Technical Description

The JMT LA-560/6000 is a heavy-duty manual parallel lathe designed for precision machining operations in industrial settings. This mid-size lathe features a 21.97-inch swing capacity, allowing for the machining of larger diameter workpieces, with a generous 236.34-inch center distance that accommodates extended workpieces for longer turning operations. The machine is equipped with a 4.00-inch spindle bore, providing ample clearance for various workholding devices and adaptors. Powered by a robust 15.0 HP motor operating at 1,200 RPM, the lathe delivers consistent torque and cutting performance across a range of materials and machining applications. The swing over cross slide of 13.00 inches facilitates efficient tool access and enables straightforward workpiece loading and unloading. This manual lathe represents an excellent choice for shops requiring reliable, traditional turning capabilities with substantial work envelope capacity. The combination of power, spindle bore diameter, and extended bed length makes the LA-560/6000 particularly suitable for production runs involving medium to large workpieces, prototype development, and general job shop applications where operator control and precision are paramount.
