Conventional Universal Lathe CORMAK TORNADO 360x1250 VARIO

The CORMAK TORNADO 360x1250 VARIO universal lathe is a professional conventional lathe designed for precision metalworking in production facilities, toolrooms and maintenance workshops. Its robust construction, large 1,250mm distance between centres, powerful 2.4kW drive and spindle with a Camlock D1-5 mount ensure high rigidity, stability and repeatability, even during demanding cutting operations.

The TORNADO 360x1250 VARIO model has been designed for users who expect reliability, precision and extensive technological capabilities. Thanks to its large spindle bore, comprehensive feed and thread gearbox and hardened bed, the machine is ideally suited to turning shafts, sleeves, axles, machine components and individual or small-batch parts.

Key advantages of the CORMAK TORNADO 360x1250 VARIO universal lathe

The CORMAK metal lathe has been designed for many years of operation in demanding industrial conditions. Every machine component contributes to achieving maximum machining accuracy, high system rigidity and comfortable operator use.

• 1,250mm distance between centres enables turning between the chuck and centre up to 1,000mm
• Hardened and ground 205mm-wide bed provides high wear resistance and effectively dampens vibrations.
• 52mm spindle bore enables materials with larger diameters to be machined without prior preparation.
• Camlock D1-5 spindle mount ensures quick, secure and rigid chuck mounting.
• 2.4kW motor provides high torque at low speeds and stable operation under load.
• Infinitely variable spindle speed control (VARIO) 70–2,000rpm enables the parameters to be adapted to the material and operation being performed.
• Metric and imperial thread cutting increases the machine’s versatility.
• Compatibility with 16 × 16mm tools enables the use of professional lathe tools.

Robust construction ensuring high machining accuracy

The lathe is built around a heavy cast-iron body, whose appropriate mass and wide guideways effectively reduce vibrations generated during machining. The hardened and precision-ground guideways retain their geometry even during intensive use, which directly improves the quality of the finished workpieces.

The spindle is mounted on precision bearings and equipped with a Camlock D1-5 nose, ensuring quick chuck installation and high mounting rigidity. The 52mm spindle bore enables materials with larger cross-sections to be machined, extending the machine’s range of applications.

The 2.4kW motor works with a durable drive system, ensuring stable operating parameters during both roughing and finishing. The comprehensive thread and feed gearbox allows the appropriate settings to be selected quickly without complicated configuration.

Precision and efficiency in everyday operation

The CORMAK TORNADO 360x1250 VARIO conventional lathe enables a wide range of technological operations, including external and internal turning, facing, drilling, reaming, thread cutting and taper machining. Its stable construction and precise carriage guidance ensure high dimensional repeatability and excellent surface quality of machined workpieces.

Thanks to the wide range of feeds and spindle speeds, the operator can easily select suitable parameters for machining structural steel, alloy steels, cast iron, aluminium, brass and many other materials.
