The KAAST D-Turn HD480/2000 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision turning of large-diameter and extended workpieces. With a 37.0-inch swing and 78.0-inch center-to-center distance, this machine accommodates substantial parts while maintaining rigid structural integrity. The spindle bore diameter measures 5.9 inches, compatible with A2-11 turning chuck mounts, supporting versatile workholding configurations. Operating at speeds up to 420 rpm across 16 selectable gear stages, the lathe delivers 30 horsepower for demanding rough and finish machining operations. The machine features a robust FC-30 cast iron bed with strong ribbing designed to minimize vibrations during heavy cutting. Both X and Z axes are coated with Turcite B, reducing friction and extending machine life while ensuring precision for years. Transmission components comprise hardened and ground high-alloy steel operating in an oil bath, with a multi-plate clutch driving the main spindle. The universal quick-change gearbox eliminates the need for gear changes, enabling seamless cutting of metric, Whitworth, module, and diametral threads without modification. Standard configuration includes a three-axis digital readout, longitudinal and cross rapid feeds, work light, and coolant system. The 19,360-pound weight provides exceptional stability for consistent accuracy. Optional accessories include follow rests, taper attachments, hydraulic copying attachments, and quick-change toolholders, making this lathe highly adaptable for diverse industrial applications requiring superior precision and reliability.
