PROMPT 1740 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The PROMPT 1740 Manual Lathe features a 17.32-inch swing and 39.37-inch centers, allowing for versatile machining of medium-sized workpieces. It is equipped with a robust spindle bore diameter of 3.23 inches, suitable for accommodating large-diameter stock. The lathe operates at a maximum spindle speed of 1,800 RPM, enabling a broad range of cutting speeds for various materials and precision requirements. The swing over cross slide measures 10.71 inches, facilitating the handling of wider parts on the cross slide without interference. This lathe is designed for precision and durability, typically powered by a 7.5 HP motor with 12 speed settings, though the exact motor power specifics can vary depending on the model variant. It usually incorporates features such as a cam lock spindle (D1-6), a solid cast iron base for rigidity, and precise feed controls to enhance machining accuracy. The combination of significant swing, extensive distance between centers, and sizable spindle bore makes it well-suited for tool room and fabrication shop applications where manual turning, facing, threading, and drilling operations are required. Its manual operation allows for greater control in detailed tasks, and the robust construction ensures long service life in demanding environments. Overall, the PROMPT 1740 is engineered as a high-performance manual lathe for precision machining of medium to large components with flexibility in speed and tooling options.
