HIGHER PERFORMANCE WITH A BRAND YOU TRUST
Epoxy Granite Frame (made in the USA): Epoxy granite frames have 10x the damping of cast iron, resulting in better surface finishes and 30% longer tool life.
4HP, 10K RPM Spindle (Max 6HP): Power at the right RPM range to leverage modern, highly efficient, high speed tool paths.
1200 IPM X/Y & 600 IPM Z: Rapid and cut at up to 1200 IPM keeps up with advanced, constant-engagement tool paths.
Thru-Spindle Coolant Ready: Every 1500MX comes ready for TSC if you choose to add it later. TSC is 7x faster for drilling holes, results in smoother finishes, helps make more consistent parts, and extends tool life.
Servo Motors with Absolute Encoders: 23 bit absolute position encoders with battery backup. The 1500MX’s servos mean you never have to reference the machine, even between power cycles.

Machining Industry Reacts to the Tormach 1500MX CNC Mill
"The 1500MX offers a host of features designed to enhance machining efficiency
and precision. Crafted with an epoxy granite frame made in the U.S., this machine
reportedly enables 10 times the damping of cast iron, providing chatter-free
cuts, superior surface finishes and 30% longer tool life."
"Tormach, a US-based manufacturer of CNC machines and industrial robotics, introduces its latest innovation: the Tormach 1500MX CNC Mill. Representing the apex of Tormach’s engineering prowess, the 1500MX marks a significant leap forward in power, precision, and affordability within their CNC machining portfolio”
"The 1500MX comes with a Made in the USA Epoxy Granite frame. This is a major departure from the earlier machines which were all cast iron, but it's a departure for the better. Epoxy Granite has 10X the damping of cast iron. It’s a quality that makes it the ideal choice on many high-end machines such as Datron’s machines."
"The Tormach 1500MX has been a game-changer for DarkAero as the new machine’s capabilities have drastically improved workflow, especially in terms of production readiness and precision."
