RAMAN MACHINE TOOLS HD-3 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The RAMAN MACHINE TOOLS HD-3 is a manual engine lathe designed for heavy-duty machining tasks. It features a swing capacity of 19.0 inches (482.6 mm), allowing it to accommodate larger diameter workpieces. The distance between centers is 64.0 inches (1625.6 mm), enabling the turning of relatively long shafts and components. The swing over the cross slide measures 11.0 inches, facilitating precision operations on smaller diameter sections. The lathe's overall dimensions are 118.1 inches in length, 42.1 inches in width, and 57.1 inches in height, providing a stable and robust footprint suitable for workshop environments. Weighing approximately 319.7 lbs, this lathe balances durability with manageable installation requirements. The machine emphasizes manual operation, offering precise control over turning, facing, and threading applications. Its specifications suggest suitability for medium-size machining projects in tool rooms or production settings requiring solid mechanical performance without CNC automation. The substantial centers distance and swing sizes make it appropriate for machining a wide range of parts such as engine components, shafts, and custom fittings. While lacking details on spindle speed and power, the lathe’s physical capacity positions it as a reliable choice for manual metal turning tasks where both size and precision are critical. Overall, the RAMAN HD-3 is engineered to deliver durable, accurate lathe operations within a compact and accessible manual lathe framework.
