NAGI 300-6-1/2 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The NAGI 300-6-1/2 is a manual lathe designed for precision turning operations with substantial workpiece capacity. Featuring a 35-inch swing diameter, this machine accommodates large cylindrical workpieces for outer diameter, inner diameter, and face turning operations. The 34-inch center distance provides adequate between-center length for extended workpiece configurations, making it suitable for medium to heavy-duty production environments. This manual lathe integrates essential turning processes including threading, grooving, and trapezoidal grooving capabilities across outer diameter, inner diameter, and face applications. The machine supports auxiliary operations such as hole drilling, deep-hole drilling, stepping, and tapping functions. Its manual operation provides operators with direct control over cutting parameters and tool positioning, allowing for adaptive machining strategies based on material properties and surface finish requirements. The robust construction of the NAGI 300 series delivers reliable cutting performance across various ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The manual control architecture eliminates dependency on complex CNC programming, making this lathe accessible for job shops and small-batch production facilities. Tool compensation mechanisms and workpiece coordinate system offsets enable precision work with repeatable dimensional accuracy. The machine's 6-1/2 designation likely indicates spindle horsepower or specific configuration specifications within the NAGI product line. Typical applications include shaft manufacturing, bushing production, coupling fabrication, and custom turning operations requiring operator flexibility. The manual interface facilitates rapid job changeovers and quick adjustments to cutting conditions, making this lathe valuable for versatile machining environments where adaptability and operator skill are critical production factors.
