OMG TP 500 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The OMG TP 500 is a robust manual lathe engineered for medium to heavy-duty machining operations. This machine features an impressive swing of 39.0 inches, enabling the turning of large diameter workpieces, while its extended centers distance of 196.9 inches accommodates extended workpiece lengths for complex turning applications. The lathe is powered by a 20.1 HP motor, providing substantial cutting force and torque necessary for demanding machining tasks. Operating at 1,000 RPM, this spindle speed offers a balanced approach suitable for both finishing operations and rough cutting of various materials. The manual control configuration allows operators direct command over all machining parameters, making it ideal for custom work and precision applications requiring operator expertise. With its substantial power output and generous workspace dimensions, the OMG TP 500 is well-suited for small to medium job shops, contract manufacturers, and production environments requiring versatile turning capabilities. The combination of swing diameter and center distance makes this machine particularly valuable for processing shafts, cylinders, and other cylindrical components across diverse industries including automotive, aerospace, and general metalworking. Its manual operation ensures reliability and ease of maintenance while providing experienced machinists complete control over cutting conditions and workpiece positioning.
