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

Conventional Universal Lathe CORMAK TORNADO 460x1500 – industrial-class precision metal machining

CORMAK TORNADO 460x1500 is a universal conventional lathe with a heavy-duty design, intended for a wide range of precision metalworking tasks. With a large distance between centres of 1500 mm and a spindle bore of ø82 mm, this lathe is ideal for machining long shafts, pipes, and oversized components. It is a reliable solution for industrial facilities, toolrooms, maintenance departments, and technical schools.

Main advantages

• Versatile operation: internal and external turning, taper turning, metric, inch, module, and D.P. threading, drilling, broaching, and polishing.
• Reinforced bed structure: 300 mm-wide cast-iron frame, hardened and ground – ensures vibration reduction and operational stability.
• High-precision 2-axis digital readout (X and Z) with optical scales included as standard.
• Spindle with large 82 mm bore on precision bearings, D1-8 nose fitting.
• Rapid feed joystick control – significantly reduces machining time.
• Hardened and ground spindle transmission gears – extended durability of the mechanism.
• Thread cutting without gear change: metric (0.1–14 mm), inch (2–112 TPI), module, and D.P. threads.
• Removable bed gap – enables machining of components up to 690 mm in diameter.
• Thread dial indicator – simplifies repositioning during thread cutting.
• Ergonomic control panel with convenient regulation of spindle speeds and feeds.

Construction and technology

The lathe has been designed for long-term, intensive use. The 2,445 kg machine is built on a heavy, monolithic cast-iron bed that ensures rigidity and resistance to deformation. Precision-ground guideways, accurately machined carriage components, and a reliable 5.5 kW spindle drive guarantee consistent accuracy even during prolonged operation with large workpieces. Integrated work lighting and a coolant system enhance operator comfort.

Precision and performance

With its digital readout system and precisely aligned guideways, the operator maintains full control over the machining process. The wide spindle speed range (25–2000 rpm) allows optimal cutting parameters for various materials. The 1500 mm turning length ensures maximum flexibility for both repair and production work.
