GANESH GTD-30 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The GANESH GTD-30 is a 30-inch heavy-duty engine lathe designed for precision machining in toolroom and production environments. With a swing capacity of 29.92 inches over the bed and 19.65 inches over the cross slide, this machine accommodates a wide range of workpiece diameters. The lathe features a robust A2-11 spindle with a 4.13-inch spindle bore, enabling secure mounting of large cutting tools and workholding devices. Powered by a 15-horsepower spindle motor delivering 11.5 kilowatts, the GTD-30 generates substantial cutting force for demanding operations. The machine offers spindle speeds ranging from 23 to 1,300 RPM through 12 gear-range selections, providing high-torque capability across the speed spectrum for versatile machining applications. The 47-inch distance between centers supports extended workpiece lengths. The GTD-30 incorporates rapid feeds for both longitudinal and cross-slide motion, enhancing productivity during non-cutting positioning. Thread-cutting capabilities span 2 to 28 TPI, 0.8 to 14mm metric pitches, 4 to 56 diametral pitches, and 0.5 to 7 module pitches, accommodating diverse threading requirements. The machine features a gap bed design with a 12-inch width, allowing swing-through capacity of 40.55 inches for oversized workpieces. Electrical requirements include a 12-kilowatt connected load at 220 VAC or 440 VAC optional, with supplementary motors for rapid traverse (1/4 HP) and coolant circulation (1/8 HP with 11-gallon capacity). This combination of power, precision, and versatility makes the GTD-30 an excellent choice for general machining, tool and die work, and educational institutions.
