SAN SHING SE-36120 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The San Shing SE-36120 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty machine designed for precision metal turning with a 36-inch swing and 120-inch distance between centers, allowing it to handle large, long workpieces. It features a robust cast iron bed to ensure stability and accuracy, minimizing vibration and deflection during machining. The lathe is powered by a 10-horsepower motor delivering up to 1,000 RPM spindle speed, suitable for various materials and cutting operations. Its spindle bore diameter of 3.125 inches accommodates sizable stock and tooling. The swing over the cross-slide measures 27.5 inches, enabling access to larger diameters for facing and turning operations. The headstock incorporates precision bearings to support smooth, accurate spindle rotation, while the tailstock provides steady support for the workpiece, enhancing machining accuracy on long shafts. The carriage assembly includes a precision tool post and handwheels with fine graduations to allow manual control of tool positioning, depth, and feed rate, ideal for intricate and custom machining jobs. This manual lathe emphasizes operator control, making it suited for prototyping, repair, and low-volume production where flexibility and skilled craftsmanship are essential. Its overall construction prioritizes durability and precision, making it a reliable choice for traditional turning, facing, and boring tasks in metalworking environments.
