LEBLOND RKL-2060V MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The LeBlond RKL-2060V manual lathe features a robust 21.37-inch swing capacity and a 60-inch distance between centers, making it suitable for machining large workpieces. Its spindle bore measures 3.15 inches, enabling the accommodation of substantial stock materials. Powered by a 12.5 HP motor, the lathe provides high torque and efficient power delivery to the spindle. It operates at speeds up to 1,800 RPM, delivering a balance between cutting speed and surface finish for a wide range of materials and applications. Constructed with a heavy-duty forged alloy steel spindle—hardened, precision ground, and dynamically balanced—the lathe ensures longevity, high accuracy, and smooth operation. The machine’s solid 2V bed design enhances rigidity and stability, which is critical for precision machining. This lathe is designed for industrial fabrication and can handle various metals and plastics. It incorporates precision high-grade bearings supporting the spindle for minimal runout and optimal concentricity. The electronic variable speed control allows for fine adjustment of spindle RPM, improving versatility for different machining tasks. Safety and operational efficiency are supported through features such as an LED speed display, emergency stop, and a spindle jogging function. Additional components include a front-mounted chip pan for easy debris removal and standard accessories like coolant systems, toolboxes, and taper attachments (optional). This combination of power, precision, and build quality makes the LeBlond RKL-2060V an excellent choice for high-accuracy manual turning tasks in professional machine shops.
