AMCO CZ300A MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The AMCO CZ300A is a precision bench lathe designed for metalworking and small-scale production work. This horizontal engine lathe features a maximum swing capacity of 12.0 inches over the bed, allowing for the machining of cylindrical workpieces up to that diameter. The distance between centers measures 37.0 inches, providing adequate length for turning operations on various workpiece sizes. The spindle bore diameter of 1.5 inches accommodates standard Morse taper tooling, specifically MT5 tapers, enabling quick tool changes and secure tool holding during operation. The lathe operates at a maximum spindle speed of 1,500 RPM, with a variable speed range of 50 to 1,200 RPM available for different material removal rates and surface finish requirements. The machine features a swing over gap of 440mm and a swing over carriage of 173mm, providing flexibility for workpiece positioning and accommodation of larger diameter work near the chuck. The spindle plateau diameter is 160mm with a height of centers at 150mm. The CZ300A is wired for standard 110 volts, single-phase, 60-cycle operation, with provisions for conversion to 220-volt configuration via internal wiring adjustments. This manual lathe weighs approximately 525 kg and measures 1,680mm in length, 690mm in width, and 1,290mm in height, making it suitable for workshop and small manufacturing environments. The machine combines robust construction with practical functionality for general turning, threading, and facing operations.
