RAMAN MACHINE TOOLS HD-1 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The RAMAN MACHINE TOOLS HD-1 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe designed for precision turning operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With an 18.9-inch swing diameter and 22-inch center distance, this machine accommodates mid-range workpieces suitable for general-purpose metalworking applications. The 11-inch swing over the cross slide allows for additional clearance when working with larger diameter stock. Built for durability and stability, the lathe features a robust cast iron construction weighing 2,645.5 pounds, ensuring minimal vibration during operation and consistent machining accuracy. The machine's compact footprint of 78.7 inches in length, 42.1 inches in width, and 57.1 inches in height makes it suitable for small to medium-sized machine shops and manufacturing facilities with space constraints. As a manual lathe, the HD-1 requires operator skill and control for feed rates and spindle speed adjustments, offering experienced machinists full command over the turning process for customized operations. This machine is well-suited for producing shafts, bushings, pulleys, and other cylindrical components requiring precise dimensional control. The HD-1 represents an economical solution for shops seeking reliable turning capacity without the investment required for CNC automation, making it ideal for job shops, training facilities, and operations requiring flexible, operator-controlled production capabilities.
