NAGI 380-8 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The NAGI 380-8 is a robust manual lathe engineered for general-purpose job shop applications and precision turning operations. This machine features a 44.0-inch swing capacity, enabling the processing of workpieces with diameters up to 88.0 inches across the spindle, while the 44.0-inch center distance accommodates substantial work lengths. The substantial bed construction provides the rigidity necessary for stable turning, boring, and threading operations while minimizing deflection during interrupted cuts and heavy-duty machining tasks. The NAGI 380-8 is designed to perform a comprehensive range of turning processes including outer diameter and inner diameter turning, facing, threading on both external and internal surfaces, and grooving operations. The machine's versatile spindle system supports multiple spindle speeds to optimize cutting conditions across various materials and tool geometries. The manual operation provides operators with direct control over feed rates and positioning, making this lathe ideal for low-volume production runs, prototype development, and custom machining work where flexibility and operator skill are advantageous. The rigid all-cast iron construction ensures dimensional stability and prolonged tool life through superior vibration damping. The machine accommodates standard turret tooling configurations, enabling quick tool changes and efficient workflow management. Its industrial-grade design qualifies the NAGI 380-8 for demanding metalworking environments requiring dependable performance and straightforward maintenance. This manual lathe represents an economical solution for machine shops prioritizing operational simplicity, ease of setup, and the precision capabilities necessary for producing quality finished components across diverse industrial applications.
