Technical Description

The MAXCUT ML-1740 is a precision manual lathe engineered for general-purpose turning operations and tool room work. This machine features a 17.32-inch swing over bed, providing adequate capacity for mid-size workpieces, with a 39.37-inch distance between centers enabling extended part lengths. The spindle bore measures 3.39 inches, facilitating through-spindle tooling and chip evacuation. Powered by a 9.38 HP motor, the lathe delivers robust cutting performance across diverse materials and operations. The machine operates at speeds up to 1,800 RPM with multiple stepped speed selections, allowing operators to optimize surface finish and tool life for various turning tasks. The 10.71-inch swing over cross slide provides efficient radial positioning for precision finishing work. Standard features include a solid casting base, adjustable feed clutches, and dual inch/metric calibrated controls for versatile programming of threads and feeds. The lathe accommodates conventional tooling with a D1-6 spindle nose and supports thread pitches from 2-72 TPI in inch standards and 0.2-14mm in metric, making it suitable for both imperial and metric applications. A front-loading chip tray facilitates easier maintenance and chip disposal. One-shot lubrication systems reduce operator intervention while extending component life. The machine includes a full-length safety foot brake and spindle jog button control for enhanced operator safety and precision positioning during setup and operation.
