PINACHO SC-250/1000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The PINACHO SC-250/1000 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for general-purpose turning, facing, and boring operations across diverse manufacturing applications. With a maximum swing of 20 inches and centers spanning 40 inches, this machine accommodates mid-sized workpieces while maintaining robust bed stability and mass for precision work. The 2.5-inch spindle bore provides adequate capacity for standard tooling and workholding systems, including chuck-mounted components and collet applications for repetitive work. Powered by a 7.5 HP motor operating at 2,300 RPM, the lathe delivers consistent throughput suitable for both rough turning operations that prioritize material removal and finish turning operations requiring smooth surface finishes and accurate final dimensions. The 12-inch swing over the cross slide enables efficient radial depth-of-cut adjustments for stepped features, tapers, and contoured transitions between different workpiece diameters. The manual configuration provides operator control over spindle speed, carriage feed, and tool positioning through handwheels with precision graduations, making depth and cut calculations straightforward while reducing errors. This lathe excels for adaptable one-off work, prototyping, and repairs requiring operator flexibility. The combination of moderate capacity, adequate spindle power, and manual control makes the SC-250/1000 ideal for job shops and toolrooms where versatility and operator skill drive production quality and throughput.
