Technical Description

The CHIZHOU WHITE EAGLE C6246B is a manual engine lathe designed for versatile metalworking tasks. It features an **18.11-inch (460 mm) maximum swing over bed**, allowing machining of relatively large diameter workpieces. The **spindle bore measures 2.05 inches (52 mm)**, accommodating sizable bar stock. The **swing over the cross slide is 10.63 inches (270 mm)**, enabling clearance for tooling and cross-slide operations. The lathe supports a **maximum workpiece length between centers of 1500 mm (60 inches)**, suitable for various turning applications. It incorporates a robust cast iron bed for rigidity and stability during machining. The spindle speed typically ranges from approximately **30 to 2000 RPM**, controllable via multiple steps to suit different machining requirements. The spindle taper is commonly MT6 or ISO-D6 for tooling compatibility. The lathe includes a cross slide with travel around 285 mm and a compound rest travel close to 128 mm, facilitating precise cutting and taper turning. With manual operation, it provides reliable conventional lathe functions including facing, turning, threading, and drilling on metal components. The C6246B is suited for medium-duty metalworking applications with solid construction and standard tooling features, making it ideal for workshops requiring a durable and accurate turning machine.
