Tormach 15LX Lathe

The 15LX CNC Lathe builds on the proven 15L Slant-PRO® platform with greater speed, power, and precision. Featuring absolute encoder servos on every axis, including the turret, it delivers high-performance machining while remaining easy to operate.

Designed and manufactured by employee-owners in the USA and Mexico, the 15LX combines an EtherCAT-based control system, absolute encoder servos, and a 6 HP continuous (10 HP peak) spindle for demanding cuts. With rapid traverse speeds up to 360 IPM and closed-loop feedback on every axis, it delivers high-performance machining in a compact footprint for prototyping and small-batch production.

Compact Machine. Powerful Results.

Built on the trusted 15L Slant-PRO® platform, the 15LX combines 360 IPM rapid traverse speeds, an EtherCAT-based control system, and an integrated spindle motor encoder to support both prototyping and small-batch production.

Double the Spindle Power: 6 HP continuous, up to 10 HP peak, giving you torque for heavy cuts and demanding materials.

High-Speed Rapids: 360 IPM on X and Z.

EtherCAT Control Platform: precise motion and integrated feedback.

Absolute Encoder Servos on Every Axis: including the turret, for precise positioning, faster recovery, and improved reliability.

Compact, Capable Footprint: serious machining power in a machine that fits into more shops.
