HWACHEON HL-950/3000 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The HWACHEON HL-950/3000 is a precision manual engine lathe engineered for heavy-duty turning operations on large workpieces. This parallel lathe features a robust 37.4-inch swing capacity with 118.1 inches between centers, providing exceptional versatility for extended workpiece lengths. The 4.1-inch spindle bore accommodates substantial bar stock and allows for through-spindle machining applications. Powered by a 20.1 HP motor operating at 850 RPM, the machine delivers substantial torque suitable for interrupted cuts and rigid material removal. The 24.8-inch swing over the cross slide enables efficient access for tool positioning and workpiece manipulation. Built to achieve surface roughness ratings as fine as 3.2 micrometers and dimensional accuracy to IT7 standards, this lathe produces high-quality finished surfaces on machined components. The manual operation requires skilled operator control for optimizing cutting parameters and feed rates. The machine accommodates a gap bridge bed configuration, permitting machining of large disc-type workpieces that would otherwise exceed standard swing limitations. The HWACHEON HL-950/3000 is particularly suited for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production facilities requiring flexible manual control over complex turning operations. Its cast iron construction and precision-ground ways ensure stability during heavy cutting loads, while the substantial mass provides vibration dampening for superior surface finish quality. The combination of generous workpiece capacity, powerful drive system, and proven reliability makes this lathe an excellent choice for diverse industrial turning applications requiring both precision and production capability.
