L & L MACHINERY A42/3000 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The L & L MACHINERY A42/3000 is a precision manual lathe engineered for conventional turning operations and heavy-duty production work. This machine features a robust swing over bed of 1,100 mm (43.31 inches), enabling the machining of large diameter workpieces with exceptional stability and accuracy. The impressive distance between centers measures 3,000 mm (118.11 inches), accommodating extended workpiece lengths and providing versatility for varied production requirements. The lathe is equipped with a spindle bore of approximately 305 mm (12.01 inches), facilitating the use of standard tooling and allowing for substantial cutting forces during operations. The machine benefits from a center height of 575 mm, ensuring ergonomic operator access and optimal chip evacuation. With a bed width of 610 mm, the lathe provides a stable foundation for precision work while maintaining compact footprint characteristics. All critical components, including gears and spindle shafts, are precisely hardened and ground to HRC 45-50, ensuring durability and consistent performance throughout the machine's service life. The gearbox is protected by comprehensive lubrication systems and built-in safety mechanisms, minimizing maintenance requirements and extending component longevity. Manual operation via hand wheels provides operators with direct control and tactile feedback during machining processes. The A42/3000 is part of the L & L Series A lineup, representing a cost-effective solution for shops requiring reliable, conventional lathe capabilities without CNC complexity, making it ideal for prototype work, job shop applications, and general-purpose machining environments.
