66.54 x 65.87 x 62.99 in). The M08J-II lists the same diameter, length, station count and weight, with its 4,000 rpm given as a maximum over a 3,500 rpm rating.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 65 mm (2.56 in) barstock through a 73 mm (2.87 in) spindle bore, with an 8 inch chuck
- 9 / 11 kW (12 / 15 hp) spindle motor on a JIS A2-6 nose
- 280 mm (11.02 in) maximum machining diameter and 290 mm (11.4 in) machining length
- Rapids of X 24 m/min and Z 27 m/min (945 / 1,062 ipm)
- Compact 1,690 x 1,673 mm (66.54 x 65.87 in) footprint for an 8 inch chuck lathe
Limitations
- 8 turret stations, against 12 on the M08D-II
- Two axes only: no live tooling, Y axis or sub spindle is listed
- Spindle maximum of 4,000 rpm, below the 4,500 rpm of the M08D-II
- Machining length of 290 mm (11.4 in), against 380 mm (15.0 in) on the M08D-II

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. Its specification describes a 2-axis CNC turning centre with an 8 inch chuck and an 8-station turret. It turns up to 280 mm (11.02 in) in diameter and takes 65 mm (2.56 in) barstock. There is no guide bushing or sliding headstock in the figures.
02
The M08D-II has 12 turret stations where the M08J has 8. It also offers 380 mm (15.0 in) of turning length against 290 mm (11.4 in), and 4,500 rpm against 4,000 rpm, so the M08D-II is the longer, faster machine. The M08D-II weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) against 3,300 kg (7,275 lb) for the M08J. The M08D-II and M08J both have an 8 inch chuck and 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity, and both motors top out at 11 kW.
03
The turret has 8 stations, takes 25 mm (0.98 in) OD tool shanks and has a 40 mm (1.57 in) drill holder hole. No driven tool stations are listed, so milling and cross drilling need a different machine.
04
A 27 kVA power supply, compressed air at 0.5 MPa, 100 NL/min, and floor space for 1,690 x 1,673 x 1,600 mm (66.54 x 65.87 x 62.99 in). The machine weighs 3,300 kg (7,275 lb).
05
On the figures, very little. The M08J-II lists the same 280 mm (11.0 in) turning diameter, 290 mm (11.4 in) length, 8 stations, 65 mm (2.56 in) bar and 3,300 kg (7,275 lb). The M08J-II spindle is given as 4,000 rpm (rated 3,500 rpm) with a 1,500 rpm low-speed type as an option, and its motor as 9/11 kW.
