CLAUSING MAV30118 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The CLAUSING MAV30118 is a manual engine lathe designed for precision toolroom and production work. This machine features a substantial 30-inch swing over bed with an extended 118-inch distance between centers, enabling the machining of lengthy workpieces. The lathe accommodates a 4.13-inch spindle bore, providing ample capacity for gripping various shaft diameters and workpiece configurations. Powered by a robust 15 HP motor, the MAV30118 delivers adequate torque for heavy cutting operations across diverse material types. Operating at 1,000 RPM maximum, the spindle speed is optimized for precision work and larger diameter workpieces that require controlled cutting conditions. The swing over cross slide measures 21.25 inches, allowing for effective work clearance during compound feed operations. The machine incorporates a gap bed design with a 7-2/3 inch gap length, enabling the machining of larger diameter components that would otherwise exceed standard swing capacity. As a manual three-speed variable-speed lathe, the MAV30118 combines traditional operator control with improved speed selection flexibility. The bed width of 30.7 inches provides a rigid foundation for precision work, while the compound slide travel of 9.5 inches and cross slide travel of 15.37 inches facilitate accurate dimensional control. This lathe is ideally suited for engine shops, tool and die operations, and production environments requiring versatile turning, threading, and finishing capabilities with precision and repeatability.
