5-Axis Turning & Milling Capability — The GT-15 Mill-Turn Center

Machine complex geometries in a single setup. Simultaneous 5-axis operation allows the cutting tool to approach the workpiece from virtually any angle — unlocking highly profitable new part families for your shop. The GT-15 is not just a gang tool lathe; it's a fully capable 5-axis turning center and C-axis mill-turn lathe designed for complete part machining in one chucking.

  • Infinite Complexity: Produce intricate parts, deep undercuts, and complex contours that traditional CNC lathes simply can't touch. With full C-axis interpolation and radial live tools, your gang tool turning center becomes a mill-turn turning center capable of milling, drilling, tapping, and cross-work — all in one chucking.
  • "Done-in-One" Setup: Eliminate secondary handling and costly multi-fixture workflows to drastically reduce setup errors. This is the core advantage of a multi-tasking lathe — parts come off complete.
  • Superior Surface Finish: Continuous, simultaneous tool motion prevents dwell lines and guarantees superior surface quality — critical for medical, aerospace, and defense components machined on high precision turning centers.
  • Accelerated Cycle Times: Consolidate multiple operations into one fluid cycle to slash total machining time and speed up prototyping. Whether you need a second-operation lathe or a primary production machine, the GT-15 delivers.

Capacity, power, and versatility. The GT-15 is an industrial 45° slant-bed machine with a 400 mm max turning diameter, a 61 mm spindle bore, and a 10 HP (optional 15 HP) servo-driven spindle. Its 97 mm center height table and 17.75" X-axis travel leave room to mount turrets, Y-axis modules, and combinations of live tools — making it the right choice for job shops running larger, complex, multi-operation parts.

The GT-15 occupies a 68" × 35" floor space, with overall sheet metal dimensions of 87.4" long × 56.6" wide and a machine height of 63". At 4,500 lbs it delivers industrial slant-bed capacity in a footprint that still fits cell-based production layouts — maximizing your shop's revenue per square foot.

Yes. The 97 mm center height table and 17.75" X-axis travel make it fully compatible with axial and radial live tools, Y-axis modules, and 8- or 10-station hydraulic turret options, using heavy-duty 3/4" Swiss-quality tool holders. Combined with C-axis indexing and interpolation, the GT-15 becomes a complete mill-turn center capable of producing complex parts done-in-one — a cost-effective route into Swiss live-tool and servo-drive live-tool work.

Absolutely. The GT-15 runs a 10 HP servo-driven spindle — upgradeable to 15 HP — delivering high torque at low RPM right down to 15 RPM. That cutting power, combined with a 3,300 lb one-piece 45° slant casting and 32 mm C3 ground ball screws, powers through difficult alloys like stainless steel and Inconel while holding ±0.0001" repeatability.

The GT-15 ships with your choice of Fanuc or GSK controls, and we supply custom post-processors for Fusion 360 CAM software with both. 5-axis GT-15 configurations use GSK CNC controls to perform indexing and interpolation through the integrated C-axis. The GSK control is highly intuitive — it uses essentially the exact same industry-standard G-code programming commands as Fanuc. Machinists transition to it effortlessly, and our customers frequently praise its built-in conversational editing features for being exceptionally user-friendly right at the machine. Fanuc controls are also available for shops that prefer them.

Sub-spindle and dual-spindle configurations are available across the CNC New lineup. Contact us to discuss the right configuration for your production requirements and part complexity.

We absolutely provide comprehensive customer training. However, because the GSK control is so intuitive, customers with prior CNC programming experience often find they can hit the ground running on day one with just our programming manual and a quick onboarding call with our local SoCal support team. We tailor the support to exactly what your shop needs to succeed.

Absolutely. The GT-15's open architecture is purpose-built for 24/7 lights-out production. It integrates seamlessly with robotic arm loading systems, vibratory bowl feeders, gravity feed & track loaders, and bar feeders — creating a fully automated turning cell with minimal operator intervention.

A gang tool lathe mounts all cutting tools on a linear gang plate simultaneously — the axes simply slide to the next tool, eliminating turret indexing time entirely. A turret lathe rotates between tool stations, adding time per tool change. For high-volume, small-to-medium precision parts, gang tool turning centers deliver dramatically shorter cycle times and higher hourly part yields.

Iron-Clad Warranty & Lifetime Support

Your production doesn't stop, and neither do we. Every GT-15 is backed by our comprehensive warranty and supported directly from our Santa Ana, California headquarters — no overseas time zones, no outsourced call centers.

  • Extended Warranty Available: For added peace of mind, we offer custom extended warranties upon request. Contact our Santa Ana team for details.
  • OEM Control Warranties: Enjoy added coverage directly from our control partners Fanuc and GSK — global warranties backed by the manufacturers themselves.
  • Direct U.S.-Based Support: When you call CNC New, you speak directly to the engineers and technicians who build, integrate, and program these machines. No third parties, no delays.
  • Massive On-Site Parts Inventory: We maintain a large inventory of spare parts, precision ball screws, and electronics at our Southern California facility — ready for immediate dispatch.
  • Remote Diagnostics & Integration: Our technicians can troubleshoot, optimize cycle times, and resolve programming issues remotely to get you back to making chips fast.

The CNC New Commitment

"Purchasing a machine from an importer often means you are on your own after the sale. We have over 30 years of PLC development and CNC integration experience under one roof. We build them. We warrant them. We support them for life."

GT-15 Custom Options & Upgrades

Configure the GT-15 to fit your exact production workflow. From standalone precision machining to fully automated, lights-out manufacturing cells.
