QUALITY MACHINE PRODUCTS QMP-4 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The QMP-4 Manual Lathe is a precision bench-top turning machine engineered for small-to-medium production runs and general machining applications. With a maximum swing of 19.6 inches over the bed, this lathe accommodates workpieces up to approximately 9.8 inches in radius, making it suitable for shaft work, cylindrical components, and general turning operations. The extended distance between centers of 75.8 inches provides substantial axial working length, enabling the machining of elongated parts and complex multi-step operations without repositioning. The swing over cross slide measurement of 13.3 inches allows for efficient radial stock removal and facing operations while maintaining accessibility to the cutting tool. A 2.0-inch spindle bore facilitates the use of standard collets and chuck adapters, supporting various workholding methods for diverse job requirements. The manual operation provides machinists with direct control over spindle speed, feed rates, and cutting parameters, allowing for precision adjustments based on material properties and desired surface finishes. This configuration makes the QMP-4 ideal for job shops, tool and die facilities, educational institutions, and manufacturing environments requiring versatile turning capabilities. The machine's robust construction and proven design support consistent performance across production runs while maintaining tight tolerances. Quality Machined Products and Manufacturing, leveraging over 75 years of precision machining expertise, delivers this lathe with the precision and reliability expected from an established contract manufacturer specializing in close-tolerance work down to 0.0002 inches.
