How much does the Tsugami SS267-III-5AX 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 SS267-III-5AX is the five-axis variant of Tsugami's 26 mm (1.02 in) SS267-III Swiss-type lathe. Its published figures are a 38-tool standard layout, 3.7/5.5 kW on both spindles, and 10,000 rpm maximum spindle speed (rated 7,000 rpm) on main and sub.
Tsugami's table gives this model exactly the same rows as the plain SS267-III, down to the 4,000 kg (8,818 lb) weight and the 2,630 × 1,270 × 2,010 mm (104 × 50.0 × 79.1 in) footprint. Nothing in it describes the five-axis unit itself: no tilt range, no driven-tool speed, no control. A buyer choosing between the two therefore has to get those details from Tsugami, because the published data alone does not show what the 5AX adds or whether it costs any tool positions.
The neighbouring five-axis models show what to ask about. The SS327-III-5AX lists its B-axis tools at 7,000 rpm and its other driven tools at 6,000 rpm, with a 31i-B5 control. The 20 mm SS207-II-5AX runs seven axes on the same control and gives up two standard tools against its plain sibling, 37 against 39. Expect to confirm the equivalent figures for this machine.
What the table does settle is the size class. At 26 mm with 3.7/5.5 kW on both spindles and rapids of 35 m/min (Z1, X2, Z2) and 24 m/min (X1, Y1, Y2), it is a machine for larger angled-feature parts than the 20 mm SS207-II-5AX can take.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 26 mm (1.02 in) machining diameter in a five-axis variant
- Main and sub spindles both rated 3.7/5.5 kW, with 10,000 rpm maximum (rated 7,000 rpm)
- 38 tools as standard on a 26 mm five-axis machine
- 35 m/min rapid on Z1, X2 and Z2
Limitations
- Tsugami's table gives no data on the five-axis unit, its tool speed or the control
- The published figures are identical to the plain SS267-III, so the 5AX difference must be confirmed directly
- X1, Y1 and Y2 rapid at 24 m/min
- Weighs 4,000 kg (8,818 lb) and needs 2,630 mm (104 in) of floor length

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The five-axis capability its name describes. Tsugami's published table, however, lists the same figures for both: 26 mm (1.02 in), 38 standard tools, 3.7/5.5 kW spindles at 10,000 rpm (rated 7,000 rpm) and 4,000 kg (8,818 lb). Ask Tsugami for the five-axis unit's range, driven-tool speed and control before comparing.
02
The SS207-II-5AX is the 20 mm (0.79 in) five-axis model, listed with seven axes, 37 standard tool stations, a 31i-B5 control and 3,745 kg (8,267 lb). The SS267-III-5AX takes 26 mm (1.02 in) bar with 3.7/5.5 kW spindles and 38 standard tools, at 4,000 kg (8,818 lb).
03
Tsugami lists 35 m/min for Z1, X2 and Z2 and 24 m/min for X1, Y1 and Y2. Those are the same rates as the SS267-III and SS207-II, so cycle-time differences between them come from the cutting, not the positioning.
