ACER E-LATHE 30160V MANUAL LATHE

The ACER E-Lathe 30160V is a heavy-duty precision manual lathe engineered for large-capacity turning operations. This machine features a 30-inch swing over bed with a 157.5-inch distance between centers, accommodating extensive workpieces for extended turning and facing applications. The 4.5-inch spindle bore provides substantial capacity for mounting large-diameter workpieces, while the 21.3-inch swing over cross slide enables significant radial tool clearance and versatility in tool positioning. Powered by a 15-horsepower motor, the lathe delivers robust cutting force capable of handling demanding production runs and heavy stock removal. The spindle operates at speeds up to 1,000 RPM, optimized for precision work with larger components. The machine features an all-gear drive system with a unique two-lever universal gearbox offering wide cutting capacity and threading ranges, accessible through simple lever and dial adjustments. Construction emphasizes rigidity with a one-piece casting base, hardened and ground bed ways, and a 9-inch wide FC-30 cast iron bed featuring a hexagonal web structure. The tailstock incorporates a keyed quill hardened to Rockwell C 55° for precision and durability. Additional features include oil-lubricated leadscrew, 24-volt safety control circuitry with Allen Bradley switches, foot brake, forward/stop/reverse lever, and half-nut engagement handle for efficient operation. Standard accessories comprise multiple chuck options, steady rest, follow rest, splash guard, and built-in coolant system, making this lathe well-suited for precision manufacturing, tool fabrication, and general job shop applications.
