SMTCL CA6161B MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SMTCL CA6161B manual lathe is a robust horizontal lathe designed for versatile metalworking tasks. It features a maximum swing capacity of 24.02 inches (610 mm) over the bed, enabling machining of relatively large diameter workpieces. The spindle bore measures 3.54 inches (90 mm), accommodating sizable bars or blanks for turning operations. Powered by a 10.06 HP (approximately 7.5 kW) motor, it achieves spindle speeds up to 1,400 RPM, providing sufficient range for various materials and machining requirements. The swing over the cross slide is 14.57 inches (370 mm), facilitating precise turning operations on smaller diameters. The machine is built for high precision and durability, suitable for internal and external cylindrical, conical, and shoulder turning, as well as threading and drilling. It offers manual braking for safety and control. The lathe's construction supports machining of steel, cast iron, and nonferrous metals with dimensional accuracy up to IT7 grade. The bed width and rigid structure ensure stability during medium-duty machining. The CA6161B is an economic and reliable workhorse frequently used in workshops for general and specialized turning tasks requiring manual operation and fine control.
