MAINLAND CA6280B/1000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAINLAND CA6280B/1000 manual lathe is a heavy-duty horizontal lathe designed for precision machining of large workpieces. It features a maximum swing of 31.5 inches (800 mm) over the bed and 21.3 inches over the cross slide, allowing for the turning of substantial diameters with accuracy. The lathe supports centers up to 39.4 inches (1000 mm), providing versatility in handling longer shafts or components. Its spindle bore measures 3.15 inches, facilitating work with sizable stock material. Powered by a robust 10.1 HP (7.5 kW) motor, the spindle operates at variable speeds from 16 to 1400 RPM across multiple steps, enabling a wide range of cutting operations from roughing to finishing. The bed has a hardened construction with a width of approximately 400 mm, providing rigidity and reducing vibration during heavy machining tasks. The tool post accepts tools up to 25×25 mm, suitable for standard turning, facing, and threading operations. Tailstock features include an MT6 taper and travel suitable for supporting long workpieces. This lathe is built for durability and stable performance in metalworking shops requiring reliable conventional machining capabilities for medium to large parts. Its design balances power, capacity, and precision for applications such as shaft turning, disc machining, and other heavy-duty metalworking tasks. The combination of a hardened bed, broad swing, and powerful spindle motor makes the MAINLAND CA6280B/1000 a versatile and reliable machine tool choice for industrial use.
