Overview
The Tsugami M08JL5-II is the long-bed version of the M08J-II: an 8 in chuck lathe with 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity and 280 mm (11.0 in) turning diameter whose maximum turning length grows to 500 mm (19.7 in). The 8-station turret and the 9/11 kW spindle, running to 4,000 rpm (rated 3,500 rpm) with a 1,500 rpm low-speed type as an option, are carried over.
The extra length is the whole point. The M08J-II stops at 290 mm (11.4 in) and the 12-station M08D-II at 380 mm (15.0 in), so shafts, spindles, axles and long pins between those figures and 500 mm need either this machine or a second chucking. The cost in floor space is modest. The footprint is 2,170 × 1,778 × 1,600 mm (85.4 × 70.0 × 63.0 in) and the weight 3,430 kg (7,562 lb), against 3,300 kg (7,275 lb) for the M08J-II.
Long work also changes the cutting. A bar that sticks out several hundred millimetres from the chuck deflects under a roughing tool, and the 9/11 kW available can easily exceed what a slender shaft will stand. The spec table does not list a tailstock or steady rest, so the support available for long parts, and how it is fitted, is the first thing to settle with Tsugami.
The turret is the other limit. With 8 stations, a long part that needs turning, grooving, threading and several drilling or boring tools will use every position. Rapids are 24 m/min on X and 27 m/min on Z. No Y axis or driven-tool data appears in the table.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 500 mm (19.7 in) maximum turning length, against 290 mm (11.4 in) on the M08J-II and 380 mm (15.0 in) on the M08D-II
- 9/11 kW spindle with an optional 1,500 rpm low-speed type
- 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity and 280 mm (11.0 in) turning diameter on an 8 in chuck
- Only 3,430 kg (7,562 lb) on a 2,170 × 1,778 × 1,600 mm (85.4 × 70.0 × 63.0 in) footprint
Limitations
- 8 turret stations, where the M08D-II has 12
- No tailstock or steady rest appears in the table, and long slender parts usually need support
- Spindle maximum is 4,000 rpm (rated 3,500 rpm), so small-diameter finishing runs below ideal surface speed
- No Y axis or driven-tool figures listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Turning length and size. The M08JL5-II turns parts up to 500 mm (19.7 in) long and weighs 3,430 kg (7,562 lb). The M08J-II stops at 290 mm (11.4 in) and weighs 3,300 kg (7,275 lb). Bar capacity, chuck, turret and the 9/11 kW spindle are the same.
02
For length, yes: 500 mm (19.7 in) against 380 mm (15.0 in) on the M08D-II. The M08D-II has 12 stations rather than 8 and a 4,500 rpm spindle on 7.5/11 kW, so it remains the better fit for shorter parts with long tool lists.
03
The published table does not list one, nor a steady rest. For shafts approaching 500 mm (19.7 in), support at the free end usually decides the achievable finish and cut depth, so confirm the tailstock arrangement with Tsugami before ordering.
04
2,170 × 1,778 × 1,600 mm (85.4 × 70.0 × 63.0 in) and 3,430 kg (7,562 lb), as listed. Add space around it for loading long bars or blanks and for chip removal.
