Technical Description

The CHIZHOU WHITE EAGLE C6246A-1500 manual lathe is a versatile machine tool engineered for precision metalworking tasks. It features an 18-inch swing over the bed, allowing it to accommodate sizable workpieces, and a maximum distance between centers of 59 inches, facilitating the machining of long shafts or rods. The lathe’s spindle bore diameter is 2.20 inches, enabling the passage of substantial stock material through the spindle for turning operations. Driven by a robust 4-horsepower motor, the lathe can achieve spindle speeds up to 2,000 RPM, offering a good balance between power and speed for various cutting, facing, and turning tasks. Constructed with a stable bed and precision ways, it ensures rigidity and vibration absorption essential for maintaining accuracy during operation. As a manual lathe, it requires skilled operator control for tool positioning via the carriage, cross slide, and compound rest, which together enable fine adjustments for depth and angle of cut. The headstock contains the spindle supported by bearings, guaranteeing smooth rotation under load. This lathe is suitable for medium to heavy-duty turning, threading, boring, and facing, ideal for repair, prototyping, and custom one-off parts where operator attention and manual precision are paramount. Its mechanical simplicity and durability make it a reliable choice for metal shops requiring a capable engine lathe with substantial capacity and power.
