BERKSHIRE S-32MY CNC LATHE

This is a compact CNC lathe designed for precision machining of small workpieces and prototype applications. With a maximum swing of 19.68 inches, the machine can accommodate parts with diameters up to approximately 9.84 inches, making it suitable for medium-sized turning operations. The machining length of 3.93 inches limits workpiece length, positioning this lathe as ideal for shorter components or specialized applications requiring multiple setups. The spindle reaches a maximum rotational speed of 6,000 RPM, enabling efficient cutting of various materials including aluminum, steel, and plastics at optimal surface speeds. The maximum turning diameter specification of 1.25 inches indicates the machine's primary capability for smaller precision work, such as medical components, jewelry, or intricate mechanical parts. The CNC control system provides programmable automation, allowing for complex tool paths, repeat production runs, and enhanced accuracy compared to manual machines. This combination of specifications suggests a mid-range industrial lathe suitable for tool and die shops, job shops, and manufacturing facilities requiring versatile turning capabilities. The relatively high spindle speed combined with modest swing and length dimensions makes this machine particularly effective for rapid prototyping, small-batch production, and detailed precision work. The CNC control enables integration into modern manufacturing workflows with minimal operator intervention, improving productivity and part consistency. Overall, this lathe represents a balanced design for shops needing reliable, automated turning performance within a compact footprint.
