MAINLAND CA6280/1000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6280/1000 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty horizontal metalworking lathe designed for precision machining of workpieces up to 1000 mm in length. It features a maximum swing over bed of 31.5 inches (800 mm) and a swing over cross slide of 21.3 inches (540 mm), accommodating large diameter turning operations. The lathe has a spindle bore diameter of 3.15 inches (80 mm) allowing substantial through-spindle capacity. Powered by a robust 10.1 HP (7.5 kW) motor, it delivers variable spindle speeds up to 1,400 RPM with 24 speed steps, providing versatility for different cutting conditions and materials. The bed width measures 400 mm, ensuring stable support and accuracy during machining. The machine supports tooling with a 25×25 mm section, compatible with standard turning tools. The distance between centers is 1000 mm, making it suitable for medium-sized workpieces requiring internal and external turning, facing, tapering, and threading. Its heavy-duty construction, with features such as a MT6 spindle taper and MT5 tailstock taper, enhances rigidity and accuracy for precision metal cutting tasks. Designed for manual operation, the CA6280/1000 combines versatility and power for industrial-grade metal turning applications, backed by reliable build quality suitable for demanding workshop environments. Overall dimensions and weight vary depending on configuration, supporting stable and precise machining operations. This lathe is ideal for metal machining tasks requiring a combination of capacity, precision, and durability. Sources: .
