FORTUNE PACIFIC T460B312 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The FORTUNE PACIFIC T460B312 is a precision turning lathe engineered for general-purpose metalworking applications. Constructed from high tensile cast iron, the machine features a rigid construction structure that ensures stability during extended machining operations. With an 18.11-inch swing capacity and a maximum spindle bore of 2.05 inches, this lathe accommodates medium-sized workpieces efficiently. The 10.83-inch swing over cross slide provides adequate clearance for complex turning operations and tool positioning. Operating at a fixed 1,800 RPM with 5.36 HP output, the T460B312 delivers consistent torque for steady-state cutting applications across various material types. The machine's precision-hardened guide ways and spindle alignment ensure minimal runout and dimensional accuracy throughout the workpiece production cycle. At 3,748.54 lbs, the substantial mass contributes to vibration damping and enhanced cutting stability. Dimensionally, the lathe measures 84.25 x 39.37 x 47.24 inches, making it suitable for moderate shop floor installations. As a manual machine, it requires skilled operator input for speed and feed rate adjustments, allowing experienced machinists to optimize cutting conditions based on specific material requirements. The T460B312 is particularly well-suited for prototype development, small-batch production, and maintenance work where precision turning, facing, and threading operations are required. Its robust design and proven reliability make it an economical choice for job shops and educational institutions seeking dependable metal-turning capabilities without the complexity of computerized control systems.
