MEUSER M6B MANUAL LATHE

The MEUSER M6B is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe designed for large-scale precision machining operations. This German-built machine features a maximum swing of 66 inches over the ways, enabling workpiece diameters up to this specification, with an additional 48-inch swing capacity over the cross slide for enhanced versatility. The impressive 384-inch distance between centers accommodates exceptionally long workpieces, making this lathe ideal for extended shaft and spindle work. Equipped with a 4.5-inch spindle bore, the lathe accepts substantial workholding accessories and tooling. The variable-speed spindle delivers up to 400 RPM with 18 speed selections, providing optimal cutting parameters across diverse material types and diameters. Powered by a robust 60 HP motor with 3-phase, 220/440-volt electrical configuration, the M6B delivers substantial cutting force and production capability. The machine incorporates a D1-20 spindle nose, a 24-inch four-jaw roller-type steady rest, and a 48-inch face plate chuck with replaceable jaws for secure workholding. Additional features include a taper-turning attachment through the power compound, a four-way tool post, and a pan bed design for efficient chip management. Measuring approximately 72 inches by 504 inches, this 80,000-pound machine represents a significant production asset requiring substantial floor space and dedicated infrastructure, suitable for job shops and manufacturing facilities requiring superior capacity and rigidity.
