Technical Description

The Nardini ND-250 is a manual metal lathe engineered for precision machining with a swing capacity of 12.57 inches (approximately 320 mm) and a distance between centers of 62.93 inches (about 1600 mm). It features a robust bed design allowing effective turning over the bed and carriage, with a swing of roughly 12.57 inches over the bed and 12.57 inches over the carriage cross-slide. The spindle bore measures around 52 mm, enabling the accommodation of sizable workpieces. The lathe is equipped with a gear-driven headstock offering a broad speed range, typically 18 speeds from approximately 25 to 2000 rpm, facilitating versatile machining operations from roughing to finishing. It includes a 3-jaw chuck and steady rest support suitable for long workpieces, along with taper turning capabilities and threading functions for metric and imperial screw threads. The manual operation ensures skilled control, suitable for tool room applications and medium-duty manufacturing. The ND-250 is recognized for its balanced combination of cutting capacity, precision, and rigidity, making it suitable for a variety of metal turning tasks, including cylindrical, conical, and threaded components. Its construction reflects durability, with hardened and ground bed ways for smooth slide movement and longevity. This model is commonly used in industrial workshops requiring accurate and flexible manual turning solutions with extended centers length for larger parts.
