Our best estimate for the Tsugami BW129Z-II is $290,000 - $420,000. This is an estimate for a swiss-type lathes in this class, not a quote from Tsugami; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially.

Decide by the axial work on the third tool group. The BW129Z-I gives 60 mm (2.36 in) of Z3 stroke, enough for drilling along the axis. The BW129Z-II gives 5 mm (0.20 in), enough to position a tool and take a shallow cut. Nothing else in the two tables differs.
A Z3 axis with 5 mm (0.20 in) of stroke, moving at 12 m/min. Both have the Y2 axis at 15 m/min, 28 tools as standard and a weight of 2,900 kg (6,393 lb), so the choice comes down to whether the third group needs any Z motion.
X1, Y1, Z1, X2, Y2, Z2, X3, Y3 and Z3. The rapid traverse row gives 32 m/min for Z1, X2 and Z2, 24 m/min for Y1 and Y3, 15 m/min for Y2 and 12 m/min for X1, X3 and Z3.
Main spindle: 12,000 rpm maximum, 10,000 rpm rated, 1.5/2.2 kW. Back spindle: 12,000 rpm maximum, 8,000 rpm rated, 1.5/2.2 kW. With equal power front and back, the cut-off end can be machined about as hard as the front.
