Tormach Inc. (Waunakee, WI) has announced the release of RapidTurnTM, an innovative 5C CNC chucker lathe attachment designed for use with their PCNC 1100 or PCNC 770 mills. The lathe attachment is powered by PathPilot®, the approachable yet professional-level CNC machine control system which is easy-to-use, easy-to-operate, and designed for CNC machinists of all experience levels. This space-saving utility provides real CNC lathe functionality without taking up precious shop floor space. After initial installation, set-up takes just a few minutes and is just as easily stored out of the way when not in use.
Turning and milling is accomplished in one setup using a manual index plate with a locking pin. Parts can be securely positioned in 15 deg increments for secondary work with the PCNC’s primary spindle, making it ideal for cutting wrench flats or drilling cross holes on turned parts without additional setups.
