GANESH GTW-22 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The GANESH GTW-22 is a 22-inch heavy-duty engine lathe engineered for precision toolroom and production work. With a swing over bed of 22 inches (560mm) and a spindle bore of 4.125 inches (105mm), this machine accommodates substantial workpieces while maintaining accuracy. The lathe features a 15 HP motor capable of delivering 12 spindle speeds ranging from 15 to 1200 RPM, providing versatility across diverse machining operations. Cross slide travel reaches 14.96 inches (380mm), with swing over cross slide measuring 14.125 inches (360mm), enabling comprehensive radial cutting capabilities. The GTW-22 incorporates hardened and ground Turcite®-coated bed ways and precision gearing to ensure dimensional stability and repeatability. The carriage features a 1.5-inch lead screw with 4 TPI (6mm pitch) for controlled longitudinal feed, while the cross slide offers 0.001-inch resolution per division on diameters. The spindle accommodates up to 3300 lbs of combined load capacity when using chuck, steady rest, and tailstock configuration. Thread cutting capabilities span 2-112 TPI imperial and 0.2-14mm metric pitches, with 50 available feed options for longitudinal work. Standard equipment includes a coolant pump, safety foot brake, and chuck guard, enhancing operational safety and convenience. The machine's robust Meehanite casting construction and precision components make it suitable for production environments, tool and die shops, and educational institutions requiring reliable manual machining capability.
