MAXCUT MLA-42/4000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MAXCUT MLA-42/4000 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision turning and facing operations on large workpieces. With a maximum swing of 43.31 inches and an extended center distance of 157.48 inches, this machine accommodates lengthy components for extended production runs. The 6.02-inch spindle bore provides ample clearance for various tool holders and work-holding devices, facilitating versatile machining configurations. Powered by a 26.8 horsepower motor, the lathe delivers substantial cutting force and rigidity necessary for demanding metal removal tasks. The spindle operates at 700 RPM, making it ideal for heavy cutting applications on cast iron, steel, and other ferrous materials where lower speeds and higher torque are essential. The swing over cross slide measurement of 29.53 inches indicates the maximum diameter workpiece that can be machined while the tool carriage remains at its highest position, offering operational flexibility for various part geometries. This manual lathe features a traditional hand-operated control system, requiring skilled operator input for feed rates and depth of cut adjustments. The robust construction and substantial mass ensure minimal vibration and enhanced surface finish quality during machining operations. Designed for job shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing facilities requiring reliable, durable equipment for batch and custom production work, the MAXCUT MLA-42/4000 combines proven mechanical design with practical performance specifications suitable for general-purpose turning, threading, and specialized machining requirements.
