OverviewTurnado 230/1000 is a conventional universal lathe designed for flexible turning, drilling and threading operations. It combines a one-piece cast-iron bed, a 3‑axis position indicator and a wide spindle bore to accommodate shafts and tubes. The machine is supplied with an extensive standard equipment package to cover common workshop requirements.
Highlights- Universal lathe configuration with 230 mm centre height and 1,000 mm between centres
- One-piece cast-iron bed with prismatic guideways, hardened and ground
- 3-axis position indicator for incremental and absolute measurements
- Large spindle bore (58 mm) and Camlock D1-6 spindle mount
- Motor rating 5.5 kW; wide spindle speed range (25–2,000 1/min)
Machine bed- Heavy ribbed one-piece bed and massive cast-iron stand provide a stable base for precision machining
- Removable gap bridge allows machining of short workpieces with large diameters
- Prismatic guideways are hardened and ground to maintain long-term positional accuracy
Headstock / feed gear- Multi-step gearbox and 5.5 kW main motor deliver the required torque across a broad speed range
- Gears and shafts are hardened and ground, operating in an enclosed oil bath
- Large spindle bore and robust spindle support ensure reliable clamping and stability under radial/axial loads
- Standard equipment includes 3-jaw chuck (with reversible hardened jaws), 4-jaw independent chuck and large faceplate
- Feed gearbox provides numerous thread pitches for metric and Whitworth threads
