SAN SHING SE-3260 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAN SHING SE-3260 is a heavy-duty precision manual lathe engineered for demanding metalworking applications. This robust machine features a 32-inch swing over bed with a 60-inch distance between centers, accommodating large-diameter workpieces and extended turning operations. The spindle bore measures 3.125 inches, facilitating through-spindle work with substantial material clearance. Powered by a 10-horsepower motor, the lathe operates at a maximum spindle speed of 1,000 RPM across 12 selectable speed changes, providing versatility for various cutting applications. The swing over the cross slide reaches 23.5 inches, enabling access to larger workpiece diameters during cross-feed operations. The machine incorporates a heavily ribbed wide bed with induction-hardened and precision-ground ways, ensuring exceptional rigidity and dimensional stability during heavy cutting operations. The spindle is precision-ground and supported at three points by high-precision bearings, delivering reliable concentricity and repeatability. Longitudinal feeds range from 0.05 to 0.7mm per revolution, while cross feeds span 0.025 to 0.35mm per revolution, enabling precise threading and feed control. The M.T.No.5 taper accommodates standard center tooling. An automatic stopper aids longitudinal feed operations, and the manually-adjustable overload safety device protects against excessive cutting forces. This precision lathe combines heavy-duty construction with manual control, making it ideal for production work, maintenance operations, and prototype development in industrial settings.
