MAINLAND CA6266/3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Mainland CA6266/3000 manual lathe is a heavy-duty horizontal lathe designed for robust metalworking applications. It features a maximum swing over the bed of 25.98 inches (660 mm) and a swing over the cross slide of 15.75 inches (400 mm), enabling it to handle sizable workpieces. The lathe supports a maximum length between centers of 118.11 inches (3000 mm), accommodating long parts in a single setup. It is powered by a 10.06 HP (7.5 kW) motor that drives the spindle at speeds up to 1,400 RPM, with 24 distinct speed steps for precise control over machining operations. The spindle bore diameter measures 2.05 inches (52 mm to 105 mm variants exist), allowing larger diameter stock feeding through the spindle. The lathe bed width is 400 mm, offering high stiffness and durability enhanced by intermediate frequency quenching on the bed rails. It includes a four-station tool post that supports standard 25x25 mm turning tools, facilitating versatile cutting operations including internal and external turning, tapering, threading (metric, inch, module), and facing. Tailstock travel is approximately 150 mm, with a Morse taper 5 spindle for secure tool holding. The machine’s overall design emphasizes rigidity, accuracy, and versatility, suited for medium to heavy machining tasks. Its gap-bed construction provides an effective gap length of 210 mm to machine large diameter components through the bed gap. The lathe weighs around 3,500 kg and comes with features supporting high-precision metal turning for industrial manufacturing environments.
