How much does the Tsugami M08SY-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 M08SY-II is the top of the 8 in M08 range: an 8 in main spindle for 65 mm (2.56 in) bar, a 6 in sub-spindle, a Y axis and a 12-station turret, with a 280 mm (11.0 in) maximum turning diameter and 380 mm (15.0 in) of turning length. Four axes appear in its rapid traverse row: X at 24 m/min, Z at 27 m/min, Y at 12 m/min and A at 30 m/min.
This is the model for parts that would otherwise visit three machines. Picture a hydraulic body cut from bar: turned and drilled from bar on the 7.5/11 kW main spindle, given its off-centre ports and flats with the Y axis, then transferred to the 5.5/7.5 kW sub-spindle so the back face and bore are finished in the same cycle. Both spindles run to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm).
All of that hardware shows in the installation figures. The M08SY-II weighs 5,600 kg (12,346 lb) on a footprint of 2,474 × 2,050 × 1,930 mm (97.4 × 80.7 × 76.0 in). The M08DY-II, which has the Y axis but no sub-spindle, weighs 5,200 kg (11,464 lb); the M08D-II, with neither, 4,700 kg (10,362 lb).
Two limits are worth working through with a real part. First, one 12-station turret supplies every operation on both spindles, including the Y-axis tools, so long tool lists need planning. Second, the published table gives neither the Y stroke nor any driven-tool speed or power, and those figures determine which off-centre features are practical. Ask Tsugami for both before relying on the Y axis.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Main spindle, sub-spindle and Y axis in one 8 in machine
- 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity with a 280 mm (11.0 in) turning diameter
- Four listed rapid axes: 24 m/min X, 27 m/min Z, 12 m/min Y, 30 m/min A
- 7.5/11 kW main and 5.5/7.5 kW sub-spindle, both to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm)
Limitations
- At 5,600 kg (12,346 lb) it outweighs the M08DY-II at 5,200 kg (11,464 lb)
- Stands 1,930 mm (76.0 in) high
- Y stroke and driven-tool power are not given in the table
- 12 stations must hold the tools for main-side, Y-axis and sub-spindle work together
- 6 in sub chuck limits the second-side grip diameter

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A sub-spindle with a 6 in chuck, running to 4,500 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm) on 5.5/7.5 kW and travelling on an A axis at 30 m/min. The M08DY-II has the same Y axis and main spindle, finishes the back of the part in a second chucking, and weighs 5,200 kg (11,464 lb) against 5,600 kg (12,346 lb).
02
Only when parts need both off-centre features and second-side work. 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, with no Y axis or sub-spindle, and weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb). On simple turned parts the extra axes of the M08SY-II would sit idle.
03
It has a Y axis, listed at 12 m/min, which is the axis off-centre milling and drilling need. The table does not give driven-tool speed or power, or the Y stroke, so confirm both before quoting milled features.
04
5,600 kg (12,346 lb), on a listed footprint of 2,474 × 2,050 × 1,930 mm (97.4 × 80.7 × 76.0 in). Check floor loading, ceiling height and the delivery route against those figures.
