FAQ
KT-400Y Questions
Answers to common questions about the KT-400Y.
A standard turret only reaches features on the part's centerline; the ±60 mm Y-axis lets live tools mill flats, drill off-center holes and cut slots anywhere on the face without repositioning the part — features that otherwise need a separate milling operation.
The KT-400Y's base casting is sub-spindle-ready, but it's a factory-fitted option — retrofitting after delivery requires a service visit and is best planned at time of purchase if there's a chance you'll need it.
Typically 10-12 weeks build-to-order given the live-tool turret and Y-axis package; we confirm your exact date once the configuration is finalized.
Yes — our applications engineers develop and test your first live-tool program in the Vaughan Tech Centre, including turret synchronization, before the machine ships.

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.
2-axis CNC lathe
KT-250
The KT-250 is Kaizora's entry-level turning centre, built for toolrooms and job shops that need reliable 2-axis turning without the cost of a live-tool platform. A 200 mm hydraulic 3-jaw chuck, 51 mm bar capacity and a 12-station bolt-on turret cover the bulk of shaft, flange and bushing work most shops see day to day. Tollaston sets this machine up as the first lathe for shops moving off manual turning equipment, or as a second machine to take routine turning off a busier mill-turn platform. The Kaizora Nexa 5T control shares its interface with our VMC and HMC lines, so an operator already trained on a Kaizora mill picks up the lathe controls quickly.
