PANTHER 6610/3 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The Panther 1720353 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision metalworking applications requiring substantial workpiece capacity and power. This machine features an impressive swing of 51.18 inches over the bed, enabling the processing of large-diameter components, with an extended center distance of 118.11 inches accommodating lengthy workpieces for extended turning operations. The spindle bore measures 4.09 inches, providing ample clearance for mounting various tooling accessories and workholding devices, while the swing over cross slide of 37.40 inches allows for significant lateral tool positioning flexibility. Powered by a 15.0 HP motor, the Panther 1720353 delivers robust cutting capability suitable for demanding production environments and heavy-duty stock removal operations. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 195 RPM, this lathe prioritizes low-speed, high-torque performance, making it ideal for rigid turning, boring, and facing operations on large-diameter workpieces. The geared all-belt drive system typical of Panther machinery ensures smooth power transmission and consistent speed regulation across the operational range. The manual control configuration provides operators with direct control over spindle engagement, feed rates, and tool positioning, making this machine suitable for skilled machinists performing custom work, prototype development, and specialized manufacturing tasks. The robust construction and generous capacity specifications make the Panther 1720353 well-suited for job shops, tool and die facilities, and industrial manufacturing environments where reliability and precision on oversized components are essential requirements.
