MAINLAND CA6161/1000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6161/1000 Manual Lathe is a robust, medium-duty horizontal lathe designed for precision metal turning. It features a maximum swing over bed of 610 mm (24.02 inches) and a swing over the cross slide of 370 mm (14.57 inches), accommodating workpieces up to 1000 mm (39.37 inches) in length. Powered by a 7.5 kW (approximately 10 HP) motor, it offers spindle speeds ranging from 16 to 1400 RPM across 24 gear steps, enabling versatility for various turning operations. The lathe's bed width is 400 mm, manufactured from high-strength cast iron with chromium and copper alloy enhancements for improved wear resistance and rigidity. It includes a spindle bore diameter selectable from 52 mm to 105 mm, supporting large-diameter workpieces. The tailstock spindle travel is 150 mm, with standard MT6 spindle taper and MT5 tailstock taper. Threading capability covers metric, inch, module, and pitch threads with multiple ranges supported. The machine incorporates a 25x25 mm section turning tool holder and a standard 250 mm three-jaw chuck. Precision and stability are maintained through careful manual scraping of binding surfaces between the bed, headstock, and tailstock. Overall dimensions approximate 3200 x 1140 x 1750 mm (length x width x height) and the machine weighs around 2200–2400 kg. It is suitable for turning cylindrical, conical, and various rotating surfaces in metalworking, making it a reliable choice for conventional machining tasks requiring accuracy and durability. The lathe comes with standard industrial voltage options (e.g., 380V) and is widely used in workshops for its competitive price-performance balance.
