REPUBLIC LAGUN ML-1760-G MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Republic Lagun ML-1760-G is a precision manual lathe engineered for versatile turning, facing, and boring operations in job shops, toolrooms, and educational settings. With a 17.0-inch swing capacity and 60.0-inch centers, this machine accommodates mid-range workpieces for both prototype development and short-run production. The 3.15-inch spindle bore provides flexibility for various workholding methods, including chuck systems and collet arrangements suitable for repetitive or precision work. Powered by a robust 7.5 HP motor operating at 1,800 RPM, the lathe delivers consistent cutting performance across diverse material specifications. The 10.9-inch swing over the cross slide enables controlled radial depth of cut, critical for achieving accurate dimensional tolerances in both rough and finish turning operations. This manual configuration emphasizes operator control and adaptability, making it ideal for craftspeople requiring fine adjustments and custom part geometry. The machine's specifications support step, taper, chamfer, and contour features through multiple passes and tool positioning. Its mid-range capacity and power rating position it between compact benchtop models and large production lathes, offering the stability and precision necessary for tool and die work while maintaining the flexibility required for one-off repairs and prototyping applications.
