Universal metal lathe Knuth Turnado 230/1500 PRO

Universal metal lathe Knuth Turnado 230/1500 PRO

Country of origin: Germany, 24 months warranty period

The Turnado 230/1500 PRO Knuth universal metal lathe is designed for precise, efficient and reliable machining of metal workpieces in workshops, training centres and production environments. The design of the PRO series combines the stability of a classic lathe with more modern control and performance features. The electronically controlled main drive provides a wide range of spindle speeds, while the constant speed function automatically adjusts the speed according to the diameter of the workpiece, helping to achieve a more uniform surface quality. The solid solid cast base, high-speed feed, comfortable ergonomics and 3-axis digital position indication make it an efficient machine for both casual and precision turning applications.
