CLAUSING MA2679 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The Clausing MA2679 manual lathe is a heavy-duty engine lathe designed for precision metalworking with a robust 26.7-inch swing over the bed and a maximum center distance of 78.8 inches, making it suitable for large workpieces. It features a substantial spindle bore of 4.13 inches to accommodate sizable tooling or bar stock. The lathe is powered by a 15 HP motor, delivering strong torque and consistent performance, with a spindle speed range up to 1,000 RPM through a manual 12-speed gearbox, enabling fine control over machining speeds for various materials and operations. Its swing over the cross slide is 17.3 inches, allowing for sizable workpiece diameter capacity over the tooling slide. The machine is engineered with an induction-hardened and precision-ground bed for durability and accuracy. Typical Clausing lathe features likely include a geared headstock, precision lead screws, and manual tailstock with anti-slip locking for secure work-holding. The lathe supports a comprehensive range of threading options via its gearbox. This model is designed for engine turning, toolroom, and production applications where reliability and precision are critical, handling operations such as turning, threading, facing, and grooving. Its mechanical construction and power allow it to maintain tight tolerances over extended runs on medium to heavy workpieces. Overall, the Clausing MA2679 is a versatile, high-capacity manual lathe built to meet demanding industrial machining requirements.
