SAN SHING SHA-8000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SAN SHING SHA-8000 is a heavy-duty manual precision lathe engineered for demanding machining operations on large workpieces. This machine features a robust high-strength cast iron FC-25 bed with a box-shaped lower portion and integrated chip pan, designed to withstand rigorous cutting forces. With a swing over bed of 36.22 inches and a maximum center-to-center distance of 314.96 inches, it accommodates substantial cylindrical workpieces for extended turning operations. The spindle bore measures 6.02 inches, providing ample capacity for tool and chuck mounting, while the swing over cross slide of 24.41 inches allows for significant radial cutting depths. Powered by a 15 HP motor, the lathe delivers substantial cutting torque with a maximum rotational speed of 320 RPM, making it suitable for heavy material removal on steel, iron, and alloy applications. The SHA series incorporates a forged spindle with multiple speed steps and an enclosed gearbox for reliable power transmission and longevity. Additional features include a taper attachment for rapid precision cuts and readily adjustable overload safety devices for equipment protection. Dual manual and automatic lubrication systems maintain slide surface integrity during extended operations. This industrial-grade lathe is integral to metallurgical, shipbuilding, and manufacturing sectors requiring precision work on large components with consistent accuracy and durability.
