SAN SHING SF-36170 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAN SHING SF-36170 is a heavy-duty precision manual lathe engineered for demanding industrial applications. This machine features a robust 36-inch swing capacity, enabling the processing of large diameter workpieces, with a maximum distance between centers of 170 inches, accommodating extended workpiece lengths. The spindle bore measures 4 inches in diameter, providing substantial clearance for various tooling and work-holding applications. Powered by a 15-horsepower motor, the lathe delivers consistent cutting force for heavy material removal operations. The spindle operates at a maximum speed of 600 RPM, optimized for precision turning of large components requiring lower speeds for enhanced accuracy and surface finish. The 27.5-inch swing over cross slide allows for flexibility in workpiece positioning and tool access. The machine is constructed from high-strength cast iron FC-25, featuring a rigid bed structure with a tensile design suitable for sustained heavy cutting operations. The lathe incorporates 12 spindle speed changes for versatile operation across varying material types and cutting conditions. Longitudinal feeds range from 0.05-0.7mm/rev, while cross feeds span 0.025-0.35mm/rev, providing precise control over material removal rates. The compound rest travel extends 250mm, supporting both linear and angular positioning requirements. This manual lathe represents a reliable solution for job shops and manufacturing facilities requiring precision turning capabilities for large workpieces, combining substantial bed length with powerful spindle torque for diverse production requirements.
