SHETAL HD-2 MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The SHETAL HD-2 is a precision heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for demanding industrial turning and machining operations. Featuring a 17.78-inch swing capacity with an 84-inch center distance, this machine accommodates substantial workpieces for extended production runs. The spindle bore measures 2.12 inches, providing adequate clearance for bar stock and mounted components. Powered by a 2.01 HP motor operating at 25 RPM, the lathe delivers consistent torque suitable for heavy-duty cutting applications and material removal tasks. The swing over the cross slide reaches 11 inches, enabling access to larger workpiece diameters during machining. With a substantial weight of 3,306.93 pounds, the machine ensures stability and vibration dampening during high-stress operations. As a manual lathe, it requires skilled operator control for feed rates, tool positioning, and cutting parameters, allowing for precise customization based on specific job requirements. This configuration makes the SHETAL HD-2 ideal for job shops, foundries, and manufacturing facilities requiring versatile turning capabilities. Standard accessories typically include face plates, chuck plates, center adapters, dead centers, tool post keys, and metric/inch change gear sets, enabling comprehensive machining flexibility. The robust construction and manual control system provide reliability and longevity in continuous production environments.
