Technical Description
The ACRA 1700 ACH Manual Lathe is a high-precision engine lathe engineered for demanding machining applications. With a 17-inch swing over the bed and a 67-inch distance between centers, it provides robust capacity for a wide range of turning tasks. The lathe features a 2.28-inch spindle bore and a D1-6 spindle nose, supporting versatile workholding options. Its 7.5 HP main motor delivers reliable power, enabling spindle speeds up to 2,000 RPM across 12 speed settings, ensuring optimal performance for both light and heavy-duty operations. The swing over the cross slide is 10.5 inches, allowing for efficient handling of larger workpieces. Constructed with Meehanite cast iron, the bed is vibration-stress relieved, induction hardened (HS70 degree), and precision ground for superior rigidity and accuracy. The removable gap design and precision hand-scraped surfaces further enhance stability and ease of maintenance. The lathe is equipped with a universal gear box for inch, metric, module, and diametrical pitch threading, as well as a forced lubrication system for the headstock and oil bath lubrication for the gear box. Standard equipment includes a 10" 3-jaw chuck, 12" 4-jaw chuck, steady rest, coolant system, halogen light, 4-way tool holder, and full-length splash guard. The machine measures 114 inches in length, 40 inches in width, and 55 inches in height, with a total weight of 4,750 lbs, making it a durable and stable solution for precision machining environments.
