ACRA 1740TE-2 MANUAL LATHE

The ACRA 1740TE-2 Manual Lathe is a precision-engineered gap bed engine lathe designed for high-speed, heavy-duty turning applications. With a 17-inch swing over the bed and a 10.9-inch swing over the cross slide, it provides versatile capacity for a wide range of workpieces. The lathe features a robust 2.5-inch spindle bore, allowing for the passage of larger bar stock, and is powered by a 7.5 HP motor, delivering reliable performance for demanding machining tasks. The spindle speed ranges up to 1,600 RPM, ensuring efficient material removal and fine surface finishes across various metals. The machine's rigid one-piece Meehanite casting base and induction-hardened ground ways enhance stability, accuracy, and vibration resistance during operation. Designed with a gap bed configuration, the lathe accommodates larger diameter workpieces when needed. The carriage and cross slide incorporate an anti-float design with backlash elimination for precise control and smooth movement. Integrated safety features include a safety clutch on the feed shaft and nylon safety gears in the end train. The lathe is equipped with both inch and metric threading capabilities, a full-length splash guard, steady rest/follow rest, coolant system, foot brake, work lamp, and a 4-position square tool post. Standard tooling includes a 10-inch 3-jaw chuck and a 12-inch 4-jaw chuck. The ACRA 1740TE-2 measures 82 inches in length, 32 inches in width, and 48 inches in height, with an approximate weight of 3,850 lbs, making it a compact yet powerful solution for precision manual turning operations.
