How much does the Tsugami P013 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Tsugami. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Tsugami P013 is a micro-diameter automatic lathe with a maximum machining diameter of 1 mm (0.04 in), a spindle that runs to 25,000 rpm (rated 15,000 rpm) and 11 tools as standard. It is the smallest-diameter, single-spindle member of the P series.
Its speed is the reason it exists. At 1 mm the cutting edge needs very high spindle speed to reach any useful surface speed, and the P013 and P014 are the two models with a 25,000 rpm maximum; the P033 and P053 stop at 20,000 rpm. If a part never exceeds 1 mm in diameter, the P013 gives the most speed for it.
The P013 column of the table lists no back spindle, where the P014 adds a 25,000 rpm back spindle and takes 14 tools. Back-end features therefore need a second operation or the P014. The motor is 0.75/1.1 kW, rapid traverse 20 m/min, and the machine weighs 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) on a 1,770 × 820 × 1,600 mm (69.7 × 32.3 × 63.0 in) footprint.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 25,000 rpm (rated 15,000 rpm) spindle, against 20,000 rpm on the P033 and P053
- 11 tools as standard for a single-spindle micro lathe
- Narrow 820 mm (32.3 in) footprint at 1,000 kg (2,205 lb)
Limitations
- Machining diameter is limited to 1 mm (0.04 in); the P033 reaches 3 mm (0.12 in)
- No back spindle is listed for the P013, unlike the P014
- 0.75/1.1 kW motor permits only light cuts

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Both machine up to 1 mm (0.04 in) and run to 25,000 rpm. The P014 adds a back spindle of 25,000 rpm (rated 15,000 rpm) and 0.75/1.1 kW, and holds 14 tools against 11. The P014 weighs 1,050 kg (2,315 lb) against 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) for the P013.
02
It depends on part diameter. The P013 machines up to 1 mm (0.04 in) with a 25,000 rpm spindle. The P033 takes up to 3 mm (0.12 in) but stops at 20,000 rpm. Both have 11 tools, 0.75/1.1 kW and weigh 1,000 kg (2,205 lb).
