Technical Description

The SUMMIT 22-4x60 is a precision mid-size engine lathe engineered for heavy-duty metalworking applications. Featuring a 21.97-inch swing over bed with a 60-inch center distance, this machine delivers substantial cutting capacity for extended workpieces. The 4.13-inch spindle bore accommodates large diameter stock, while the 12.5-inch swing over cross slide enables efficient tool positioning. Powered by a 15 HP motor operating at 1,250 RPM, the lathe generates sufficient torque for heavy chip loads and demanding operations. All-cast iron construction with hardened and precision-ground bedways ensures dimensional stability and repeatability. The machine incorporates a quick-change gearbox enabling seamless thread cutting in American (inch), metric, module, and diametrical pitch formats without requiring gear changes. Standard features include a clutched headstock, rapid 4-way carriage traverse, and forced lubrication to critical components including the headstock, carriage, and bedways. Included accessories feature a steady rest, follow rest, 3 and 4-jaw chucks, thread dial, taper attachment, coolant system, work light, and full-length splash guard for operator safety and chip containment. At 6,380 pounds and measuring 123 inches by 36 inches by 54 inches, this lathe balances portability with robust construction. ISO compliance and comprehensive safety features establish the SUMMIT 22-4x60 as an industry-leading precision metalworking solution combining calculated accuracy with the horsepower necessary for production environments.
