CORMAK TORNADO 360x1250 VARIO

CORMAK TORNADO 360×1250 VARIO Universal Lathe

The CORMAK TORNADO 360×1250 VARIO is a professional conventional lathe designed for precision metalworking in manufacturing facilities, toolrooms, and maintenance workshops. Its robust construction, 1,250 mm distance between centers, powerful 2.4 kW motor, and Camlock D1-5 spindle mounting provide outstanding rigidity, stability, and repeatable machining accuracy, even during demanding cutting operations.

Key Advantages of the CORMAK TORNADO 360×1250 VARIO Universal Lathe
1,250 mm distance between centers allows machining of workpieces up to 1,000 mm between the chuck and tailstock center, making it suitable for long shafts and cylindrical components.
Hardened and precision-ground 205 mm bed offers excellent wear resistance while effectively minimizing vibration.
52 mm spindle bore enables machining of larger-diameter stock without additional preparation.
Camlock D1-5 spindle nose provides quick, secure, and rigid chuck mounting.
2.4 kW motor delivers high torque at low spindle speeds and maintains reliable performance under load.
Variable spindle speed (VARIO) from 70–2,000 RPM allows precise adjustment to suit different materials and machining operations.
Supports both metric and imperial thread cutting, making the machine highly versatile.
Compatible with 16 × 16 mm cutting tools, allowing the use of professional turning tool holders.
Rigid Construction for Superior Machining Accuracy

The lathe features a heavy-duty cast iron frame designed to minimize vibration during machining. Its substantial weight and wide guideways provide excellent rigidity, while the hardened and precision-ground bed maintains its geometry even under intensive industrial use, ensuring consistently accurate machining and high-quality surface finishes.

The spindle is supported by precision bearings and equipped with a Camlock D1-5 spindle nose for rapid chuck changes and maximum rigidity. The 52 mm spindle bore allows larger-diameter materials to pass through the spindle, expanding the machine's machining capabilities.
