It is equipped with a powerful 15-horsepower motor, delivering spindle speeds ranging from 13 to 1,200 RPM through a timing-belt-driven power train with 12 speed settings and a foot brake for enhanced control. The lathe accommodates workpieces up to 90 inches between centers, offering significant machining capacity. Its hardened and ground bed and cross slide ways ensure durability and precision in operations. The machine's dimensions are approximately 146 inches in length, 47 inches in width, and 59 inches in height, weighing around 6,300 pounds, underscoring its robust construction suited for heavy work. Features include a 2 TPI (threads per inch) lead screw and a cross slide screw with 5 TPI, along with a D1-11 camlock spindle nose, and an MT#5 taper in the tailstock quill. The gap width in front of the faceplate is 10.625 inches, allowing for machining larger diameter components. It also includes industry standard accessories such as a coolant pump, LED work light, tool box, level pads, and splash guards. This lathe is designed for high precision and heavy-duty machining applications, commonly used in power generation and industrial service shops where tight tolerances and heavy cuts are required.
