ACER DYNAMIC 1340G MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Acer Dynamic 1340G is a precision gap bed manual lathe engineered for versatile machining applications. This machine features a 13-inch swing over the bed with a 19.25-inch swing over the gap, enabling work with larger diameter stock. The lathe accommodates workpieces up to 40 inches between centers, providing substantial capacity for mid-range production runs. Powered by a robust 3 HP spindle motor, the machine delivers nine selectable spindle speeds ranging from 80 to 2,000 RPM, accommodating various material hardnesses and finishing requirements. The 1.5-inch spindle bore accepts standard tooling and work-holding devices. The 7.63-inch swing over the cross slide facilitates efficient tool positioning and depth-of-cut control. The lathe incorporates precision taper roller bearings in the spindle for reliable, consistent performance. Safety features include a standard foot brake, 24-volt control circuit, forward/stop/reverse lever, and an overload clutch on the feed rod. Weighing approximately 1,320 to 1,380 pounds, the machine provides substantial stability during heavy cutting operations. The lathe employs magnetic multiple-disc clutches in the headstock for efficient spindle starting and reversing. This manual operation model is suited for job shops, tool and die facilities, and educational institutions requiring precision turning capabilities without CNC complexity.
