LEADWELL T-7I CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 2-axis CNC lathe is a compact precision turning machine designed for efficient production of smaller workpieces. With a maximum bar capacity of 2.6 inches, it accommodates standard stock material for general machining operations. The machine features a 20.5-inch swing over bed, indicating the maximum diameter of parts that can rotate during turning operations. The spindle reaches speeds up to 4,500 RPM, enabling efficient drilling and machining across various materials while allowing for the production of intricate workpieces. As a 2-axis system, the machine operates on X and Z axes, with the cutting tool positioned at a fixed turret location, making it suitable for standard turning applications without the complexity of multi-axis milling operations. The included tailstock provides essential support for longer workpieces, extending stability during drilling and turning operations by allowing the quill to extend and retract as needed. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) automation ensures precision, repeatability, and reduced manual intervention, allowing operators to program complex turning sequences for consistent part quality. Standard accessories typically include a main motor with variable frequency drive, manual turret configuration, coolant system for enhanced tool life and workpiece finish, and automatic lubrication to maintain optimal machine performance. The combination of these specifications makes this lathe well-suited for small to medium production runs, prototype development, and general job shop applications requiring reliable precision turning capabilities without advanced multi-axis complexity.
