PAYAL LIGHT-6 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The PAYAL LIGHT-6 manual lathe is a precision light-duty lathe designed for metalworking tasks requiring a swing of 13.0 inches (approximately 330 mm) and a maximum distance between centers of 42.0 inches (1067 mm). This machine features a robust geared headstock and a well-constructed bed suitable for various turning operations including rough, semi-finishing, and finishing cuts. It supports workpieces up to 42 inches in length and offers versatile machining capabilities for materials such as aluminum, copper, steel, and other metals. The lathe's bed length aligns with medium to light-duty standards, providing a compact yet efficient workspace. Its height of center is typically around 165 mm (6.5 inches), which supports standard tooling setups. The control system includes manual feed and speed adjustment mechanisms optimized for precision manual turning tasks, with spindle speeds generally covering a range suitable for light machining operations. The machine is engineered for use in manufacturing plants, repair shops, and educational institutions where manual turning is required. It balances power, accuracy, and ease of operation, featuring a reliable spindle bore and potentially MT #5 or #6 spindle taper for tool compatibility. Its ergonomic design and quality build support effective metal shaping and finishing, making the PAYAL LIGHT-6 a preferred manual lathe choice for light-duty machining applications within an industrial or workshop setting.
