SAMSTAR 40" X 160" MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAMSTAR 40" x 160" manual lathe is a precision heavy-duty machine tool engineered for demanding production environments. Featuring one-piece hardened and ground bed construction with an integrated gap bed system, this lathe accommodates exceptionally large workpieces with a 40" turning diameter over bed and 160" distance between centers. The robust design incorporates hardened and ground ways with an electromagnetic clutch and brake system ensuring reliable operation and safety. Equipped with a 5" spindle bore featuring a Camlock D1-11 mount and MT6 taper, the machine offers 18 forward spindle speed ranges from 6 to 800 RPM. Longitudinal and cross feeds provide 64 individual setting options, with rapid traverse capabilities reaching 106 IPM longitudinally and 53 IPM on the cross slide. The lathe delivers comprehensive threading capabilities across multiple systems: 26 inch thread pitches (14-1 TPI), 50 metric options (1-240mm), 24 diametric pitch settings (28-1 TPI), and 53 module pitch configurations (0.5-120mm). Two roller bearing steady rests—one extra-large with approximately 22" capacity and one regular 7" capacity—enable precision machining of long slender components. A taper attachment expands versatility for specialized work. The 4-jaw chuck combined with maximum cross slide travel of 19.750" and compound slide travel of 9 7/16" provides superior workholding and cutting control. Powered by a 20 HP main motor with additional 1.5 HP rapid traverse and 0.125 HP coolant pump motors, this 14,500-pound machine operates within overall dimensions of 242" L x 65" W x 67" H, representing a professional-grade production lathe for high-precision metalworking applications.
