SAGAR LATHE MACHINE HMTL-40/2 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAGAR LATHE MACHINE HMTL-40/2 is a manual engine lathe designed for general-purpose metalworking and precision turning operations. This compact machine features a swing capacity of 15.75 inches, allowing for workpiece diameters up to this dimension, while maintaining a center distance of 19.69 inches between the headstock and tailstock for accommodating various workpiece lengths. The spindle bore measures 1.97 inches, providing adequate clearance for mounting standard tapered tools and work-holding devices. Powered by a 2.94 HP motor operating at 1,600 RPM, the machine delivers sufficient torque and speed for moderate-duty turning, boring, and threading applications. The swing over cross slide of 7.87 inches defines the maximum workpiece diameter that can be machined while the cutting tool is mounted on the cross slide, a critical specification for operational planning. This manual lathe is ideal for job shops, educational institutions, and small-scale manufacturing facilities requiring reliable, straightforward machining capabilities without the complexity of CNC systems. The machine's specifications make it suitable for working with materials such as aluminum, brass, and mild steel. Its robust construction and proven design ensure consistent performance for repetitive production runs and prototype development. The manual operation provides operators with direct control over feed rates and cutting speeds, making it valuable for skilled machinists who require tactile feedback during machining processes. This lathe represents a cost-effective solution for workshops seeking dependable metal-turning equipment with moderate capacity and proven reliability.
