J & W GH6266Y/1500 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The J & W GH6266Y/1500 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision turning operations and general machining applications. With a maximum swing of 25.9 inches (660mm) over the bed, this machine accommodates workpieces of substantial diameter while maintaining rigid support throughout the cutting process. The 58.9-inch (1500mm) center distance provides ample capacity for extended workpiece lengths, with additional configurations available up to 4000mm for specialized applications. The spindle bore of 4.0 inches enables secure mounting of various cutting tools and work-holding devices, while the 25.9-inch swing over the cross slide permits flexible tool positioning for complex turning operations. Powered by a 7.5 HP motor operating at 1,275 RPM, the lathe delivers consistent torque for interrupted cuts and heavy material removal. The machine features a 400mm bed width that provides lateral stability and alignment precision during machining. An 810mm swing over gap accommodates larger workpiece diameters when utilizing the gap feature, enhancing operational versatility. This manual lathe represents a robust solution for job shops, tool and die operations, and general manufacturing environments requiring reliable performance, straightforward operation, and durable construction for a wide range of turning applications from roughing to finishing operations.
