ACER E-LATHE 1780G MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ACER E-LATHE 1780G is a high-precision manual engine lathe designed for industrial machining applications, offering a robust 7.5 HP spindle motor capable of delivering high torque for efficient cutting operations. It features a 17.0-inch swing over bed and a substantial 79.9-inch distance between centers, allowing large workpieces to be machined. The spindle bore diameter is 2.25 inches, accommodating considerable stock sizes. The lathe provides a variable spindle speed range with three gear ranges that yield an infinite speed adjustment from 25 to 2200 RPM, with a maximum spindle speed of 2000 RPM, enhancing versatility for diverse cutting tasks. The swing over the cross slide is 9.6 inches, supporting the machining of wider diameter components within the cross slide limits. The bed length is approximately 80 inches, with hardened and ground bedways for precision and durability. It also includes a removable gap to facilitate machining of irregularly shaped workpieces, built-in coolant systems for temperature control, and a four-way tool post for flexible tooling arrangements. Tailstock travel is around 6 inches with a #4 Morse taper for supporting long workpieces. Additional standard accessories include a 10-inch three-jaw chuck, a 14-inch slotted faceplate, steady rest with bronze tips, halogen lighting for improved visibility, and a toolbox with essential tools. Threading capabilities cover a broad range of inch and metric pitches without requiring gear changes, supporting both fine and coarse threads. Overall, the ACER E-LATHE 1780G is engineered for precision, durability, and operational flexibility in professional manufacturing environments.
