MAXCUT MLA-35/8000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAXCUT MLA-35/8000 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision turning, facing, and boring operations on large workpieces. With a swing capacity of 35.43 inches and an impressive 315-inch center distance, this machine accommodates extended shafts and complex components typical in toolroom and production environments. The 6.02-inch spindle bore accepts standard workholding solutions including chucks and collets, providing versatility for diverse machining tasks. Powered by a robust 20 HP motor, the lathe delivers substantial cutting force while maintaining operator control through manual handwheel adjustments, enabling fine cuts of ±0.001" precision on both diametral and axial dimensions. Operating at 700 RPM, the spindle speed is optimized for heavy stock removal and larger-diameter workpieces, with manual speed selection allowing operators to tailor rotation rates to specific materials and tool geometries. The 21.65-inch swing over cross slide permits radial tool positioning for internal and external operations while maintaining machine rigidity. Built with a sturdy cast-iron bed and precision carriage assembly, this lathe minimizes deflection and vibration, ensuring dimensional accuracy and superior surface finish. The manual control architecture grants experienced machinists complete flexibility for custom part production, prototyping, and one-off repairs, making it ideal for job shops and training facilities where adaptability and precision craftsmanship are paramount.
