PROMPT 24160 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The PROMPT 24160 Manual Lathe features a robust 24.02-inch swing over the bed, allowing machining of sizable diameter workpieces, with a maximum distance between centers of 157.48 inches to accommodate exceptionally long parts. Its spindle includes a 4.13-inch bore, enabling the passage of larger tooling or stock through the headstock for enhanced versatility. The lathe operates at speeds up to 2,000 RPM, suitable for a wide range of turning operations from roughing to finishing. The swing over the cross slide is 13.78 inches, defining the maximum workpiece diameter that clears the cross slide, allowing for precise cutting on smaller diameters with greater control. Typically constructed with a heavy-duty bed for rigidity, this lathe supports high precision through hardened and ground bed ways and robust spindle bearings. Its manual geared headstock likely integrates inch and metric threading capabilities, allowing accurate thread cutting without gear changes. The machine likely includes features such as a four-way tool post, adjustable tailstock with quill travel for drilling and turning, and lever-operated feed controls with rapid traverses to optimize machining efficiency. The sizeable spindle bore, combined with the 24-inch swing, positions this lathe well for heavy-duty manual metalworking tasks requiring both capacity and precision. Accessories such as coolant systems, chip trays, and lighting may be supplemented depending on configuration. This lathe suits professional workshops needing a versatile, rigid, and durable turning center for large and long workpieces.
