MEGABORE PC-60 MANUAL LATHE

The MEGABORE PC-60 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for demanding industrial applications requiring substantial cutting power and precision. This machine features a 60-inch swing capacity with 236 inches of distance between centers, accommodating large workpieces for extended operations. The exceptional 28-inch spindle bore provides versatility for processing hollow components and oil field equipment with generous internal clearance. Powered by a 40 HP motor, the PC-60 delivers high cutting force for aggressive machining operations across diverse materials. The swing over cross slide measures 43 inches, enabling efficient tool positioning and access to varied workpiece geometries. The lathe incorporates an 18-speed geared headstock with selectable spindle speeds optimized for both rough and finish operations, complemented by six-way rapid traverse and power feed to the top slide for enhanced productivity. Key construction features include a one-piece floor-type casting bed with 60-degree slant design, ensuring maximum stability and convenient chip disposal during operation. The alloy steel spindle is supported by opposed taper roller bearings, while all headstock gears are hardened and precision ground for extended service life. The machine includes a totally enclosed universal inch/metric gearbox, enabling seamless switching between threading standards without manual intervention. Additional features encompass an electromagnetic spindle brake for safe operation, carriage position device for repeatability, and pressurized one-shot lubrication systems for critical components. The PC-60 represents an ideal solution for heavy fabrication, oil and gas, and large-scale manufacturing environments requiring robust, reliable performance.
