SAN SHING SE-36160 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAN SHING SE-36160 is a heavy-duty precision manual lathe engineered for industrial production and specialized machining operations. This machine features a 36-inch swing over bed with a maximum distance between centers of 160 inches, enabling the processing of large cylindrical workpieces. The spindle bore measures 3.125 inches (80mm), accommodating substantial bar stock and through-spindle operations. Equipped with a 10-horsepower motor, the lathe delivers robust cutting power with a maximum spindle speed of 1,000 RPM across 12 selectable gear positions, providing versatile speed range for various material conditions and cutting requirements. The machine incorporates a heavily ribbed, wide bed constructed from high-tensile cast iron (FC-25) with induction-hardened and precision-ground ways to ensure dimensional stability during heavy cutting operations. The headstock features precision-ground, hardened steel alloy gears and splines with a dial rotary system for convenient speed changes. The tailstock includes M.T. No.5 taper center with reduction gearing for drilling operations and a quill with metric and inch graduations. The swing over the cross slide measures 27.5 inches, facilitating efficient tool positioning for various turning and facing operations. The apron features manual and automatic dual lubrication systems for slide surfaces and an adjustable overload safety device for operational protection. All standard thread pitches—including metric threads, inch threads, module pitches, and diametral pitches—are obtainable without gear changes through the equipped gearbox. This precision lathe suits job shop applications, maintenance operations, and prototype production requiring reliable, repeatable performance.
