KNUTH TURNADO 280/2000 V MANUAL LATHE

The KNUTH Turnado 280/2000 V is a robust manual engine lathe engineered for versatile and precise metalworking. It features a substantial swing capacity of 21.97 inches (560 mm) and a maximum workpiece length of 76 inches (1,928 mm), supported by 11-inch (280 mm) center height, allowing the machining of sizable components. The spindle bore diameter is 3.00 inches (75 mm), enabling accommodation of larger raw stock. The lathe is powered by a 7.5 kW (approximately 10 HP) motor, delivering up to 1,600 RPM with variable speed control provided via a modern variable frequency drive for smooth and adjustable spindle operation. The machine includes hardened and ground wide V-block guideways for enhanced precision and durability during heavy-duty machining. Its bed width is 350 mm, optimized for rigidity and vibration resistance. The tailstock features a 75 mm quill diameter with a 180 mm stroke and 5 Morse taper, giving flexibility for additional tooling or support on long workpieces. The cross-slide swing over is 14 inches (355 mm), facilitating a broad turning diameter over the support. The lathe is equipped with adjustable longitudinal stops with automated feed shut-off, along with a digital position indicator that supports absolute and incremental coordinate display. Additional features include hole circle pattern calculations and functions for taper turning. The overall dimensions are approximately 3.34 m length, 1.15 m width, 1.46 m height, and it weighs about 2,720 kg, all supported on a cast-iron base for stability and precision machining.
