SOUND SL 25 MANUAL LATHE

The SOUND SL-25 is a precision manual lathe engineered for general-purpose turning operations and heavy-duty production work. This machine features a substantial swing capacity of 21.65 inches, enabling operators to work with larger diameter workpieces across a broad range of manufacturing applications. The extended distance between centers measures 98.43 inches, providing exceptional length capacity for extended turning, threading, and tapered operations on elongated components. The spindle bore diameter of 3.15 inches accommodates standard tooling and allows for efficient bar stock feeding and workpiece mounting through various chuck configurations. The machine's design emphasizes rigidity and precision, with a robust bed structure that minimizes vibration during high-speed cutting operations, ensuring superior surface finishes and dimensional accuracy. Built for versatility, the SL-25 manual lathe is equipped to handle diverse machining tasks including cylindrical turning, facing, threading, and boring operations. Its manual operation provides operators with direct control and tactile feedback, making it suitable for custom work, prototype development, and small-batch production runs. The machine's substantial footprint and construction support sustained production environments while maintaining tight tolerances. The combination of generous swing and between-centers capacity makes the SL-25 particularly valuable for shops requiring flexibility in workpiece sizing. Whether processing ferrous or non-ferrous materials, the lathe delivers consistent performance across varied applications, from precision component manufacturing to general machine shop operations. Its proven design and construction ensure reliable operation and extended service life in demanding industrial environments.
