DALIAN ZT ZT-9332A MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The DALIAN ZT ZT-9332A is a manual engine lathe designed for precision machining operations in small to medium-scale production environments. With a swing capacity of 12.6 inches, this lathe accommodates workpieces up to approximately 6.3 inches in radius, making it suitable for turning, facing, boring, threading, and other standard lathe operations on components of moderate size. The 1.5-inch spindle bore allows for bar stock feeding and accommodates various cutting tools and chucks for versatile work holding configurations. As a manual lathe, the ZT-9332A relies on operator control via handwheels and levers for feed rates and tool positioning, providing the flexibility and adaptability characteristic of engine lathes for one-off jobs, repairs, and prototyping work. The machine features a cast iron bed that provides rigidity and vibration absorption essential for maintaining accuracy during cutting operations. The headstock houses the spindle, which is driven by a belt system connected to a variable-speed motor, allowing operators to select appropriate rotational speeds for different materials and cutting conditions. This lathe is equipped with a tailstock for supporting long workpieces and performing drilling operations, along with a carriage assembly that guides tool movement along the bed ways. The lead screw enables automatic carriage feed during threading operations. The ZT-9332A represents a practical choice for machine shops, tool and die facilities, and educational institutions requiring a compact, manual lathe capable of producing repeatable results with operator skill and experience.
