NAGI 305 6.1/2 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The NAGI 305 6.1/2 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty engine lathe designed for precision and durability in metal turning applications. It features a substantial swing capacity of 35 inches and centers measuring 34 inches, enabling it to handle large workpieces up to these dimensions. The lathe is built on a robust one-piece floor-type casting bed with two shear bed ways and an additional way supporting the apron for enhanced stability and accuracy. All ways are hardened and ground to provide long-lasting wear resistance and precise movement. The spindle is made from alloy steel, ensuring strength and durability during high-torque operations. This lathe is suitable for diverse turning tasks, including outer and inner diameter turning, facing, threading, grooving, and keyway cutting across front face, outer surface, and side surfaces. Its manual control allows skilled operators to perform complex machining processes with reliable control over tool offsets, rotation speeds, and feed rates. The NAGI 305 is commonly used in industrial settings requiring high-performance manual turning on relatively large workpieces, supported by its robust construction and extensive machining capacity. Its combination of swing and centers capacity allows for machining long and wide cylindrical components efficiently while maintaining precision necessary for applications such as component repair, prototype fabrication, and small-batch production.
