ATLASMAQ TM-310 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Atlasmaq TM-310 is a manual engine lathe designed for precision machining of components with various geometric forms. This machine features a 12.2-inch swing over bed, providing adequate capacity for mid-range workpiece diameters, paired with a 35.8-inch distance between centers that accommodates longer workpieces for extended turning operations. The lathe is powered by a 1.5 horsepower motor delivering reliable torque for consistent material removal across diverse machining applications. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 1,500 RPM, the TM-310 is optimized for controlled cutting speeds suitable for cast iron, steel, and non-ferrous materials. The machine utilizes smooth chuck plates enabling secure workholding of parts with different cross-sectional geometries. As a manual lathe, the TM-310 requires operator control for all feed movements and depth of cut adjustments, making it ideal for job shop environments, tool and die work, and educational settings where operator skill development is valued. The combination of moderate swing capacity and extended bed length makes this lathe versatile for both short, high-precision components and longer shafts or cylindrical parts. The 1.5 HP motor provides sufficient cutting force for reasonable production rates while maintaining economic operation. The TM-310's robust construction and straightforward manual operation make it a dependable choice for general-purpose turning work, prototype development, and maintenance operations requiring flexibility and reliability in a compact, space-efficient package.
