Conventional Universal Lathe Set CORMAK TORNADO 460x1500 with Turning Tools and Live Centre

Conventional Universal Lathe CORMAK TORNADO 460x1500 – precision metal machining for industrial applications

CORMAK TORNADO 460x1500 is a universal conventional lathe with a heavy-duty construction designed for a wide range of precise metalworking operations. With a long distance between centres – 1500 mm – and a large 82mm spindle bore, this lathe is ideal for machining long shafts, pipes, and large-diameter components. It is a reliable solution for industrial plants, toolrooms, maintenance workshops, and technical schools.

Main advantages

• Versatile use: internal and external turning, taper turning, metric, inch, module, and D.P. threading, drilling, broaching, and polishing.
• Reinforced bed design: 300mm-wide cast-iron frame – hardened and ground – ensures vibration reduction and operational stability.
• Precision 2-axis digital readout (X and Z) with optical scales as standard.
• Large 82mm spindle bore on precision bearings with D1-8 mount.
• Joystick-controlled rapid feed – reduces machining time significantly.
• Hardened and ground spindle gears – extended service life of the drive system.
• Thread cutting without gear replacement: metric (0.1–14 mm), inch (2–112 TPI), module, and D.P.
• Removable bed gap – enables machining of parts up to 690 mm in diameter.
• Thread dial indicator – simplifies carriage reset during threading.
• Ergonomic control panel – convenient regulation of speeds and feeds.

Construction and technology

This lathe has been engineered for long-term, intensive use. The 2,445 kg machine is built on a heavy, monolithic cast-iron bed ensuring rigidity and resistance to deformation. Precision-ground guideways, accurate carriage components, and the reliable 5.5kW spindle drive guarantee consistent accuracy during prolonged operation on large workpieces. Integrated work lighting and cooling system enhance operator comfort.

Precision and performance

Thanks to its digital readout and precisely calibrated guideways, the operator maintains full control over the turning process. The wide spindle speed range (25–2000 rpm) allows optimal cutting parameters for various materials. The 1500 mm turning length offers complete flexibility for industrial and repair machining.
