MACPOWER LX-1000 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a 2-axis CNC lathe designed for precision turning operations with moderate capacity and power specifications. The machine features a 9.8-inch chuck size capable of holding bar stock up to 2.35 inches in diameter, making it suitable for small to medium-sized workpieces. With a maximum swing diameter of 23.5 inches over the bed and a turning diameter capacity of 15.7 inches, the lathe can accommodate parts requiring precision radial cutting operations. The longitudinal machining length of 45.2 inches allows for extended workpiece engagement along the spindle axis, providing versatility for various turning tasks. Powered by a 15 horsepower motor, the machine delivers adequate cutting force for standard turning, boring, and facing operations across multiple material types. The maximum spindle speed of 50 RPM indicates this lathe is optimized for heavier cuts and larger diameter work rather than high-speed finishing operations. The 2-axis configuration provides standard X and Z-axis movement, enabling fundamental turning capabilities with the cutting tool positioned at a fixed turret location. Control is managed through a FANUC OI-MATE TC CNC control system, offering reliable automation and repeatability for programmed machining sequences. This machine suits job shops and manufacturing facilities requiring consistent, precision turning operations on moderately sized components with straightforward geometric requirements.
