PAYAL MEDIUM-4-6 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The PAYAL MEDIUM-4-6 manual lathe is a medium-duty lathe machine designed for precise metal turning operations. It features a swing capacity of 16 inches (406.4 mm) allowing for machining of larger diameter workpieces and a distance between centers of 23 inches (584.2 mm) for accommodating longer parts. The machine incorporates a robust cast iron bed for stability and vibration reduction during operation. It is an all-geared head lathe with multiple spindle speeds typically ranging between 30 to 750 RPM, suitable for diverse machining tasks. The spindle bore is optimized for standard tooling, facilitating ease of setup and versatility. The lathe includes essential components such as a lead screw, tailstock with Morse taper, cross-slide, and compound tool post, enabling threading, facing, and turning operations. The carriage and feed mechanisms are equipped with gear and feed clutches to transmit motion efficiently from the lead screw or feed rod for automatic or manual feeds. The machine is powered by a 2 HP motor (typical for similar models), providing adequate torque for medium-duty applications. Standard accessories often include chuck plates, sleeves, dead centers, tool post, motor pulley, V-belt, and switch, supporting immediate workshop readiness. Its manual operation and medium-duty classification make it ideal for small to medium-sized workshops requiring precision and durability in metal turning tasks.
