HARRISON V460 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Harrison V460 is a medium-duty variable speed manual centre lathe engineered for versatile machining applications. This machine features an 18-inch (460mm) swing over bed capacity, enabling operators to work with substantial workpieces across diverse industrial settings. The lathe accommodates distance between centres options of 1000mm, 1500mm, or 2000mm, with the 60-inch (approximately 1524mm) configuration providing extended turning length for longer components. Equipped with a robust 11kW (15 horsepower) spindle motor, the V460 delivers consistent power for demanding heavy-duty machining operations. The spindle features infinitely variable speed control across three ranges, providing a continuous speed range from 20 to 2000 RPM to optimize performance across different materials and cutting requirements. The machine incorporates a 76mm spindle bore with a D1-8 Camlock nose, ensuring reliable workholding and quick tool changes. Additional capabilities include a 270mm swing over the cross slide and a 730mm swing in the gap, allowing for complex turning operations and accommodation of larger diameter workpieces. The lathe weighs approximately 2610kg, reflecting its substantial cast iron construction designed to absorb vibration and maintain precision. Designed as a manual centre lathe, the V460 requires skilled operator control for all machining movements, making it suitable for experienced machinists and job shops requiring flexibility and precision in small to medium production runs. Its durable construction and variable speed capability establish it as a reliable workhorse for general turning, facing, boring, and threading operations.
