SAN SHING SF-36130 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAN SHING SF-36130 manual lathe is a heavy-duty precision machine designed for large-scale turning operations. It features a 36-inch swing over the bed and a maximum distance between centers of 130 inches, accommodating substantial workpieces. The spindle bore diameter is 4 inches, allowing for the passage of sizable stock through the spindle. Powered by a 15-horsepower motor, the lathe can achieve spindle speeds up to 600 RPM with 12 speed changes available for versatile machining. The swing over the cross slide is 27.5 inches, enabling effective machining capacity across the tool carriage. Constructed with a high-strength cast iron FC-25 bed, the machine’s rigid, box-section casting design resists deformation during heavy cuts, ensuring high accuracy and longevity. The spindle is a large diameter, one-piece forged component supported by precision bearings to maintain stability under load. Longitudinal feed rates range from 0.05 to 0.7 mm per revolution, and cross feeds span 0.025 to 0.35 mm per revolution, providing fine control for a variety of turning and threading tasks. The machine supports multiple threading options including inch threads from 2 to 28 TPI and diametral pitch threads from 4 to 56 D.P. The lathe’s overall design emphasizes durability and precision, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications requiring large capacity and reliable performance. It can be optionally configured with enhanced spindle speeds, quill travel, and taper centers to match specific user requirements. Weight and packing dimensions vary with configuration but are substantial to ensure stability during operation.
