HUVEMA HU 660 I MANUAL LATHE

The HUVEMA HU 660 I is a compact manual lathe engineered for precision turning operations on smaller workpieces. This engine lathe features a swing over bed of 280 mm (11.02 inches), allowing operators to work with materials up to this diameter. The distance between centers measures 660 mm (25.98 inches), providing adequate working length for typical production runs and custom jobs. The machine is equipped with a spindle bore of 26 mm (1.02 inches), facilitating the mounting of standard tooling and work-holding devices. Powered by a 0.8 kW (1.07 HP) electric motor, this lathe operates at a maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM. The moderate power output makes it suitable for light to medium-duty applications, particularly effective for threading, facing, and general turning operations. Designed with induction-hardened and ground guideways, the HU 660 I ensures dimensional accuracy and extended service life. The machine comes equipped with a self-centering three-jaw chuck measuring 125 mm in diameter and includes a complete change gear set for thread cutting applications. This configuration allows operators to achieve various thread pitches without requiring additional accessories. The HU 660 I represents a reliable workhorse for job shops, educational institutions, and small manufacturing facilities requiring consistent precision. Its straightforward manual operation provides operators with direct control over cutting processes, making it ideal for skilled machinists who prefer hands-on engagement with their equipment.
