KAAST MACHINE TOOLS C-TURN 315/2000 MANUAL LATHE

The KAAST C-Turn 315/2000 is a precision manual engine lathe engineered for versatile metalworking applications. This mid-sized machine features a 24-inch swing over bed with a 30-inch swing over gap, enabling efficient handling of larger workpieces. The 78-inch distance between centers accommodates extended workpiece lengths, making it suitable for shaft work and long cylindrical components. The spindle bore diameter of 3.3 inches accepts standard D1-8 chuck mounts and supports a 3.3-inch through-spindle capacity. Operating at 1,293 RPM with an optional 10 HP motor, the lathe delivers adequate power for both roughing and finishing operations. The machine incorporates hardened and precision-ground guideways for exceptional accuracy and durability, combined with a universal-type gearbox that enables cutting of metric, Whitworth, module, and diametral threads without gear replacement. The 17.5-inch swing over cross-slide facilitates efficient chip clearance during turning operations. Featuring 18-speed mechanical spindle control with optional inverter capability up to 1,500 RPM, this lathe provides operational flexibility. Additional specifications include a 350mm bed width, 330mm X-axis travel, and 150mm Z-axis tool holder travel with feed rates ranging from 0.06-0.88mm per revolution. The robust box-type bed construction with extra-wide ways ensures stability under heavy cutting loads, while the low-noise operation characteristic of the C-Turn series makes it ideal for production and job shop environments requiring precision turning capabilities.
