KAAST MACHINE TOOLS C-TURN 230/1000 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The KAAST Machine Tools C-Turn 230/1000 Manual Lathe is a precision engine lathe designed for heavy-duty turning operations with a swing over bed of 17.88 inches and a center distance of 39 inches, accommodating substantial workpieces. It features a 2.10-inch spindle bore suited for large-diameter bar stock, powered by a robust 10.06 HP motor enabling spindle speeds up to 2,800 RPM through an 18-step gearbox. The lathe’s bed and guideways are hardened and precision ground for durability, smooth motion, and accurate cuts, while the headstock casting is heavily ribbed to reduce vibration and noise during operation. The machine offers a universal-type gearbox supporting threading capabilities for metric, Whitworth, module, and diametral threads without gear changes. Its manual configuration includes a 3-axis digital readout, a 4-post toolholder, coolant system, and safety guards like a chuck guard and backsplash guard. The tailstock has a hardened, graduated quill with 2.9-inch diameter and 6.6-inch travel, ideal for precision drilling and support. The lathe provides comprehensive feed rate options with Z-axis feed rates ranging from 0.06 to 0.88 mm/rev and X-axis feed rate from 0.03 to 0.44 mm/rev. Additional features include tool holder travel of 11 inches on the X-axis and 5 inches along the Z-axis, combined with a work light and foot brake for enhanced ergonomics and safety during manual operation. This setup is engineered for stable, accurate, and quiet machining in the metalworking shop environment.
