Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Tsugami. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Tsugami TMA8H is a B-axis turn-mill center with an 8 in main chuck, a 6 in sub-spindle chuck and a 20,000 rpm (rated 15,000 rpm) tool spindle that swings from -15° to 195°. It turns up to 220 mm (8.66 in) in diameter, takes 65 mm (2.56 in) bar and holds 60 Capto C4 tools.
The B-axis range is the feature to judge it by. A swing of -15° to 195° lets the tool spindle face the main spindle, the sub-spindle and every angle between, so angled holes, compound faces and back-side features can be cut without a special holder. The axis is listed as positioning in 0.001° steps, which covers indexed angled work; ask Tsugami whether simultaneous B-axis contouring is offered if your parts need it.
Linear scales are standard on X, and the TMA8H-YZ version adds them on Y and Z as well. On a turn-mill, scale feedback on X holds diameters as the machine warms up over a long run. Buyers holding tight positions on milled features should price the YZ build.
Main and sub-spindle both run to 5,000 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm). The main spindle is rated 11/15 kW, the sub-spindle and tool spindle 5.5/11 kW each, so the heaviest turning belongs on the main side. Rapids are 30 m/min on X and A, 40 m/min on Z and 24 m/min on Y. The machine weighs 8,500 kg (18,739 lb) and measures 3,600 × 2,126 × 2,250 mm (142 × 83.7 × 88.6 in).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Tool spindle swings from -15° to 195° and positions in 0.001° steps
- Linear scales standard on X, and on X, Y and Z in the TMA8H-YZ version
- 20,000 rpm (rated 15,000 rpm) tool spindle for small-tool milling
- Sub-spindle matches the main spindle at 5,000 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm)
- 60-tool magazine using Capto C4 shanks
Limitations
- The sub-spindle chuck is 6 in, against 8 in on the main spindle, which limits second-operation diameters
- Sub-spindle rated 5.5/11 kW, against 11/15 kW on the main, so back-side roughing is lighter
- Turning diameter tops out at 220 mm (8.66 in)
- B axis is listed for positioning; simultaneous contouring is not stated

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It is the version of the TMA8H with linear scales on X, Y and Z. The standard TMA8H has a linear scale on X only. Scales on all three axes help hold milled feature positions as the machine warms up, so the YZ build suits parts with tight positional tolerances on milled features.
02
From -15° to 195°, positioned in 0.001° steps. That range covers work on the main spindle, on the sub-spindle and at any angle between, which removes the need for many fixed-angle holders on angled holes.
03
The main spindle is rated 11/15 kW and runs to 5,000 rpm (rated 4,000 rpm). The sub-spindle has the same speed and a 5.5/11 kW rating, and the tool spindle is also rated 5.5/11 kW, running to 20,000 rpm (rated 15,000 rpm).
04
Their listed figures match: 220 mm (8.66 in) turning diameter, 65 mm (2.56 in) bar, an 8 in chuck, 5,000 rpm, 60 tools, 11/15 kW and 8,500 kg (18,739 lb). The TMA8H table adds the linear scale row. Ask Tsugami what else separates the H and J builds for your parts.
