LEBLOND REGAL SERVO-SHIFT MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The LeBlond Regal Servo-Shift manual lathe is a heavy-duty engine lathe designed for precision machining with a 25" swing over bedways and a 17" swing over the cross slide, accommodating large workpieces. It features hardened bedways for durability and a taper turning attachment for versatile machining operations. The lathe supports both inch and metric threading, with spindle speeds ranging from 25 to 1000 RPM, controlled through LeBlond’s innovative Servo-Shift system—a mechanical-hydraulic pre-selected gear mechanism enabling smooth, automated spindle speed changes via a single knob, eliminating manual gear shifting. The spindle includes a 3-inch through-hole and a large 16" four-jaw chuck for secure and flexible workholding. Additional features include a steady rest, thread dial for threading accuracy, and chip pans for efficient coolant and chip management. Powered by a robust 10 HP motor running on 460 Volt three-phase electricity, this lathe is built to handle heavy machining tasks with consistent performance. The Servo-Shift headstock streamlines operation by mechanically automating speed shifts while maintaining the reliability of a manual lathe, enhancing productivity and ease of use for complex turning jobs. This machine is ideal for users requiring strong, reliable performance combined with advanced speed control for diverse metalworking tasks.
