REPUBLIC LAGUN LL-ST-24 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The Republic Lagun LL-ST-24 is a manual engine lathe engineered for precision turning operations and general machining applications. This machine features a 24-inch swing capacity over the bed, accommodating workpieces up to 24 inches in diameter, with an extended 124-inch center distance enabling production of long, slender components. The spindle bore measures 3.15 inches, providing adequate clearance for through-spindle operations and accommodating various tooling configurations. Powered by a 7.5 horsepower motor, the lathe operates at speeds up to 1,500 RPM, delivering consistent torque across a wide range of cutting applications from roughing to finishing operations. The swing over the cross slide reaches 16.75 inches, allowing substantial workpiece access and facilitating complex turned geometries. Built on Republic Lagun's reputation for durability, the LL-ST-24 incorporates heavy cast-iron construction with hardened and precision ground bedways for rigidity and vibration dampening. The machine features 3 V-ways maintaining perfect carriage alignment and eliminating lateral twisting during cutting operations. Standard features include a flood coolant system, one-shot lubrication, quick-change gearbox for metric and inch threading, and a hardened main spindle with precision bearings. The manual operation provides operators with direct control over all machining parameters, making this lathe ideal for job shops, tool and die facilities, and production environments requiring versatile, reliable turning capabilities with excellent repeatability and dimensional accuracy.
