Conventional Universal Lathe CORMAK TORNADO 360x1000 VARIO

The CORMAK TORNADO 360x1000 VARIO universal lathe is a professional conventional lathe designed for precision metalworking in production facilities, toolrooms and maintenance workshops. Its robust construction, large 1,000mm distance between centres, powerful 2.4kW drive and spindle with a Camlock D1-5 mounting ensure high rigidity, stability and repeatability, even during demanding cutting operations.

The TORNADO 360x1000 VARIO has been designed for users who expect reliability, precision and extensive machining 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, individual parts and small production batches.

Key advantages of the CORMAK TORNADO 360x1000 VARIO universal lathe

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

• 1,000mm distance between centres enables long components to be turned, increasing the capacity for machining shafts, sleeves and other long workpieces
• Hardened and ground bed with a width of 205mm provides high wear resistance and effectively absorbs vibration.
• 52mm spindle bore allows larger-diameter materials to be machined without prior preparation.
• Camlock D1-5 spindle mounting ensures fast, secure and rigid chuck installation.
• 2.4kW motor provides high torque at low speeds and stable operation under load.
• Variable spindle speed control (VARIO) from 75–2,000rpm allows the parameters to be matched to the material and operation.
• Metric and imperial thread cutting increases application versatility.
• Compatibility with 16 × 16mm tools allows professional lathe tools to be used.

Robust construction for high machining accuracy

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

The spindle is mounted on precision bearings and fitted with a Camlock D1-5 spindle nose, ensuring rapid 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 to provide stable operating parameters during both roughing and finishing operations. The comprehensive thread and feed gearbox allows suitable settings to be selected quickly without complex configuration.

Precision and efficiency in everyday operation

The CORMAK TORNADO 360x1000 VARIO conventional lathe supports a wide range of machining operations, including external and internal turning, facing, drilling, reaming, thread cutting and taper turning. Its stable construction and precise carriage guidance ensure high dimensional repeatability and an excellent surface finish on machined components.

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