PROMPT 2480 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Sharp 2480V is a heavy-duty manual precision lathe engineered for demanding industrial machining applications. This machine features a 24-inch swing over bed with an 80-inch distance between centers, providing substantial capacity for large workpiece handling. The lathe incorporates a robust 4.125-inch spindle bore with a D1-11 camlock spindle nose, enabling secure tooling attachment and rapid tool changes. Power delivery comes from a 15 horsepower motor with variable voltage options (220V, 440V, or 575V), driving the spindle through an 18-speed gearbox system that ranges from 10 to 1,200 RPM. The machine offers exceptional threading versatility, accommodating 45 different inch threads (2-56 TPI) and 31 metric thread pitches (0.5-14mm). Construction emphasizes durability with hardened and precision-ground induction bedways featuring 65-degree bed guides. The headstock employs clutch-type design with chrome-moly gears and magnetic disc braking for positive spindle control. A four-way rapid traverse carriage system with automatic lubrication ensures efficient operations and extended component life. Additional features include a tailstock with MT-5 taper and 7-inch quill travel, 13-inch cross-slide travel capability, and swing-over-gap capacity of approximately 33 inches. The machine weighs approximately 8,360 pounds and measures 148 by 52 by 73 inches. Standard equipment typically includes a 15-inch three-jaw chuck, steady rest, face plate, coolant system, and digital readout options.
