How much does the Victor Taichung Vturn-V1000 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Victor Taichung Vturn-V1000 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Victor Taichung Vturn-V1000 is the largest lathe the maker lists by diameter: Ø1,000 mm (Ø39.37 in) of maximum turning diameter on a 24 in chuck, with an A2-15 spindle nose and a top speed of 1,500 rpm. It is a vertical turning lathe weighing 16,000 kg (35,273.91 lb).
Victor Taichung describes a 45kw (60HP) spindle motor coupled to a 2-step gearbox, giving high torque at low rpm, and a swing diameter of 1100mm (43.3 in). The spindle nose and the motor are both well beyond those of the Vturn-V760 below it, so this is not the smaller machine with a taller column but a heavier build throughout.
The turret holds 12 tools on a BMT-85 interface in both columns. That is a large, rigid tool mount, and it is the only interface listed; the VDI turret offered on the smaller V models is marked as not available here. Standard turning diameter is 885 mm (34.84 in) for the 2 Axis machine and 756 mm (29.76 in) with the C axis, and turning length is 850 mm (33.46 in) or 825 mm (32.48 in).
On a vertical lathe of this size the swarf falls away from the cut by itself, which the maker counts as an immediate benefit for heavy cutting. Chucks up to 40 in are on the option list, each with a lower speed limit.

Victor Taichung describes a 45kw (60HP) spindle motor coupled to a 2-step gearbox for high torque at low rpm. The table gives a maximum speed of 1,500 rpm and an A2-15 nose with a 24 in chuck.
03
BMT-85, with 12 tools, in both the 2 Axis and C Axis columns. The VDI turret on the V series option list is marked as not offered for this model.
04
A 24 in chuck is standard. The option list names bigger chucks with reduced speeds, for example a 28 in chuck at 1200rpm, a 32 in chuck at 1100rpm, a 36 in chuck at 1000rpm and a 40 in chuck at 800rpm.
