SMTCL CA6266C MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SMTCL CA6266C manual lathe is a heavy-duty machine designed for precision turning operations with a maximum swing of approximately 26 inches (660mm) and a spindle bore measuring 4.72 inches (105mm), allowing for machining of larger diameter workpieces. It is powered by a 10 HP (7.5 kW) motor delivering robust torque and operates at spindle speeds ranging from 14 to 1,250 RPM with multiple speed steps, providing versatility across various machining applications. The lathe features a 25.98-inch swing over bed and 15.75 inches swing over the cross slide, supported by a 400mm-wide cast iron bed constructed with hardened and ground guideways coated with Turcite-B to ensure high rigidity, precision, and wear resistance. Equipped with an integrated automatic lubrication system, this lathe maintains smooth operation and reduces maintenance demands. It supports turning of workpieces up to 1500-2000 mm in length, includes a spindle taper of MT6, and accepts standard 25×25 mm turning tools. The CA6266C is designed with a horizontal gap bed layout, allowing gap removal for handling extra-large diameters. Additional features include a 13-inch 3-jaw chuck, a tailstock with MT5 taper and 150mm spindle travel, and a heavy, stable machine base weighting around 2,810 kg to absorb cutting forces and enhance stability during heavy cuts. This lathe is suitable for internal and external turning, tapering, threading, and other operations across steel and other metals in industrial settings.
