SMTCL CA6261B MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The SMTCL CA6261B manual lathe is a robust medium-duty horizontal lathe designed for versatile machining of steel, cast iron, and nonferrous metals. It features a maximum swing over the bed of 24.02 inches (610 mm) and a spindle bore of 3.54 inches (90 mm), accommodating sizable workpieces up to approximately 750 mm in length. The lathe is powered by a 10.06 HP (7.5 kW) motor, delivering spindle speeds up to 1,400 RPM across multiple steps, allowing precise control over cutting operations. The swing over cross slide measures 14.57 inches (370 mm), enhancing flexibility for a variety of part geometries. Its spindle taper is MT6 with a 3.15-inch spindle bore diameter, supporting standard tooling. The machine is equipped with a 4-station tool post and offers 64 kinds of longitudinal feeds, enabling fine feed adjustments suitable for threading and surface finishing. The bed width is substantial at 400 mm for stable machining performance, and the machine weighs approximately 2,180 kg, reflecting its heavy-duty construction. Additional features include a reliable manual braking system for operational safety and consistent precision with machining tolerances approaching IT7 standards. Its design supports turning of cylindrical, conical, flat, and irregular shapes, plus drilling, reaming, and threading, making it well-suited for general purpose shop floor applications requiring versatility and durability.
