EEGW ELITES-25C/150 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The EEGW ELITES-25C/150 is a precision manual lathe engineered for versatile turning and threading applications. This machine features a center height of 59.06 inches, providing substantial capacity for large-diameter workpiece processing. The spindle bore measures 2.09 inches, accommodating standard tooling and work-holding devices for conventional lathe operations. Powered by a 4.94 horsepower motor, the lathe delivers adequate torque for chip-producing cuts across ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The designation "25C" indicates the swing capacity over the bed, while the "150" refers to the distance between centers in centimeters (approximately 59 inches), establishing this as a medium-to-large format machine suitable for production runs and job-shop environments. The manual operation provides operators with direct control over feed rates, spindle speed selection, and tool positioning, making it ideal for skilled machinists performing custom work, prototype development, and specialized threading operations. The ELITES-25C/150 incorporates traditional lathe architecture with a rigid cast-iron bed construction, ensuring dimensional stability during extended production cycles. The spindle assembly is designed for precision rotation with minimal runout, critical for maintaining tight tolerances on turned components. This lathe accommodates both chuck and between-centers work-holding methods, offering flexibility for various part geometries and clamping requirements. The machine's manual transmission system provides multiple spindle speed options, enabling operators to optimize cutting conditions for different materials and tool geometries. Its robust construction and proven design make it suitable for tool rooms, educational facilities, and manufacturing operations requiring reliable metal-turning capability.
