ACER E-LATHE 30100V MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ACER E-Lathe 30100V is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe engineered for precision metalworking and production applications. This machine features a 30-inch swing capacity over the bed, accommodating larger workpieces, with an extended 98.25-inch distance between centers for extended part lengths. The spindle bore diameter measures 4.5 inches, providing substantial through-hole capacity for bar stock and hollow workpiece operations. Powered by a robust 15-horsepower motor, the lathe operates at 1,000 RPM, delivering consistent torque for demanding cutting operations. The swing over cross-slide reaches 21.3 inches, enabling versatile tool positioning and access to varied workpiece geometries. Built with chromium molybdenum steel gears in the headstock that are hardened and ground for accuracy, the machine incorporates a forced lubrication system protecting all running gears and bearings. The E-Lathe series design includes a precision geared-head configuration with infinite variable speed control through an inverter drive system, allowing operators to optimize cutting parameters for different materials and applications. Standard features include a built-in coolant system, four-way tool post, face plate, steady rest, and comprehensive safety controls. The tailstock incorporates a hardened and ground quill for repeatability and precision. This machine is ideally suited for job shops, tool and die facilities, and manufacturing environments requiring reliable manual lathe capabilities with excellent rigidity and part accuracy.
