How much does the Tsugami M10J 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 M10J is the 10 in chuck step up from the M08 J-type lathes, with 400 mm (15.7 in) of turning diameter, 500 mm (19.7 in) of turning length and a 15/18.5 kW spindle that runs to 4,000 rpm (rated 3,500 rpm).
Set beside the M08JL5L-II, which also turns 500 mm (19.7 in) long, the difference is mostly power and tooling. The M08JL5L-II has a 9/11 kW spindle, an 8-station turret and 350 mm (13.8 in) of diameter on an 8 in chuck. The M10J carries 12 stations, so a job that needs roughing, finishing, grooving, threading and drilling tools on both diameters can stay on one turret. Rapids are also quicker, 30 m/min on X and 33 m/min on Z against 24 m/min and 27 m/min on the M08JL5L-II. Top speed is the same 4,000 rpm, so the M10J is not a faster machine, only a bigger and stronger one.
It weighs 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) and occupies 2,880 × 1,675 × 1,780 mm (113 × 65.9 × 70.1 in). Where 500 mm is too short, the M10JL10 keeps the same spindle and turret figures and turns 1,000 mm (39.4 in).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 12 turret stations, against 8 on the M08JL5L-II and M08J-II
- 15/18.5 kW spindle, against 9/11 kW on the M08JL5L-II and M08J-II
- Lighter than the M10D at 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) against 5,000 kg (11,023 lb), with the same listed envelope
Limitations
- 4,000 rpm maximum (rated 3,500 rpm) gives no speed gain over the smaller M08 J models
- The table states no bar capacity, while the M08JL5L-II lists 65 mm (2.56 in)
