NAGI 480-10 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The NAGI 480-10 is a manual engine lathe designed for precision turning operations on cylindrical workpieces. With a swing capacity of 55 inches, this machine accommodates larger diameter components while maintaining accuracy during machining. The 64-inch center distance allows for extended workpieces, making it suitable for medium to heavy-duty production environments. This engine lathe features a robust construction typical of industrial turning machines, providing rigid support during cutting operations. The manual control system enables operators to manage spindle speed, feed rates, and tool positioning through conventional hand wheels and levers, offering direct control over machining parameters. The machine supports standard turning processes including outer diameter and inner diameter machining, facing operations, and threading applications. The NAGI 480-10 is equipped to handle various cutting tools and accommodates multiple tool stations for efficient job changes. Its design facilitates copying and contour cutting operations, making it versatile for both one-off custom work and production runs. The manual operation requires skilled operator input for optimal results, allowing experienced machinists to make real-time adjustments based on material feedback and surface finish requirements. Commonly used in tool and die shops, maintenance facilities, and small-to-medium manufacturing operations, the NAGI 480-10 delivers reliable performance for ferrous and non-ferrous material machining. The machine's proven design ensures consistent accuracy and longevity with proper maintenance, making it a dependable choice for shops requiring substantial swing capacity with manual operation flexibility.
