Key Features
188 mm hardened and precision-ground bed provides outstanding rigidity and minimizes vibration during machining.
2-axis Digital Readout (DRO) enables precise positioning of the carriage along the X and Z axes.
52 mm spindle bore allows machining of larger-diameter shafts and bar stock.
D1-5 Camlock spindle nose ensures secure, accurate, and quick chuck mounting.
2.0 kW main motor provides ample power for machining structural steels and alloy materials.
Comprehensive gearbox supports 26 metric thread ranges, 34 imperial thread ranges, and both right-hand and left-hand threading.
Removable gap bed increases the maximum turning diameter to 490 mm.
Extensive standard equipment, including a 2-axis DRO, 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks, faceplate, and additional change gears.
Construction and Technology

The CORMAK TORNADO 360 × 1000 PLUS features a heavy-duty cast iron bed that is induction-hardened and precision-ground for maximum rigidity, durability, and machining accuracy. The removable gap bed enables machining of larger-diameter workpieces when required.

The tool post accepts cutting tools up to 20 × 20 mm, allowing the use of a wide variety of professional tooling.

The drivetrain incorporates hardened and precision-ground gears, ensuring smooth power transmission, quiet operation, and extended service life. The spindle is supported by high-performance precision bearings, providing excellent rotational accuracy and stability under load.

Precision and Productivity
2-axis Digital Readout (DRO) provides fast and accurate monitoring of tool position relative to the workpiece.
Thread cutting without changing change gears significantly reduces setup time and improves workflow efficiency.
Integrated thread chasing dial enables precise synchronization during thread cutting.
Adjustable overload clutch protects the gearbox and feed mechanisms against damage caused by excessive loads.
