CINCINNATI LATHE & TOOL HYDRASHIFT 22 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The Cincinnati Lathe & Tool Hydrashift 22 is a robust manual engine lathe designed for precision machining with a 23.5" swing over bed and 13.5" swing over the cross slide, accommodating workpieces up to 48" between centers. It features a powerful 10 HP motor driving the spindle through an L2 long taper key drive, with spindle speeds ranging from 16 to 640 rpm and a through-spindle bore diameter of 2-5/16". The lathe provides fine control over feeds with longitudinal feeds adjustable from 0.0019 to 0.1215 inches per revolution (ipr) and cross feeds from 0.0009 to 0.0578 ipr, supporting threading from 1.5 to 92 threads per inch (tpi). The cross slide allows 16-3/4" travel, and the compound slide offers 4-1/2" of movement, while the tailstock quill has a 6" travel with a #5 Morse taper for tooling. Constructed on hardened ways for durability, it includes a 15" 3-jaw chuck, a 4-way tool post, tailstock, threading dial, and micrometer bed stop for precise machining setup and operation. The lathe measures approximately 80" long, 36" wide, and 54" high, with a weight of about 6,750 pounds. This machine is well-suited for heavy-duty turning, threading, and general metalworking tasks requiring accuracy and reliable power transmission in an industrial environment.
