MAINLAND CA6266C/1000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Mainland CA6266C/1000 is a heavy-duty manual horizontal gap bed lathe designed for precision metal turning operations. It features a maximum swing over the bed of 25.98 inches and a distance between centers of 39.37 inches, allowing it to accommodate sizable workpieces. The spindle bore diameter is 2.05 inches, supporting through-spindle operations with enhanced versatility. Powered by a 10.06 HP motor, the lathe achieves spindle speeds up to 1,400 RPM across multiple step settings, enabling operations ranging from rough cutting to fine finishing. The swing over the cross slide is 15.75 inches, providing sufficient clearance for tooling and part geometries. Its robust bed width of 400 mm ensures stable and vibration-resistant machining. The lathe is equipped with standard features such as an MT6 spindle taper and compatibility with a 3-jaw chuck (commonly 10 inches in diameter), facilitating quick and accurate workpiece clamping. This model supports cutting of internal and external cylindrical surfaces, conical surfaces, and other complex shapes common in metalworking industries. The precision ground bed and heavy-duty construction ensure durability and long-term accuracy, making it suitable for various industrial and workshop applications where manual lathe operations are required. Overall, the CA6266C/1000 combines power, size, and precision to reliably handle medium to large machining tasks.
