  • With a new apron design, rapid feed and a modern ergonomic machine frame, the Turnado Lathe PRO series continues its success story
  • A heavily ribbed machine bed, rigid headstock and a massive one-piece cast-iron stand form a solid machine base
  • Removable bridge allows machining of short workpieces with large diameters
  • Back-gearing and an advanced electronic control technology of the powerful main spindle drive ensure high torque and a wide range of speeds
  • High-precision pre-loaded spindle bearings ensure superior concentricity and load capacity
  • All guides are adjustable
  • Gears, transmission shafts, and guideways are hardened and ground to guarantee quiet operation and long tool life
  • The apron runs in an oil bath for low maintenance and high reliability
  • A central lubrication system inside the support supplies all guideways with lubrication and simplifies maintenance
  • Micrometer bed stop ensures high repeatability on the Z-axis
  • The tailstock can be adjusted sideways for taper turning
  • The extensive features of the X.Pos Position Indicator are complemented here with a digital speed indicator and an easy to program auxiliary function
  • Constant cutting speed: During face turning, the spindle speed automatically adapts to the changing workpiece diameter – the constant cutting speed at the cutting edge of the turning tool ensures superior turning results with quality comparable to CNC lathes
