If you’re not familiar with the awesome, multitasking capability of the Tsugami BW209Z Split Side Lathe, then you’re missing out. MTDCNCs’ Tony Gunn talks with Frank Maiocco of Tsugami America about this CNC workhorse. Front gang, rear gang, and sub-spindle all working both independently and simultaneously. With this machine, you can pinch turn, pinch mill, and do back operations at the same time. With the oscillating cutting technique reducing chips operators no longer need to program in machine stops to pull out large stringy chips, improving efficiency and cycle time. Contact MTDCNC or Tsugami America today to get your hands on one of these machines.
