HANKOOK KM51/7000 MANUAL LATHE

The HANKOOK KM51/7000 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe designed for precision turning operations on large workpieces. With a swing diameter of 51.0 inches and a center distance of 276.0 inches, this machine accommodates extended shaft turning applications and large-diameter components. The 3.30-inch spindle bore provides versatile tooling options for various cutting operations. Powered by a 40.0 HP motor, the lathe delivers substantial cutting force and torque for demanding machining tasks across different materials. Operating at 500 RPM, the machine prioritizes cutting power and rigidity over high-speed operations, making it ideal for heavy-stock removal and finishing cuts on oversized parts. The manual control system allows experienced operators to maintain precise dimensional control and surface finishes through hands-on adjustment of feeds and speeds. The bed construction features heavy-duty casting with ribbed design to minimize deflection and vibration during high-load machining. This lathe is particularly suited for production environments requiring reliable, repeatable results on large industrial components, shafts, and cylindrical parts. The combination of substantial swing capacity, extended center distance, and robust power delivery makes the KM51/7000 an essential tool for job shops and manufacturers specializing in large-scale turning operations where precision and durability are paramount requirements.
