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 M10D is a 10 in chuck CNC lathe that turns parts up to 400 mm (15.7 in) in diameter and 500 mm (19.7 in) long, with a 12-station turret and a 15/18.5 kW spindle running to 4,000 rpm (rated 3,500 rpm).
Read it as the larger counterpart of the M08D-II. Going from the M08D-II to the M10D, the chuck grows from 8 in to 10 in, turning diameter from 280 mm (11.0 in) to 400 mm (15.7 in) and turning length from 380 mm (15.0 in) to 500 mm (19.7 in). Spindle power moves up from the 7.5/11 kW of the M08D-II, and rapids rise from its 24 m/min (X) and 27 m/min (Z) to 30 m/min and 33 m/min. Turret capacity stays at 12 stations. The M08D-II keeps one advantage, a 4,500 rpm top speed, which helps on small-diameter bar work.
Against the M10J, which lists the same envelope, spindle and turret, the M10D is the heavier machine at 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) against 4,700 kg (10,362 lb). It measures 2,905 × 1,675 × 1,780 mm (114 × 65.9 × 70.1 in). Tsugami's table gives no bar capacity for it, so confirm the spindle bore before planning bar-fed work.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 15/18.5 kW spindle, against 7.5/11 kW on the M08D-II
- 12-station turret with 30 m/min (X) and 33 m/min (Z) rapids
- 400 mm (15.7 in) turning diameter and 500 mm (19.7 in) turning length from a 10 in chuck
Limitations
- Top speed is 4,000 rpm (rated 3,500 rpm), below the 4,500 rpm of the M08D-II
- The table states no bar capacity, driven-tool or Y-axis figures
- At 5,000 kg (11,023 lb) it outweighs the 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) M10J, so check floor loading

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The M10D is the bigger machine in every listed envelope figure: the M08D-II has an 8 in chuck against 10 in, 280 mm (11.0 in) of turning diameter against 400 mm (15.7 in) and 380 mm (15.0 in) of length against 500 mm (19.7 in). The M08D-II spindle is rated 7.5/11 kW against 15/18.5 kW. Both have 12 turret stations; the M08D-II runs faster, to 4,500 rpm.
02
On the listed figures, only weight and size. Both turn 400 mm (15.7 in) by 500 mm (19.7 in) from a 10 in chuck, run to 4,000 rpm (rated 3,500 rpm) at 15/18.5 kW and carry 12 turret stations. The M10D weighs 5,000 kg (11,023 lb), the M10J 4,700 kg (10,362 lb). Ask Tsugami what the D and J builds differ in before choosing.
