Cut Cycle Times, Not Floor Space: The GT-30 Mini Gang Tool Lathe
- Lightning-Fast Cycle Times: True gang-tooling eliminates turret indexing delays. High-speed X/Z-axis motion at 1,180 IPM ensures zero-second tool changes and maximum hourly part yield.
- Massive Output, Micro Footprint: Deploy a high-performance 6,000 RPM / 5 HP spindle in a compact 52" x 44" envelope—reclaiming your shop floor without sacrificing turning capacity.
- Uncompromising Precision: A 1,500 lb Meehanite cast base provides the thermal stability and damping required for 24/7 operations on exotic materials with $\pm$0.0001" tolerances.

The 5-Axis Advantage on the GT-30 Mini
Machine complex geometries in a single setup. Simultaneous 5-axis operation allows the cutting tool to approach the workpiece from virtually any angle, unlocking entirely new capabilities and profit centers for your shop floor.
Unlock Maximum Production Efficiency
- Infinite Complexity: Produce intricate parts, deep undercuts, and complex contours that traditional lathes simply can't touch.
- "Done-in-One" Setups: Eliminate secondary handling and costly multi-fixture workflows to drastically reduce stack-up errors.
- Flawless Finishes: Continuous, simultaneous tool motion prevents dwell lines and guarantees superior surface quality.
- Accelerated Cycle Times: Consolidate multiple operations into one fluid cycle to slash total machining time and speed up prototyping.

What makes the GT-30 Mini truly unique is how it solves one of our customers' biggest challenges: the high cost of manufacturing floor space. With an ultra-compact footprint of just 52” x 44”, you can pack significantly more machines into your facility. This allows you to drastically increase your production capacity and revenue without needing to expand your building.
It delivers uncompromising precision. The GT-30 Mini is built with premium motion control components, including high-accuracy ball screws and linear rails manufactured in Japan. Because of this top-tier hardware, the machine is incredibly rigid and consistently repeats to one ten-thousandth of an inch (0.0001").
The GT-30 Mini is designed from the ground up to produce high-volume, high-accuracy parts. To maximize that output, it is the ideal platform for automation. We highly recommend pairing it with our hydrodynamic bar-feeding applications or our custom vibratory-bowl systems to achieve continuous, hands-free production.
These machines demonstrate exceptional, shop-proven reliability. Whether you are looking at the heavy-duty mechanical build or the advanced CNC electronic components, the GT-30 Mini is engineered to run demanding production cycles day in and day out without issue.
Yes, we maintain a comprehensive inventory of spare parts locally to fully support our customers. However, because the engineering and component quality of the GT-30 Mini are so high, the need for actual component replacements is very rare.
We are constantly working to keep these popular machines available and ready for our customers. Currently, due to high demand, our lead time for the GT-30 Mini is about 30 days.
