ROMI ES-40-1.5 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ROMI ES-40-1.5 is a manual engine lathe designed for versatile turning operations with a maximum swing of 20.08 inches and a distance between centers of 59.06 inches, allowing it to accommodate medium- to large-sized workpieces. It features a 15.0 HP motor delivering power to a spindle capable of reaching speeds up to 2,360 RPM, suitable for a wide range of cutting tasks including rough and finish turning. The spindle bore diameter of 2.56 inches enables machining of bars or shafts up to this size through the spindle, enhancing capacity for internal work. The swing over the cross slide measures 12.01 inches, providing sufficient clearance for tool movement during more detailed operations. The lathe is constructed with a rigid bed and precise guideways to ensure stability and accuracy during machining. Its manual control allows skilled operators to perform turning, facing, grooving, threading, drilling, and boring operations with fine control over tool advancement. The machine’s design supports heavy axial and radial cutting loads, making it suitable for production, prototyping, and repair work where reliable throughput and moderate to high precision are required. Overall, the ROMI ES-40-1.5 combines considerable workpiece capacity with robust power and spindle speeds for flexible manual machining applications.
