PAYAL HEAVY DUTY LATHE-1 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The PAYAL Heavy Duty Lathe-1 is a manual lathe engineered for precision turning, facing, and boring operations across a range of manufacturing and workshop applications. With an 18-inch swing capacity, this machine accommodates mid-sized workpieces, while its 20-inch center distance enables extended shaft and component machining. The 2.28-inch spindle bore provides adequate clearance for standard tooling and workholding accessories, including chucks, collets, and magnetic systems for versatile part clamping configurations. The machine's footprint of 6 feet by 3.5 feet by 4.5 feet positions it as a compact bench or floor-mounted lathe suitable for job shops, toolrooms, and educational settings where space efficiency is critical. As a manual lathe, operator skill directly influences accuracy and repeatability, making it ideal for prototype development, short production runs, and repair work requiring adaptability. The bed construction, typical of heavy-duty designs, delivers the stability and rigidity necessary for consistent surface finishes and dimensional accuracy. The manual control system offers operators direct feedback and precision through handwheel adjustments with graduated markings, enabling intricate turning profiles, tapers, and complex geometries. Workholding is facilitated through standard lathe components including the headstock spindle bearings, tailstock for drill and reamer holding, and carriage assembly with feed mechanisms. This configuration makes the PAYAL Heavy Duty Lathe-1 well-suited for versatile machining tasks requiring operator expertise and mechanical reliability.
