MAINLAND CA6250C/750 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6250C/750 Manual Lathe is a robust horizontal metal lathe designed for heavy-duty machining tasks. It features a maximum swing over bed of 19.69 inches (500 mm) and a maximum distance between centers of 29.53 inches (750 mm), allowing for the machining of larger workpieces. The spindle bore diameter is 2.05 inches (52 mm), providing ample clearance for through-spindle work. Powered by a 10.06 HP (7.5 kW) motor, the lathe operates at spindle speeds ranging from 10 to 1400 RPM across 24 selectable steps, enabling versatile speed control for various materials and cutting conditions. The machine provides a swing over the cross slide of 11.81 inches (300 mm), facilitating precision in workpiece shaping and finishing. The lathe’s construction includes a gap-bed design that allows machining of larger diameter workpieces in the gap area, with an effective gap length of approximately 210 mm. It has a bed width of 400 mm which ensures rigidity and stability during operation. The cross slide travel is 320 mm, and the top slide travel is 140 mm, supporting diverse tooling setups and compound turning operations. The spindle taper used is MT6 (Morse Taper No. 6), and the tailstock allows a spindle travel of up to 150 mm with MT5 taper, enhancing versatility for drilling and reaming. This lathe is suited for precise manual operation with a tool post accommodating 25x25 mm tool bits. Overall, the CA6250C/750 offers a solid platform for machining a wide range of metal components with high accuracy and durability.
