AMERICAN TURNMASTER LA 4080 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The American Turnmaster LA 4080 is a heavy-duty manual lathe designed for large-scale machining tasks, featuring a maximum swing capacity of 40 inches and a distance between centers of 80 inches. It is powered by a robust 15-horsepower motor, providing sufficient torque and power for demanding industrial applications. The lathe accommodates a spindle bore diameter of 4.13 inches, allowing it to handle sizable workpieces and tooling. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 400 RPM, optimized for high-torque, low-speed machining operations typical of large diameter parts. The swing over the cross slide measures 29 inches, offering versatility for turning operations involving both the bed and cross slide areas. This model is constructed with precision hardened and ground bed ways to ensure rigidity and accuracy during machining. Suitable for heavy machining, this lathe combines power and capacity, offering durable headstock components and stable carriage movement to handle tough materials and extended workload periods efficiently. Its manual operation enables precise control over cutting parameters for experienced machinists working on large, complex components. This lathe is particularly well-suited for industries demanding substantial turning capacity, such as heavy equipment manufacturing or repair shops handling large shafts and cylinders.
