PROMPT 1340 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The PROMPT 1340 Manual Lathe features a **swing capacity of 12.99 inches**, allowing machining of parts up to this diameter over the bed. It has a center distance of **39.37 inches**, accommodating moderately long workpieces between centers. The **spindle bore diameter of 1.50 inches** enables the passage of relatively large bar stock through the spindle for turning operations. The spindle is capable of reaching speeds up to **1,800 RPM**, providing versatility for various material machining and cutting conditions. The **swing over the cross slide is 7.68 inches**, indicating the maximum diameter of the workpiece that can be machined over the cross slide, which is essential for precision facing and turning near the tool post. This lathe is designed for manual operation with controls facilitating fine tool positioning via the carriage and cross slide assembly. Robust construction ensures stability during machining, minimizing deflection and vibration for improved surface finish. The lathe supports standard turning, facing, drilling, and tapering tasks with ease, making it suitable for workshops needing a balance of size capacity and precision in metalworking applications. Its specifications make it an ideal machine for moderate-size component manufacturing requiring reliable and accurate manual lathe capabilities.
