FOLLOW LC360X1000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The FOLLOW LC360X1000 manual lathe features a **swing over bed of 360 mm (14.17 inches)** and a between-centers length of **1000 mm (39.37 inches)**, providing a versatile workspace suitable for medium-sized turning operations. It supports a maximum swing over the gap around 500-530 mm, allowing for machining of larger diameter workpieces within the open throat. The bed width is approximately 186-220 mm, providing a stable platform for precision cutting. The lathe spindle is equipped with a Morse Taper 5 (MT5) and rotates at speeds ranging from 70 to 2000 RPM across 8 discrete steps, offering flexibility for various materials and tooling requirements. The spindle diameter is around 38-51 mm, enabling robust performance and durability. Longitudinal feeds vary from 0.091 to 2.533 mm per revolution, while cross feeds range from 0.025 to 0.69 mm per revolution, allowing fine control during operations. The lathe includes a compound slide with 70 mm travel and a barrel (tool post) travel of 95 mm, making it suitable for thread cutting and more complex tool movements. It uses a MT3 taper at the tailstock center with a barrel diameter of 32 mm for secure workpiece support. Its main motor delivers approximately 1.5 kW (2 HP), supplemented by a coolant motor for chip and heat management. With capabilities such as 36 kinds of diametral threading (6-104 D.P) and a conventional manual control system, the FOLLOW LC360X1000 is tailored for general machining, light to medium duty tasks, and educational workshop environments that require precision and ease of operation.
