FAQ
KT-250 Questions
Answers to common questions about the KT-250.
Stocked configurations ship in 2-4 weeks; a build-to-order unit with options typically runs 8-10 weeks, confirmed at quote stage.
Yes, the KT-250 has a factory-fitted bar feeder interface option so you can run unattended bar-fed production once you're ready to add a feeder.
The machine ships with a standard turning tool holder starter set; we quote a full tooling package matched to your first parts during the sales process.
Yes, on-site training on the Kaizora Nexa 5T control and turret setup is included with every KT-250, with follow-up classes available at our Vaughan Tech Centre.

mill-turn multitasking centre
KM-2600
The KM-2600 is Kaizora's mill-turn flagship — a true multitasking centre that combines a 30 kW main turning spindle, a synchronized 22 kW sub-spindle, and a 12,000 rpm B-axis milling spindle in one machine. Parts that used to travel between a lathe, a mill and back to a lathe again finish in one setup, with the sub-spindle picking off the part for back-working while the main spindle starts the next piece. Tollaston recommends the KM-2600 for shops running complex shafts, valve bodies or housings where setup time and work-in-process, not raw cycle time, are the real cost. It's a bigger investment and a bigger learning curve than a live-tool lathe, which is why our applications engineers build your complete process plan and prove it out in the Vaughan Tech Centre before your team ever touches the machine.
CNC turning centre with live tooling and Y-axis
KT-400Y
The KT-400Y adds a Y-axis and 12 live-tool stations to Kaizora's turning platform, so parts that used to move to a mill for cross-holes, flats or off-center features finish complete on the lathe. A 250 mm hydraulic chuck, 65 mm bar capacity and driven tooling to 6,000 rpm cover most complex turned-part work without a second machine or a second setup. This is the turning centre Tollaston recommends most often once a shop's parts start needing more than a straight OD/ID and a chamfer — the Y-axis in particular opens up off-center milling and drilling that a standard turret geometry can't reach cleanly. It shares the Kaizora Nexa 5T control with the rest of the line, so programming carries over from a simpler lathe.
