AMERICAN TURNMASTER (LAGUN) POWER FIVE 60" X 160" MANUAL LATHE

The American Turnmaster Power Five 60" x 160" is a heavy-duty manual gap-bed engine lathe engineered for precision machining of large workpieces. Featuring a 60-inch swing over bed with an extended 72-inch swing capability in the gap, this lathe accommodates components up to 26,790 pounds. The 160-inch distance between centers enables extended workpiece lengths, while the 47-inch swing over cross slide provides substantial lateral clearance. Powered by a robust 30-horsepower motor, the lathe delivers variable spindle speeds from 7 to 700 RPM through its A2-11 spindle nose, accommodating diverse material and operation requirements. The 6-inch spindle hole supports through-spindle work and chip evacuation for extended boring operations. Threading capabilities include both inch-based (0.5 to 28 TPI) and metric (1 to 56 mm) ranges across 60 threads each, offering versatile programming flexibility. The lathe comes equipped with a Newall DP700 digital readout for precise dimensional control and rapid traverse positioning. A taper attachment enables controlled taper turning, while the 4-jaw chuck with T-slots provides secure workholding with quick-change capability. Integrated steady and follow rests ensure workpiece stability during heavy cuts, minimizing deflection on long stock. The tailstock provides additional support for between-center work and live-center operations. At 35,000 pounds with overall dimensions of 22 feet long by 94 inches wide and 94 inches high, this machine represents a substantial production platform suitable for automotive, oil and gas, heavy equipment, and industrial manufacturing applications requiring precision and rigidity on large components.
