SHENG HONG CW6280C/6000 MANUAL LATHE

The Sheng Hong CW6280C/6000 is a manual engine lathe designed for precision machining operations in small to medium-sized workshops. Featuring a swing of 31.5 inches over the bed, this machine accommodates workpieces with diameters up to approximately 63 inches when swung over the cross-slide. The exceptional 236.2-inch center distance provides substantial capacity for turning long cylindrical components, shafts, and spindles. The lathe incorporates a rigid cast iron bed construction that minimizes vibration and deflection during machining operations, ensuring dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality. Manual operation via handwheel controls gives machinists direct tactile feedback and precise command over cutting speeds and feed rates, making it ideal for prototype work, job shop applications, and specialized turning tasks. The machine typically includes a 3-jaw chuck or combination chuck setup for secure workpiece holding, along with standard tailstock assembly for supported turning of extended workpieces. Threading and taper turning capabilities are inherent to the design, with versatile tool post mounting for quick tool changes. The headstock spindle delivers variable speed ranges to accommodate different material properties and tool geometries. This combination of substantial swing capacity with extended bed length makes the CW6280C/6000 exceptionally versatile for production environments requiring flexibility in workpiece dimensions. The manual control philosophy preserves operator skill utilization while the robust construction ensures longevity and reliability in demanding industrial settings.
