SHEM CQ6236 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SHEM CQ6236 is a manual, gap-bed lathe machine designed for small to medium-duty machining operations. With a swing over bed of 360mm (14.17 inches) and a center height of 180mm, this machine accommodates workpieces up to 1000mm in length between centers. The gap-bed design enables machining of larger diameter workpieces in the gap section, with a swing capacity of 490mm and gap length of 130mm. The lathe features a robust 52mm spindle bore with a D5 spindle nose and Morse taper capability (MT6/MT4), providing versatile tooling options. The spindle speed range extends from 65 to 1800 RPM with 18 speed variations, allowing optimization for diverse materials and cutting operations. The machine is powered by a 2.0 HP spindle drive motor, making it suitable for general-purpose turning, facing, and threading tasks. Precision control is facilitated through a 24mm leadscrew with 4-60 TPI imperial or 0.4-7mm metric thread pitches, enabling the production of both standard and custom threads. The cross slide features 230mm total travel, while the top slide offers 120mm travel for flexible tool positioning. Additional features include a 52mm tailstock quill with MT4 taper and 110mm travel capacity, a 4/75 HP coolant pump motor for chip management, and a total machine weight of 670kg. The CQ6236 represents an economical choice for job shops, educational institutions, and small manufacturing facilities requiring reliable manual turning capabilities.
