The TAKISAWA TAL-510/1500 is a precision engine lathe engineered for versatile machining operations on medium to large workpieces. This manual machine tool features a 20.08-inch swing capacity, enabling operators to work with substantial diameter components, while the 59.06-inch center distance accommodates extended workpiece lengths for comprehensive turning operations. Powered by a 7.46 horsepower motor, the lathe delivers robust cutting force suitable for sustained production work. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 1,500 RPM, this machine balances speed with torque to facilitate efficient material removal across various workpiece geometries and material types. The manual control system provides operators with direct mechanical engagement and precise control over feed rates and spindle operation, making it ideal for job shop environments and custom machining applications. The substantial swing and center distance combination positions this lathe as an excellent choice for fabricating shafts, cylinders, flanges, and similar cylindrical components requiring high accuracy. Its design emphasizes durability and reliability for continuous industrial use. The TAL-510/1500 represents a mid-range capacity platform suitable for shops requiring flexibility in workpiece size while maintaining repeatability and surface finish quality. This model integrates traditional manual lathe functionality with industrial-grade construction, making it valuable for facilities performing diverse turning operations from roughing cuts to precision finishing work.
