Overview
The Tsugami M08SJ-II carries two spindles, an 8 in chuck on the main side for 65 mm (2.56 in) bar and a 6 in chuck on the opposing sub-spindle, with a 12-station turret working both. Tsugami lists a 280 mm (11.0 in) turning diameter and 380 mm (15.0 in) of turning length.
The model name invites a comparison with the compact M08J-II, and the figures do not support it. The M08J-II is the short, light machine of the range: 8 stations, 290 mm (11.4 in) of turning length, a 9/11 kW spindle limited to 4,000 rpm, and 3,300 kg (7,275 lb). The M08SJ-II instead follows the larger frame, with 12 stations, 380 mm, a 7.5/11 kW main spindle to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm) and a weight of 5,270 kg (11,618 lb). Anyone shortlisting it as a compact twin-spindle machine should compare it by these figures, not by the letters.
The second spindle is what the weight buys. Rated 5.5/7.5 kW and running to the same 4,500 rpm, it collects the part from the main spindle on an A axis listed at 30 m/min and machines the back face without an operator. For a shop running flanges, caps or hydraulic fittings in batches, that removes the second setup and the handling between them.
Floor space is 2,474 × 2,050 × 1,750 mm (97.4 × 80.7 × 68.9 in). The single-spindle M08D-II, with the same main spindle and turret, is listed at 4,700 kg (10,362 lb). No Y axis appears in the table and no driven-tool speed or power is given, so off-centre features are outside what the published figures support.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Sub-spindle on 5.5/7.5 kW running to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm) for back-side work
- 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity on an 8 in main chuck with 7.5/11 kW
- 12 stations and 380 mm (15.0 in) of turning length, against 8 stations and 290 mm (11.4 in) on the M08J-II
- A axis at 30 m/min, faster than the X and Z rapids, for quick part transfer
Limitations
- Heavy at 5,270 kg (11,618 lb), against 3,300 kg (7,275 lb) for the compact M08J-II
- Sub chuck is 6 in, so the second side must be gripped on a smaller diameter than the 8 in main chuck allows
- All tools for both ends share the 12 turret positions
- Table gives no Y axis or driven-tool rating

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Not in its published figures. The M08J-II has 8 stations, 290 mm (11.4 in) of turning length, a 9/11 kW spindle and 3,300 kg (7,275 lb). The M08SJ-II lists 12 stations, 380 mm (15.0 in), a 7.5/11 kW main spindle with a sub-spindle, and 5,270 kg (11,618 lb).
02
It takes the part from the main spindle, moving on an A axis listed at 30 m/min, and machines the back in the same cycle. It runs to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm) on 5.5/7.5 kW and carries a 6 in chuck.
03
The M08D-II has the same 8 in chuck, 65 mm (2.56 in) bar, 12 stations, 380 mm (15.0 in) length and 7.5/11 kW main spindle, without the sub-spindle. The M08D-II weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb), where the M08SJ-II weighs 5,270 kg (11,618 lb).
04
A floor area of 2,474 × 2,050 × 1,750 mm (97.4 × 80.7 × 68.9 in) plus working space, and a floor rated for 5,270 kg (11,618 lb). Plan where finished parts leave the sub-spindle side and where bar is loaded.
