NARDINI ND-1560E MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Nardini ND-1560E is a robust manual engine lathe designed for heavy-duty machining operations, featuring a maximum swing over the bed of 15 inches (15-3/8") and an extended distance between centers of 60 inches, enabling it to handle sizable workpieces. It is powered by a 7.5 HP motor, delivering spindle speeds ranging from 25 to 2,000 RPM, which provides versatility for various cutting tasks. The spindle bore size measures approximately 2.06 inches (2-1/32"), accommodating larger diameter stock. The lathe includes a D1-6 spindle nose and a tailstock with a #4 Morse taper, 2-3/8-inch spindle diameter, and 8-1/2 inches of spindle travel, facilitating precise support for long workpieces. Additional features often equipped are a 3-jaw chuck, 2-way tool post, follow rest, and digital readout systems for enhanced accuracy. The machine’s construction includes hardened and ground bedways that ensure durability and smooth carriage movement. With an approximate weight of 3,000 to 3,700 pounds, the lathe maintains stability during operation. Designed for three-phase power supply at 440 V and 60 Hz, it integrates a protective earth and neutral wiring scheme. This model is suitable for precision machining in metalworking shops requiring reliable manual lathe performance with substantial capacity for turning, threading (both inch and metric), and facing operations.
