AMERICAN TURNMASTER POWER SIX-80 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The American Turnmaster Power Six-80 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe engineered for large-scale precision machining operations. With a 79.96-inch swing capacity and 64.92-inch swing over the cross slide, this machine accommodates substantial workpiece diameters for industrial turning applications. The lathe features a 6.00-inch spindle bore with a hollow spindle design, enabling through-spindle machining and accommodating extended workpieces. Operating at 600 RPM, the machine delivers consistent cutting performance while the 39.97 horsepower motor provides robust power for demanding machining tasks involving hard materials and deep cuts. The gap-bed configuration allows for increased swing capacity in localized areas, facilitating the machining of larger diameter workpieces near the spindle. The manual operation provides operators with direct control over feeds, speeds, and threading functions, making it ideal for versatile production work and custom machining where operator expertise is essential. The machine supports multiple thread ranges in both inch and metric standards, enabling diverse threading capabilities from fine to coarse pitches. Built to Lagun/Republic manufacturing standards, the Power Six-80 incorporates a rigid cast iron construction with precision V-ways for superior accuracy and repeatability. This configuration ensures minimal deflection during heavy cutting operations and maintains tolerances across extended machining sessions. The machine is equipped with comprehensive threading capabilities, variable feed control, and a tailstock quill system for center work and drilling operations. The American Turnmaster Power Six-80 represents an excellent choice for job shops, contract manufacturers, and industrial facilities requiring reliable, high-capacity manual lathe capabilities.
