MEUSER M6 MANUAL LATHE

The MEUSER M6 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty engine lathe designed for large-scale metalworking tasks. It features a substantial 55-inch swing over the bed and 41 inches swing over the cross slide, allowing machining of sizable workpieces with precision. The lathe offers an extensive 168-inch distance between centers, accommodating long shafts or extended parts. The spindle bore diameter is 4 inches, enabling the use of large bar stock through the spindle. Operating at a low spindle speed of 6 RPM, it provides fine control and is suitable for heavy cutting operations requiring high torque. Typically powered by a 30 HP motor, this lathe supports robust machining with high stability. Commonly equipped with a taper attachment, a 4-way tool post, and steady rests for complex turning and tapering processes, it supports versatility in turning operations. The rigid gap bed construction improves chip clearance and access to the spindle bore, facilitating machining of irregular or large workpieces. Mitutoyo 4-axis digital readout systems are often integrated for enhanced accuracy and ease of use. Overall, the MEUSER M6 delivers a combination of large capacity and durable construction, making it ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring precise control of large metal components. It is well-suited for industries such as heavy machinery, aerospace, and power generation where large and precise turning operations are critical.
