Technical Description

The American Turnmaster Power Five Turret Series-TL-50 is a precision manual engine lathe engineered for heavy-duty production and toolroom applications. This machine features a generous 50.2-inch swing capacity with a 6.0-inch spindle bore, enabling the machining of large-diameter workpieces. Powered by a robust 30.0 HP motor operating at 700 RPM, the lathe delivers substantial cutting force suitable for demanding turning, facing, and boring operations. The 39.4-inch swing over the cross-slide accommodates mid-range work while maintaining accessibility for tool changes and workpiece loading. The lathe incorporates a solid one-piece enclosed headstock with preloaded angular contact ball bearings, ensuring high-precision spindle performance and exceptional rigidity during cutting. Standard equipment includes an 8-station turret drum-type carriage for rapid tool indexing, independent DC variable power feeds for multiple operations, and an integrated coolant system with adequate tank capacity for extended machining cycles. The welded steel pedestal cabinet provides storage for collets and accessories while housing the low-voltage magnetic electric control panel configured for 3/60/220 VAC operation with thermal overload protection. This configuration delivers the reliability and versatility required for production environments, offering precision repeatability combined with the manual control necessary for specialized turning tasks and custom work.
