ACME LATHE HD-E MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ACME LATHE HD-E is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe featuring an 18.9-inch swing capacity and a distance between centers of 98.4 inches, suitable for machining long and sizable workpieces. It is powered by a 2.9 HP motor with a maximum spindle speed of 450 RPM, enabling controlled and steady cutting operations. The lathe is designed with a spindle bore measuring 2.1 inches, accommodating a variety of bar stock diameters for through-spindle machining. The swing over the cross slide is 15 inches, allowing operations on slightly smaller diameters when using the cross slide. Its substantial build is reflected in its overall dimensions of 155.9 inches in length, 41.9 inches in width, and 54.0 inches in height, with a robust weight of 3,785 lbs lending stability and vibration damping during machining. This machine is engineered for precision in heavy-duty turning tasks and is well-suited for workshops requiring reliable manual lathe operation on medium to large-sized components. The lathe’s mechanical design typically includes a geared spindle drive and standard taper spindle nose for mounting common lathe accessories.
