Powered by PathPilot®: RapidTurn™ runs on PathPilot®, Tormach’s approachable yet professional-level CNC machine control system. The RapidTurn utilizes PathPilot’s lathe interface, which is easy-to-use, easy-to-operate, and designed for CNC machinists of all experience levels.

Space-Saving Utility: RapidTurn™ provides real CNC lathe functionality without taking up precious shop floor-space. After initial installation, set-up takes just a few minutes and RapidTurn™ is just as easily stored out of the way when not in use.

Turning and Milling in One Setup: RapidTurn™ has a manual index plate with a locking pin. Parts can be securely positioned in 15° 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.

RapidTurn™ has a complete suite of accessories available to tackle almost any small turning job: quick change toolholders, adjustable tailstock, tooling, 3-jaw chuck, and more. For additional information, visit: torma.ch/z.
