SIDDHAPURA MACHINE TOOLS MD-2 MANUAL LATHE

The SIDDHAPURA MACHINE TOOLS MD-2 is a medium-duty manual lathe engineered for precision turning operations in industrial and educational settings. With a swing capacity of 16.93 inches over the bed, this machine accommodates workpieces of moderate diameter, making it suitable for general-purpose machining tasks. The distance between centers measures 21.06 inches, providing adequate working length for various turning applications and allowing operators to work with components of reasonable proportions. The spindle bore diameter of 2.04 inches enables secure mounting of standard tooling and work-holding devices, facilitating efficient power transmission for cutting operations. The swing over the cross slide of 9.84 inches indicates the maximum workpiece diameter that can be turned while utilizing the cross-feed mechanism, essential for facing, grooving, and shoulder-turning operations. This manual lathe represents a robust solution for shops requiring versatile turning capabilities without the complexity of CNC automation. The specifications reflect a well-balanced design suitable for producing precision components, conducting maintenance operations, and performing small-to-medium batch production runs. The machine's dimensional characteristics make it practical for job shops, tool rooms, and training environments where operator skill and flexibility are valued. Its straightforward manual operation allows experienced machinists to achieve consistent results across diverse applications, from prototyping to production work.
