SAN SHING SF-36250 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAN SHING SF-36250 is a heavy-duty precision lathe engineered for demanding industrial turning operations. Featuring a robust 36-inch swing capacity, this machine accommodates workpieces up to 27.5 inches over the cross slide, enabling versatile part configurations. The 250-inch distance between centers provides extended capacity for longer workpiece machining, making it suitable for production runs requiring substantial turning length. Powered by a 15-horsepower motor, the SF-36250 delivers consistent cutting performance across its operational range. The spindle operates at 600 RPM with 12 speed changes, allowing operators to optimize cutting parameters for various materials and geometries. The 4-inch spindle bore accommodates standard tooling configurations with a Morse Taper No. 5 center, facilitating quick tool changes and setup adjustments. Constructed from high-strength cast iron FC-25, the machine bed exhibits superior rigidity and damping characteristics essential for precision work. The longitudinal feed rate ranges from 0.05 to 0.7mm/rev, while cross feeds operate between 0.025 to 0.35mm/rev, enabling fine surface finishes and dimensional accuracy. The compound rest travel of 250mm provides adequate positioning flexibility for complex turning operations. This manual lathe incorporates chip pan provisions in the box-shaped bed lower sections for efficient coolant and chip management. The SF-36250 represents an ideal choice for job shops, tool and die operations, and manufacturing facilities requiring reliable, precision turning capabilities with substantial workholding and center distance capabilities for medium to large production components.
