SUMMIT 24-4 x 80 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SUMMIT 24-4 x 80 Manual Lathe features a robust 24-inch swing and an 80-inch distance between centers, accommodating large, heavy workpieces with ease. It is powered by a 15-horsepower motor driving the spindle at up to 1,250 RPM, delivering strong and consistent machining performance. The lathe’s spindle bore measures 4.13 inches, allowing the passage of substantial stock through the spindle. Constructed entirely of cast iron, the machine emphasizes durability and vibration dampening, with hardened and precision-ground bedways ensuring accuracy and longevity. The headstock is cross-ribbed for additional strength and stability, housing anti-friction mounted shafts and dynamically balanced components for smooth operation. A quick-change gearbox enables efficient cutting of American (inch), metric, module, and diametrical pitch threads, enhancing versatility. The lathe offers a 17-inch swing over the cross slide and includes a rapid traverse feature controlled via a four-way joystick for efficient carriage movement. Additional features include a two-speed tailstock, a precision chrome alloy spindle with a D1-8 spindle nose, and a large 4 1/8-inch spindle bore. Measuring 154 inches in length, 48 inches in width, and 60 inches in height, and weighing 8,100 pounds, this lathe is designed for heavy-duty workshop use, providing reliability, precision, and ease of operation in demanding machining environments.
