Compact CNC Turning

A compact footprint makes the Turn 270 Pro particularly suited to classrooms, engineering workshops and training environments where space may be limited.

Beginner to Advanced Skills

Introduce students to CNC turning and allow them to progress into more advanced programming, tooling, setup and machining applications.

8-Station Turret

An 8-station programmable turret supplied as standard introduces students and trainees to automated tool selection and multi-operation CNC turning.

Compact CNC turning, with classroom-friendly design

The Denford Turn 270 Pro is a compact 2-axis CNC lathe designed for education and engineering training, providing an accessible introduction to CNC turning with the capability to develop more advanced machining skills.

Fully enclosed and space efficient, the Turn 270 Pro combines a 4,000 rpm spindle, 8-station programmable turret and 26mm spindle bore with CNC control and CAD/CAM software.

Suitable for machining materials ranging from wax, plastics and acrylic through to non-ferrous and ferrous metals, it provides a versatile CNC turning solution for schools, colleges and engineering training environments.

FEATURES

From Beginner to Advanced CNC Turning

The Turn 270 Pro provides an accessible route into CNC turning without limiting students to basic machining exercises.

Students and trainees can begin by learning the fundamental principles of CNC turning before progressing into areas including:

CNC programming
CAD/CAM
Machine setup
Tool selection
Workholding
Speeds and feeds
Turning operations
Parting and grooving
Multi-tool machining
Component manufacture
Machining different materials

This makes the Turn 270 Pro suitable for organisations looking for a CNC lathe that can support learners as their skills and experience develop.

FEATURES

Machine Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals

Programmable spindle speeds and feed rates enable the Turn 270 Pro to machine a wide variety of materials.

Suitable materials include:

Wax
Plastics
Acrylic
Non-ferrous metals
Ferrous metals

This flexibility allows students to progress from introductory machining exercises using easily machined materials through to more advanced engineering projects involving metals.

For more demanding applications, optional Spray Mist Coolant can be factory fitted to support the machining process.
