BOKY TBL-330 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The BOKY TBL-330 is a compact manual engine lathe designed for precision turning operations on medium-sized workpieces. This machine features a 12.99-inch swing over bed, enabling turning of parts up to approximately 6.5 inches in radius, with a maximum center distance of 39.37 inches between the headstock and tailstock. The spindle bore diameter of 1.49 inches accommodates standard tooling and workholding devices for versatile machining applications. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM, the TBL-330 delivers adequate rotational velocity for efficient cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The manual control system provides operators with direct mechanical control over feed rates, spindle engagement, and tool positioning, allowing for precise dimensional accuracy and surface finish control through skilled operation. The lathe's construction incorporates a rigid cast-iron bed and headstock assembly that minimizes vibration and deflection during cutting operations. Standard features typically include a three-jaw chuck for workpiece clamping, a tailstock with quill adjustment for center work and drilling operations, and a compound tool post for multi-tool setups. The gear-head transmission system enables smooth speed changes and reliable torque delivery across the RPM range. The TBL-330 represents an economical solution for small job shops, educational institutions, and prototype development environments requiring manual turning capabilities. Its moderate footprint and straightforward mechanical operation make it suitable for general-purpose metalworking, threading, facing, and contouring operations without requiring complex CNC programming or automation systems.
