MAINLAND CA6240B/1000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6240B/1000 manual lathe features a robust design with a maximum swing of **15.75 inches** (400 mm) over the bed and a swing over the cross slide of **8.27 inches** (210 mm), allowing for versatile machining of various workpiece sizes. It supports a maximum centers distance of **39.37 inches** (1000 mm), accommodating longer shafts and cylindrical workpieces. The lathe's spindle bore diameter is **3.15 inches** (80 mm), enabling the passage of substantial stock through the spindle for internal machining operations. The spindle rotates at speeds up to **1,400 RPM**, providing sufficient range for precision cutting across different material types. The machine incorporates a heavy-duty cast body and a widened guideway coated with Turcite-B for enhanced wear resistance and smooth slide movement. It operates with a typical power input of around 7.5 kW (approximately 10 horsepower), enabling efficient metal cutting for materials such as steel, aluminum, and brass. Its gap bed design allows for machining of larger diameter workpieces through the removable section of the bed near the headstock. Hardened and ground bed ways ensure accuracy and longevity. The lathe is suitable for precision turning, facing, threading, and boring tasks in industrial or workshop settings where manual control is preferred for fine machining requirements. Overall, the CA6240B/1000 combines rigidity, precision, and flexibility for a wide range of manual metalworking operations.
