Technical Description
The LeBlond RKL-39199 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty, precision-engineered machine designed for demanding industrial turning applications. With a 40-inch swing over the bed and a 30-inch swing over the cross slide, it accommodates large workpieces, while the 198.9-inch distance between centers enables extended length machining. The lathe features a robust 4.1-inch spindle bore, allowing for the passage of sizable bar stock or specialized tooling. Powered by a 15-horsepower main drive motor, the RKL-39199 delivers consistent torque and performance for both light and heavy cutting operations. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 800 RPM, optimized for efficient material removal and fine surface finishes across a wide range of metals and alloys. The machine’s rigid 2V solid bed construction, induction-hardened and precision-ground ways, and dynamically balanced spindle ensure exceptional accuracy, stability, and long-term reliability. Standard features include a heavy-duty spindle machined from forged alloy steel, a front-mounted chip pan for easy debris removal, and a comprehensive coolant system for optimal tool life and workpiece quality. The RKL-39199 is equipped with a wide selection of threading options, including inch, metric, modular, and diametral pitch threads, supported by a detailed thread chart for precise setup. Additional standard accessories include a 4-way tool post, face plate, steady rest, follow rest, halogen work lamp, safety disconnect switch, and a comprehensive operation manual. Designed for versatility and durability, the LeBlond RKL-39199 Manual Lathe is ideal for high-production environments in automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery industries.
