Lathes

Applications of industrial lathes

A milling machine is a tool used to machine materials by removing excess material using a rotating cutting tool known as a milling cutter. Milling machines are used in various industrial sectors and in craftwork due to their versatility and ability to machine a wide range of materials. A metal milling machine allows for virtually unlimited machining of materials such as steel, aluminium or copper. They can be used for milling or drilling workpieces, precision machine parts, tools and structural components.

Milling machines are also used in the production of furniture, joinery, decorative elements and other metal products. They can be used for milling holes, grooves and edges, drilling holes, boring and reaming, and for cutting shapes. Machines of this type are also an extremely important tool in the production of parts used in the aerospace industry. They are also used to machine metal alloys and composite materials, which are used in the construction of aircraft, rockets and spacecraft.

Milling machines are also useful in the automotive industry: for example, in the production of car parts such as cylinders, pistons, crankshafts and gearbox components. They can be used for milling metals, plastics and aluminium.

Types of lathes available in our shop

Cormak’s range includes a variety of metal lathes, tailored to different needs and technological requirements. We offer both machines for hobbyists and professional industrial equipment.

Universal and conventional lathes

Cormak universal lathes are robust, versatile machines designed for the precise machining of internal and external surfaces. They are ideal for turning, threading, drilling, polishing and broaching, making them practical equipment for both production workshops and maintenance departments. The range includes a wide selection of models differing in turning diameter – from compact lathes up to 360 mm, through mid-range machines of 400–500 mm, to large machines over 500 mm, designed for heavier-duty tasks.

The range includes both general-purpose and universal lathes, as well as more advanced models with greater rigidity and machining capabilities, allowing you to select a machine suited to the specific nature of the work and the type of materials being machined. All Cormak conventional lathes are characterised by a stable construction, precise guidance and ease of operation, ensuring reliability and repeatability in everyday use. This is a comprehensive range for users seeking durable, conventional lathes for a wide range of workshop tasks.

Turning and milling machines

Combining two machines in a single unit translates to ease of use and space-saving in the workshop. Turning and milling machines allow for both turning and milling operations, making them versatile tools in any workshop. They enable complex machining tasks to be carried out without the need to change workstations.

Pipe lathes

Pipe lathes are a specialised group of lathes designed for machining large-diameter and long workpieces, such as steel pipes, sleeves or structural tubes. These machines are characterised by a reinforced structure, an enlarged spindle bore and stable support for long workpieces, enabling precise turning even of very heavy components. They are used in industries requiring the machining of large-dimension pipes, including power hydraulics, the energy sector, the oil industry and steel structures. Thanks to their design, pipe lathes ensure accuracy, repeatability and safe operation when machining workpieces that exceed the capabilities of standard lathes.

Optional equipment

We also offer a wide range of optional equipment to enhance the functionality of our lathes. Our range includes attachments for grinding shafts and bores, attachments for turning cones, as well as turning tools, tool inserts, chucks, clamps, turning and drilling chucks, and quick-change turret heads. These and other accessories allow you to adapt the machine to specific production requirements, increasing its efficiency and precision.

How to choose the right lathe for your needs?

In day-to-day work in a workshop or a metalworking company, the quality and precision of parts begin with the right tool – a lathe that not only allows for the machining of shafts, sleeves or cones, but also influences the speed of order fulfilment and the repeatability of results. It is therefore worth paying attention not only to technical specifications, but also to upgradeability, servicing and access to consumable parts – these are aspects that often determine comfortable and trouble-free operation for years to come.
