ACME LATHE EXD/7 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ACME LATHE EXD/7 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe designed for precision turning and threading operations in industrial machining environments. This machine features a substantial swing capacity of 31.1 inches, enabling the workpiece mounting and machining of large-diameter components. The extended centers length of 161.4 inches accommodates extended workpieces, making it suitable for shaft work, spindle production, and long part manufacturing. The spindle bore of 3.1 inches allows for proper workholding through chuck mounting and accommodates various accessory installations. Operating at 500 RPM, the lathe delivers consistent spindle speed for controlled material removal and superior surface finish quality on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The swing over cross slide measurement of 19.7 inches indicates the maximum workpiece diameter that can be machined above the lathe bed, facilitating practical part positioning and tool clearance. Manual operation provides operators with direct control over feed rates, speeds, and depth of cut, enabling adaptive machining for varied applications from roughing to finish turning operations. This configuration makes the ACME LATHE EXD/7 ideal for job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments requiring versatile, reliable turning capacity. The robust construction typical of ACME machines ensures stability and repeatability across diverse machining tasks. Its manual nature makes it accessible to skilled operators while eliminating dependency on complex CNC systems, providing cost-effective production solutions for traditional machining operations and custom part fabrication requiring high precision and operator flexibility.
