FORTUNE PACIFIC T320B330 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The FORTUNE PACIFIC T320B330 is a compact manual lathe engineered for precision metalworking applications requiring moderate workpiece dimensions and controlled spindle speeds. This machine features a 14.17-inch swing capacity, accommodating workpieces with diameters up to this specification, while the 7.87-inch swing over the cross slide enables versatile positioning for various turning operations. The spindle bore of 1.81 inches provides flexibility for mounting standard tooling and workholding accessories. Powered by a 4.02 HP motor operating at a maximum of 1,600 RPM, this lathe delivers consistent torque suitable for steady-state turning, facing, and threading operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The variable speed capability allows operators to optimize cutting conditions based on material properties and tool geometry. Weighing 2,866 pounds, the machine provides substantial mass for vibration damping and thermal stability during extended machining cycles. The manual control configuration makes this lathe ideal for job shops, tool rooms, and educational institutions where operator skill directly influences precision and surface finish quality. Its compact footprint combined with the 330mm bed length designation allows installation in space-constrained facilities while maintaining accessibility for workpiece loading and tool changes. The T320B330 represents a practical solution for batch production and prototype development, delivering reliable performance for general-purpose metalworking tasks requiring accuracy within standard industrial tolerances.
