MAINLAND CA6180B/2000 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6180B/2000 manual lathe is a robust horizontal lathe optimized for medium-duty turning operations. It features a swing capacity of 31.5 inches and a center distance of 78.7 inches, allowing for machining of long workpieces up to 2000 mm. The lathe is powered by a 10.1 HP spindle motor, delivering speeds up to 1,400 RPM, suitable for a wide range of materials and cutting requirements. The spindle bore diameter measures 2.0 inches, facilitating the accommodation of sizable workpieces or bar stock through the spindle. The machine bed width is 400 mm, constructed from high-strength cast iron with high-frequency quenched bed rails to ensure excellent wear resistance, rigidity, and lasting precision. The swing over the cross slide is 21.3 inches, accommodating versatile tool movements and larger diameter parts. The lathe also includes a tool post accommodating standard 25×25 mm tool bits, with the machine designed to maintain high precision via carefully scraped and ground surfaces on the bed, headstock, and tailstock. Its mechanical components are engineered for stability, durability, and vibration reduction, contributing to consistent machining quality. Typical applications include turning, facing, taper cutting, threading, and drilling tasks on cylindrical metal parts. Overall, the MAINLAND CA6180B/2000 combines substantial working capacity and power with precision construction, making it suitable for workshops requiring reliable manual turning operations on medium to large workpieces.
