MONARCH CM MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Monarch CM manual lathe is a heavy-duty industrial machine tool designed for precision turning and threading operations on large workpieces. With a swing capacity of 27.5 inches and a maximum distance between centers of 144.5 inches, this lathe accommodates substantial components up to 15,000 pounds in weight. The spindle bore diameter of 2.37 inches provides ample clearance for workpiece mounting, while the 25-horsepower motor delivers the power necessary for demanding machining tasks. Operating across 16 variable spindle speeds ranging from 11 to 500 RPM, the machine offers versatility for different materials and cutting applications. The swing over cross slide of 16 inches enables efficient tool positioning and setup. Standard equipment includes two steady rests with 8-inch and 14-inch capacities, essential for supporting long workpieces and reducing deflection during machining. The integrated coolant system maintains optimal cutting temperatures and tool life. Newall digital readouts (with missing tube) provide precise dimensional feedback for accurate positioning and measurement. Measuring 60 inches wide by 249 inches long by 72 inches high, this machine requires substantial floor space in a production environment. The robust construction and comprehensive feature set make this Monarch CM lathe well-suited for job shops, manufacturing facilities, and precision engineering applications requiring repeatability and reliability on extended workpieces.
