RAVI BANKA 34 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The RAVI BANKA 34 is a light-duty all-gear manual lathe machine designed for precision work in small workshops, tool rooms, and precision-focused operations. This compact machine features a swing capacity of 13.3 inches over the bed and 7.1 inches over the cross slide, making it suitable for turning smaller workpieces with accuracy. The spindle bore of 1.57 inches accommodates standard tooling, while the 23.5-inch distance between centers allows for adequate workpiece length capability. Equipped with a 1.5 HP motor, the lathe delivers sufficient power for light to medium-duty turning operations with spindle speeds reaching up to 1535 RPM across 16 different speed settings, providing versatility for various materials and cutting requirements. The machine features a LOO-type spindle nose and MT-3 tailstock for reliable workholding and positioning. Cross slide travel of 175 mm and top slide travel of 125 mm enable precise depth-of-cut adjustments, while feed ranges from 0.08 to 1 mm/rev longitudinally and 0.02 to 0.25 mm/rev transversely for refined surface finishes. The lead screw is 6 mm diameter, supporting both metric threading (0.4-7 mm) and imperial threading (70-4 TPI). Weighing 1213.8 lbs, this machine maintains rigidity through a hard bed with Teflon coating to minimize wear and preserve accuracy over extended operation. The all-gear construction ensures reliable power transmission without belt slippage, making it dependable for precision manufacturing applications requiring consistent dimensional control.
