AMERICAN TURNMASTER LS 28100 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The American Turnmaster LS 28100 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe engineered for precision and robust performance in demanding machining environments. Featuring a 28.75-inch swing over the bed and a 20-inch swing over the cross slide, this lathe provides ample capacity for large workpieces, while the 100-inch distance between centers supports extended turning operations. The machine is powered by a 20 horsepower main motor, delivering the torque necessary for heavy cuts and efficient material removal. The spindle boasts a generous 4.13-inch bore, allowing for the passage of large-diameter stock, and operates at a maximum speed of 1,000 RPM, balancing high-speed capability with control for fine finishing. Designed with a monolithic floor-type bed/base casting, the LS 28100 ensures maximum rigidity and superior vibration dampening, critical for maintaining accuracy during intensive machining tasks. The lathe is equipped with a 4-way power rapid traverse system, enabling swift and precise movement of the carriage along both longitudinal and cross axes, significantly enhancing productivity. Additional standard features include a coolant pump and piping for effective chip management, a chuck guard with electric interlock for operator safety, a working light, leveling pads, dead centers, and a square tool post. The LS 28100 also comes with a full operator’s manual and service tools, ensuring ease of operation and maintenance. This lathe is ideal for applications requiring both heavy-duty capability and precision, making it a reliable choice for industries such as oil and gas, aerospace, and general manufacturing.
