SAN SHING SHE-8000 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The SAN SHING SHE-8000 is a heavy-duty precision lathe engineered for demanding industrial applications requiring substantial workpiece capacity and powerful cutting performance. Constructed from high-strength cast iron FC-25, the lathe bed features a rigid box-shaped lower casting design with integrated chip pan, ensuring stability during heavy cutting operations. With a swing capacity of 59.06 inches over the bed, this machine accommodates large diameter workpieces, while the extended center-to-center distance of 315 inches enables machining of lengthy components. The 6.02-inch spindle bore provides ample clearance for substantial tooling and workpiece mounting. Operating at a maximum spindle speed of 320 RPM, the lathe prioritizes torque delivery and precision over high-speed operations, making it ideal for heavy stock removal and rigid cutting conditions. The 24.93 horsepower motor delivers the substantial power necessary for sustained production runs with deep cuts and high feed rates. The swing over cross slide of 47.24 inches provides significant lateral reach for complex part geometries. The machine incorporates a dial rotary system for quick and easy speed changes, along with readily adjustable overload safety devices for operator protection and process reliability. Manual and automatic dual-feed capabilities enable flexible production workflows. This combination of substantial mass, powerful drive system, extended capacity, and precision construction positions the SHE-8000 as a versatile solution for job shops, contract manufacturers, and heavy equipment producers requiring dependable large-part machining capabilities.
