TSUGAMI M08SD CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe represents a mid-range machining solution designed for versatile production environments. Equipped with a robust 10 hp spindle motor, the machine delivers substantial cutting power suitable for both finishing and heavy-duty roughing operations across a variety of materials. The maximum spindle speed of 4500 RPM provides flexibility for processing different workpiece diameters and material types, enabling operators to optimize cutting speeds for enhanced surface finish and tool life. The lathe accommodates workpieces up to 11 inches in turning diameter, making it well-suited for medium-scale components commonly found in automotive, aerospace, and general industrial manufacturing. This capacity range balances accessibility with capability, allowing shops to handle diverse job requirements without excessive floor space consumption. The CNC control system automates tool positioning and feed rates, improving repeatability and dimensional accuracy while reducing operator skill requirements. This automation facilitates faster cycle times and consistent part quality, essential for both prototype development and production runs. The machine's specifications suggest suitability for applications requiring tight tolerances and complex tool paths. The combination of adequate power, moderate spindle speed range, and CNC automation makes this lathe ideal for shops performing turning, boring, threading, and grooving operations. Its balanced performance envelope positions it as an efficient workhorse for small to medium-sized job shops and production facilities seeking reliable performance without premium pricing. Typical applications include shaft manufacturing, bushing production, and custom component machining where precision and repeatability are paramount.
