ROMI SUPERMASTER MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ROMI SUPERMASTER is a precision manual engine lathe designed for heavy-duty turning operations and general machining applications. This machine features a 27-inch swing over bedways with a 160-inch distance between centers, enabling the machining of large workpieces with extended lengths. The swing over cross slide measures 17 inches, providing adequate clearance for complex part geometries. The spindle incorporates a 2.75-inch through-hole, accommodating various tooling configurations and allowing for through-spindle operations. Equipped with a 15.75-inch four-jaw chuck, the lathe provides secure workpiece clamping for versatile holding applications. The machine offers spindle speeds ranging from 16 to 1,250 RPM, delivering the flexibility needed for both roughing and finishing operations across different material types and diameters. Three steady rests are integrated into the design, enabling operators to support long, slender workpieces and minimize deflection during machining. This robust construction ensures consistent accuracy and surface finish quality for extended operations. The lathe operates on 220-volt single-phase or three-phase electrical power, making it compatible with standard industrial facilities. The ROMI SUPERMASTER represents a reliable platform for tool and die work, prototype development, and small to medium production runs, combining the operator control and versatility of manual machining with solid construction suitable for demanding shop environments.
