LEADWELL T-8S CNC LATHE

This CNC lathe is a mid-sized turning machine designed for precision metalworking operations on cylindrical workpieces. The machine features a 10-inch chuck capable of securely gripping workpieces up to 3 inches in bar capacity, making it suitable for medium-duty production runs and job shop applications. With a maximum spindle speed of 3,600 RPM, the lathe delivers adequate rotational velocity for efficient material removal across various ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The swing diameter of 23.5 inches determines the maximum workpiece diameter that can be machined, while the 22-inch machining length provides substantial axial working space for complex turned components. The CNC control system enables automated, repeatable production with programmable tool paths and precise dimensional control, eliminating manual operator input for consistent part accuracy. This automation capability makes the machine ideal for batch production, reducing cycle times and improving throughput compared to manual lathes. The machine's specifications position it for applications requiring moderate precision turning, threading, facing, and boring operations. It accommodates a range of cutting tools and accessories, with the CNC interface allowing integration into modern manufacturing workflows. The combination of adequate spindle power, reasonable working envelope, and computerized control provides an effective balance between capability and operational efficiency for shops requiring consistent, automated lathe work without the scale and expense of larger production systems.
