Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6280/1500 is a precision horizontal manual lathe engineered for versatile metal fabrication operations. This medium-duty machine features a 31.5-inch maximum swing diameter over the bed and a 59.1-inch distance between centers, accommodating workpieces up to 1,500mm in length. The lathe is equipped with a substantial 3.15-inch spindle bore and a 21.3-inch swing over the cross slide, enabling efficient turning, tapering, threading, and facing operations on various metallic materials. Powered by a robust 7.5kW (10.1 HP) main spindle motor, the machine delivers reliable performance across its full operational range. The spindle operates at speeds up to 1,400 RPM with 24-step transmission, providing precise speed control for diverse machining applications. The CA6280/1500 features a 400mm bed width with a MT6 spindle taper and optional gap-bed configuration offering up to 1,020mm maximum swing diameter with 210mm effective gap length for enlarged workpieces. The three-jaw chuck accommodates workpieces up to 300kg, while the tailstock features a 150mm maximum spindle travel with MT5 taper for center support and drilling operations. With an approximate weight of 3,500kg and overall dimensions of 3,000×1,140×1,750mm, this lathe combines durability with operational flexibility. The manual operation and comprehensive threading capabilities—including metric, module, and inch threads ranging 1-96DP—make it ideal for job shops and tool rooms requiring precision metal processing with minimal maintenance costs.
