OPTIMUM D 360 x 1000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The OPTIMUM D 360 x 1000 manual lathe is a precision-engineered metalworking machine designed for versatile turning operations. It features a **14-inch (356 mm) swing over the bed** and a **maximum center distance of 39.37 inches (1000 mm)**, allowing it to accommodate medium-sized workpieces with ease. The spindle bore diameter measures **1.5 inches (38 mm)**, facilitating the machining of parts with through holes or bar stock feeding. Powered by a robust **3.2 HP motor**, the lathe achieves spindle speeds up to **1,800 RPM**, suitable for a wide range of materials and cutting conditions. Its conventional manual controls provide precise longitudinal feed rates, and the solid build supports accurate and repeatable machining. The lathe includes a tailstock with a Morse taper MT3 quill adjustable up to 95 mm, enhancing versatility for drilling and support tasks. With a total weight of approximately **1,874 pounds (850 kg)**, the machine offers stability during operation, reducing vibrations and improving surface finish quality. The compact footprint, roughly **2,000 x 1,250 x 800 mm**, makes it suitable for workshops with moderate space. Manufactured in Germany, this lathe is known for its reliability, durability, and the precision required for general metal turning tasks and prototyping. It is ideal for use in educational, small to medium manufacturing, and maintenance environments where high-quality manual turning is essential. The fully enclosed feed gear system ensures smooth operation and extended machine longevity.
