MAXCUT MLA-35/4000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAXCUT MLA-35/4000 is a manual engine lathe designed for versatile turning tasks with substantial capacity and power. It features a **35.4-inch swing** over the bed, allowing it to accommodate large-diameter workpieces, while the **157.5-inch distance between centers** supports machining of long shafts or bars. The spindle bore diameter is **6.0 inches**, enabling the passage of sizable stock through the spindle for extended workpieces. Powered by a **20.0 HP motor**, the machine delivers robust torque and power for heavy-duty cutting operations. It operates at a maximum speed of **700 RPM**, suitable for a range of materials and cutting conditions, balancing speed and torque requirements. The swing over the cross slide measures **21.7 inches**, indicating the maximum diameter the lathe can handle over the cross slide, useful for more precise and close-proximity tooling operations. As a manual lathe, it requires skilled operator input via handwheels and levers to control tool positioning and cutting feed, making it ideal for prototyping, repair, and custom one-off machining where adaptability and manual precision are crucial. The solid construction and specification suggest it is well-suited for heavy, large-scale turning, facing, boring, and threading work in workshops focusing on medium to large parts. Its power and capacity make it a reliable choice for machining large components with accuracy and stability required by tool room or engine lathes.
