HOSTON C6256 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The HOSTON C6256 is a precision manual lathe machine engineered for versatile metalworking operations in industrial and workshop settings. This horizontal gap bed lathe features a robust swing capacity of 560mm (22.05 inches) over the bed, accommodating workpieces up to that diameter for cylindrical turning, facing, and threading applications. The machine offers a maximum distance between centers of 3000mm (78.74 inches), with configurable options at 1000mm, 1500mm, and 2000mm, providing flexibility for various workpiece lengths. The spindle bore measures 80mm (3.15 inches) with an MT7 Morse taper, enabling secure chuck and accessory mounting. Construction features include supersonic hardened bedways for extended wear resistance and a high-rigidity spindle system with precision-ground gears that minimize operational noise. The spindle operates across 12 speed ranges from 25 to 1600 RPM, suitable for diverse material types and cutting requirements. Threading capabilities are comprehensive, supporting 47 metric thread pitches (0.2-14mm), 60 inch thread pitches (2-112 TPI), 50 diametrical pitches (4-112 DP), and 39 module pitches (0.1-7 MP). Longitudinal feeds range across 35 variations from 0.059 to 1.646 mm/rev, while cross feeds span 35 variations from 0.020 to 0.573 mm. The 200mm gap length enables turning operations on flanged workpieces, and the D1-8 spindle nose ensures compatibility with standard chucking equipment.
