PANTHER 880356 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The PANTHER 880356 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision metalworking operations. This machine features a substantial swing capacity of 33.07 inches, enabling the machining of large-diameter workpieces. With a between-centers distance of 196.85 inches, it accommodates extended workpieces for longitudinal turning and threading operations. The spindle bore measures 4.09 inches, providing versatile mounting options for various chuck and tooling configurations. Powered by a 20 HP motor, the lathe delivers robust cutting force necessary for demanding production tasks. Operating at 275 RPM, this machine prioritizes torque over speed, making it ideal for heavy stock removal and rigid turning applications. The swing over cross slide of 20.08 inches allows for efficient face turning and parting operations on workpieces up to that diameter. The PANTHER 880356 is constructed with hardened and ground guideways and precision castings, ensuring accurate part reproduction and extended service life. This manual lathe represents a traditional workhorse design, suitable for job shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing environments requiring reliable, repeatable results. The combination of substantial power, rigid construction, and extended capacity makes this machine suitable for production runs of medium to large components in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
