REPUBLIC LAGUN LL-VS-24 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Republic Lagun LL-VS-24 is a robust manual engine lathe engineered for versatile job shop applications, repairs, and prototype work. With a 24-inch swing capacity and 124-inch centers, this machine accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes from small components to extended shafts. The 3.15-inch spindle bore provides flexibility for various workholding options including chucks and collet systems. Powered by a 7.5 horsepower motor operating at 2,300 RPM, the lathe delivers adequate cutting force for both roughing and finishing operations across diverse materials. The 16.75-inch swing over the cross slide enables efficient depth-of-cut control for precision turning work. As a manual lathe, operator control via handwheels and levers allows for adaptive machining of one-off and custom projects with greater flexibility than automated systems. The machine's substantial spindle power and speed range support standard turning, facing, boring, and threading operations. Its capacity and stability characteristics make it suitable for tool room applications requiring precision and fine detail work, as well as general production of small to medium batches. The extended center distance accommodates long shaft work when paired with steady rests for deflection prevention. This lathe represents a dependable platform combining manual control advantages with industrial-grade capability, ideal for shops requiring a multipurpose machine for varied machining tasks without the capital investment of CNC automation.
