MAINLAND CA6261C/3000 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6261C/3000 Manual Lathe is a robust gap-bed lathe designed for medium-duty machining applications. It features a maximum swing of 24.06 inches (610 mm) over the bed and 14.57 inches (370 mm) over the cross slide, allowing for versatile turning operations on sizable workpieces. The lathe accommodates large workpieces up to 118 inches (3000 mm) in length, making it suitable for long shaft and cylindrical part manufacturing. Its spindle bore measures 4.13 inches (105 mm), enabling it to handle substantial workpiece diameters and provide strong rigidity during cutting. The spindle operates at speeds up to 1400 RPM, providing a balance between cutting efficiency and surface finish quality, while supporting an effective 4-station tool post for versatile tooling setups. The machine’s horizontal configuration and precision ground bed ensure stable operation and accurate machining. Typical applications include turning, facing, threading, and taper cutting on steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. This lathe is well-suited for general-purpose workshops and manufacturing environments requiring a reliable, manually operated lathe with a large turning capacity and sturdy construction.
