GANESH GTD-44HL MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The GANESH GTD-44HL manual lathe is a robust heavy-duty machine designed for precision turning of large workpieces, featuring a 44-inch swing over the bed and a 31.9-inch swing over the cross slide. It is powered by a 30 HP spindle motor with an optional upgrade to 40 HP, driving an A2-11 spindle with a 6-inch bore capable of accommodating large diameter materials. The spindle is supported by three high-quality bearings (two NSK 32040 tapered roller bearings and one NSK 6036 rear roller bearing) for enhanced rigidity and durability. The lathe offers 16 geared spindle speeds ranging from 4 to 420 RPM, allowing high-torque capabilities across various cutting conditions. Its construction includes Meehanite castings, providing superior strength, vibration damping, and improved surface finishes. The machine incorporates hardened and ground Turcite® coated bed ways, along with hardened and ground gears, ensuring long-lasting precision and smooth operation. Key features include dual inch/metric graduated dials, a thread dial indicator for both inch and metric thread cutting, and a safety overload clutch to protect the feed shaft. Additional specifications include an 11.8-inch quill stroke with two-speed advance for increased thrust force and adjustable tailstock body set-over. The lathe supports a wide range of thread cutting pitches and diametral pitches, making it suitable for complex threading tasks. Automatic lubrication for longitudinal and cross-axis ways enhances machine reliability and maintenance ease. This machine is ideal for shops requiring a versatile, powerful lathe with substantial capacity for large, heavy workpieces.
