Tormach Introduces Duality Lathe for CNC
 WAUNAKEE,
WI, July 14, 2008 - Tormach LLC, innovators of CNC technology, announced
today the introduction of the Duality Lathe. The patented lathe design, in
combination with Tormach's CNC mill, provides CNC lathe functionality for
less than $1150.

The Duality Lathe is an entirely new concept in CNC mill accessories.
With this integrated space saving lathe a part can be both CNC turned and
milled in a single setup. When mounted on a PCNC 1100 mill this accessory
can be used to not only turn your parts but also do milling operations such
as flats, cross drilling, slotting and contouring. When mounted on your
bench top the Duality Lathe is used in manual mode eliminating the need for
a separate manual lathe.
Mounted to the table of Tormach's PCNC 1100 mill, the Duality Lathe
becomes a CNC lathe. Mounting the lathe is as simple as mounting a machine
vise. Two cables, a power cable and a signal cable, provide integration of
the mill and lathe control systems. The combined system offers CNC turning,
cut-off, boring, drilling, and threading. The Duality lathe includes a quick
change tool system, dedicated lathe control software, and an extensive
operating manual. Programming wizards allow complicated parts to be created
without CAM software. The Duality Lathe also includes spindle clamp and
index wheel, allowing milling operations to be performed on parts while they
are still mounted in the lathe chuck.
"With this invention we are enabling our customers to leverage their
investment in a CNC mill by providing CNC lathe capacities for a fraction of
what it would normally cost." says Tormach CEO Greg Jackson. "The Duality
Lathe is the perfect solution for entrepreneurs, researchers, inventors and
educators, where shops have limited budgets and only occasional need for a
CNC lathe."
