NAGI 600-16 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The NAGI 600-16 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision turning operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a swing capacity of 65 inches, this machine accommodates large-diameter workpieces, while its 126-inch center distance enables extended length machining for extended cylindrical components. The lathe delivers surface finishes up to 3.2μm roughness, meeting strict tolerance requirements for precision manufacturing applications. This model features a robust spindle system designed for sustained cutting forces and operational stability during roughing and finishing passes. The manual operation allows skilled machinists direct control over cutting parameters, feed rates, and tool positioning for optimized results on complex geometries. The extended bed length facilitates multi-operation setups, reducing part handling and setup time between operations. Standard equipment includes a 4-jaw independent chuck available in multiple sizes (18", 20", 28", 32"), enabling secure clamping of irregular and specially-shaped workpieces, along with 3-jaw scroll chucks (14", 16") for round stock. Additional accessories such as face plates (850mm), live centers, and taper cutting attachments expand the machine's versatility for specialized operations including tapered shafts and angled surfaces. The NAGI 600-16 represents a mid-to-heavy class lathe suitable for job shops, tool and die facilities, and production environments requiring flexible manual control with substantial workpiece capacity. Its combination of swing diameter and center distance makes it ideal for automotive components, industrial shafting, and custom machined parts where precision and surface finish quality are critical specifications.
