How much does the Tsugami M08JL5L-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 M08JL5L-II is an 8 in chuck CNC lathe with a longer bed than the rest of the M08 line: it turns up to 350 mm (13.8 in) in diameter and 500 mm (19.7 in) in length, and takes bar up to 65 mm (2.56 in). Its spindle and turret match the M08J-II. Both run to 4,000 rpm (rated 3,500 rpm) on a 9/11 kW motor and carry an 8-station turret. The M08J-II, though, stops at 280 mm (11.0 in) of diameter and 290 mm (11.4 in) of length, so the L5L version is the one to pick once shafts, longer spindles or larger flanges come into the mix.
The machine measures 2,376 × 1,635 × 1,700 mm (93.5 × 64.4 × 66.9 in) and weighs 3,520 kg (7,760 lb), against 3,300 kg (7,275 lb) for the M08J-II. Rapids are 24 m/min on X and 27 m/min on Z, the same as the M08J-II and M08D-II.
A 1,500 rpm low-speed spindle type is offered as an option. On a lathe that swings 350 mm, that version makes sense for shops whose work is mostly large-diameter steel or cast parts turned at low surface speed rather than small bar parts, but it gives up the upper speed range.
The 8-station turret is the main constraint. The M08D-II and M08DY-II carry 12 stations and run to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm), and the DY adds a Y axis at 12 m/min, but both turn only 380 mm (15.0 in) long. Tsugami's table for this model gives no driven-tool or Y-axis figures, so plan it as a turning machine with a modest tool count. For more swing on the same 500 mm (19.7 in) length, the M10J steps up to a 10 in chuck, 400 mm (15.7 in) of diameter and a 15/18.5 kW spindle.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 500 mm (19.7 in) of turning length, against 290 mm (11.4 in) on the M08J-II and 380 mm (15.0 in) on the M08D-II
- 350 mm (13.8 in) maximum turning diameter from an 8 in chuck, against 280 mm (11.0 in) on the M08J-II and M08D-II
- 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity for bar-fed work
- Optional 1,500 rpm low-speed spindle type for large-diameter parts turned at low surface speed
- At 3,520 kg (7,760 lb) it is far lighter than the 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) M10J, which turns the same 500 mm length
Limitations
- Only 8 turret stations, against 12 on the M08D-II, M08DY-II and M10J
- The spec table gives no driven-tool or Y-axis figures; confirm with Tsugami before quoting parts with milled features
- Top speed of 4,000 rpm (rated 3,500 rpm) is below the 4,500 rpm of the M08D-II, which limits small-diameter finishing
- The 9/11 kW spindle is well short of the 15/18.5 kW on the M10J

Frequently Asked Questions
01
In the envelope and the weight. The M08JL5L-II turns up to 350 mm (13.8 in) in diameter and 500 mm (19.7 in) long; the M08J-II turns 280 mm (11.0 in) and 290 mm (11.4 in). Spindle speed (4,000 rpm, rated 3,500 rpm), the 9/11 kW rating, the 8-station turret and the rapids are the same. The M08JL5L-II weighs 3,520 kg (7,760 lb), the M08J-II 3,300 kg (7,275 lb).
02
Bar capacity is 65 mm (2.56 in), the same as the M08J-II, M08D-II and M08DY-II, and the chuck is 8 in. Chucked work can be turned up to 350 mm (13.8 in) in diameter, so the machine covers both bar parts and larger blanks.
03
Yes. The standard spindle runs to 4,000 rpm (rated 3,500 rpm), and Tsugami lists a 1,500 rpm low-speed type as an option. It suits work where large diameters keep surface speed in range at low rpm, and it is the wrong choice if small bar parts make up much of the mix.
04
Both turn 500 mm (19.7 in) long. The M10J has a 10 in chuck, 400 mm (15.7 in) of turning diameter, 12 turret stations, a 15/18.5 kW spindle and 30 / 33 m/min rapids, and weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb). The M08JL5L-II is lighter at 3,520 kg (7,760 lb) and lists a 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity, which the M10J table does not state.
05
The machine measures 2,376 × 1,635 × 1,700 mm (93.5 × 64.4 × 66.9 in) and weighs 3,520 kg (7,760 lb). Plan access for a bar feeder and chip handling when laying out the cell if the 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity will be used.
