EMERSON MACHINE TOOLS Galileo MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Emerson Galileo manual lathe is a robust precision turning machine engineered for versatile ferrous and non-ferrous metal machining operations. With a 25.98-inch swing and 78.74-inch distance between centers, this lathe accommodates medium to long workpieces, providing substantial turning capacity for diverse production requirements. The 4.13-inch spindle bore facilitates compatibility with various tooling and workholding solutions, enhancing operational flexibility. Powered by a 14.75 HP motor, the machine delivers consistent performance across its 1,600 RPM operating range, enabling operators to select optimal speeds based on material type and specific machining applications. The fixed headstock design combined with ground guide carriage movement ensures high-precision turning operations with minimal deflection and superior surface finish quality. The lathe features an intuitive control panel allowing straightforward adjustment of all machine functions, making it accessible for both experienced and developing operators. Its substantial weight range of 6,613.87 to 9,259.84 lbs provides rigidity essential for maintaining dimensional accuracy during extended production runs. The variable speed capability and electronic regulation system enable adaptation to different materials and cutting conditions. This manual lathe represents a practical solution for job shops, training facilities, and production environments requiring reliable, precise turning capabilities without CNC complexity. The combination of adequate power, generous workpiece capacity, and mechanical precision makes the Emerson Galileo suitable for general-purpose machining, prototype development, and small-batch production operations.
