PRMG CZ6132A MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The PRMG CZ6132A is a compact manual lathe machine designed for precision turning operations in small-scale manufacturing and educational environments. With a swing diameter of 13.39 inches (approximately 340mm), this machine accommodates workpieces of moderate size while maintaining a space-efficient footprint suitable for limited workshop spaces. Powered by a 1.07 HP motor, the lathe delivers consistent performance for general turning, facing, and threading applications. The machine operates at a maximum spindle speed of 1,600 RPM, providing adequate velocity for efficient material removal across various workpiece diameters and material types. This speed range enables operators to optimize cutting conditions for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The CZ6132A features a conventional horizontal bed configuration with hardened and ground guideways that ensure rigid support and precision during extended operations. The machine incorporates a diagonally ribbed, induction-hardened machine bed with three-point support, minimizing vibration and deflection during cutting. The spindle bore accommodates standard tooling, while the cross-slide and top tool post provide controlled longitudinal and transverse feed mechanisms for precise tool positioning. Designed as a manual operation machine, the CZ6132A requires operator skill and attention to produce accurate results. This characteristic makes it an excellent training tool for machinists developing fundamental lathe operation skills. The machine's robust construction, moderate power output, and proven design make it suitable for prototype development, maintenance work, and small-batch production runs in machine shops, tool rooms, and vocational training facilities.
