Conventional Universal Lathe CORMAK TORNADO 400x1000 – precision, power, and reliability in metalworking

The CORMAK TORNADO 400x1000 universal lathe is a modern and proven solution for locksmith workshops, toolrooms, and industrial facilities specialising in precision metal machining. Its solid design, high-quality components, and rich standard equipment make it ready for intensive operation, including multi-shift production.

Main advantages

• Reinforced bed with ribbing, hardened and ground, ensuring stability and vibration reduction.
• Precision two-axis digital readout (cross and longitudinal) – full control of tool positioning.
• Spindle with 52 mm bore and high-quality bearings – smooth operation even under heavy loads.
• Hardened gears in the spindle transmission – durability and quiet performance.
• Removable bed bridge – enables machining of components up to 520 mm in diameter.
• Wide 218 mm bed – ensures rigidity and precision even when machining large workpieces.
• Wide range of thread cutting without the need to replace gears (metric, inch, module, D.P.).
• Ergonomic control panel – convenient and intuitive operation of feeds and speeds.
• Adjustable overload clutch – protects the feed shaft drive against overloads.
• Cooling system and work light included as standard – improve comfort and efficiency.

Construction and technology

The conventional lathe CORMAK TORNADO 400x1000 is designed for long service life and high precision. The reinforced, hardened, and widened bed ensures exceptional structural rigidity. The spindle with D5 CAMLOCK nose and MT6 taper guarantees stable workpiece clamping, while the 52 mm bore allows for machining of larger bars. The spindle gearbox operates quietly due to hardened and ground gears.

Precision and performance

The machine offers 18 spindle speed ranges (from 65 to 1810 rpm), allowing optimal cutting parameters. A wide range of longitudinal and cross feeds and automatic right- and left-hand threading significantly shortens machining time and increases accuracy. The integrated thread dial indicator supports repeatable threading operations with precise cycle control.
