OKUMA CADET LNC-8 CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This is a 2-axis CNC lathe designed for precision turning of cylindrical workpieces. The machine features a maximum swing of 15.75 inches and a machining length of 20 inches, allowing for the production of medium-sized parts. The chuck size is 8 inches, providing secure workholding for a variety of stock diameters, while the bar capacity is 2 inches, suitable for bar-fed operations if equipped. The lathe delivers 10 HP of spindle power and can achieve speeds up to 4,200 RPM, supporting efficient material removal and fine surface finishes. The maximum turning diameter is 9.84 inches, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of part geometries. A tailstock is included for additional support during machining, enhancing accuracy and rigidity for longer workpieces. The machine does not include live tooling, a Y-axis, or a sub-spindle, making it best suited for standard turning, facing, and drilling operations rather than complex milling or secondary operations. Barfeed capability is not present, so manual loading or alternative feeding methods are required. The controls make and model are not specified, but the machine operates under standard CNC programming for 2-axis movement, with the X-axis controlling radial tool movement and the Z-axis controlling longitudinal travel. This lathe is ideal for shops requiring reliable, high-precision turning for symmetrical parts without the need for advanced multi-tasking features.
