SUMMIT 28-4x160 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SUMMIT 28-4x160 Manual Lathe features a robust 28.5-inch swing capacity and a 160.7-inch distance between centers, supporting large-scale workpieces. It is equipped with a 4.13-inch spindle bore designed for versatility in bar stock machining. This lathe is driven by a powerful 15 HP motor operating at up to 1,250 RPM, delivering consistent torque and precision cutting performance. The swing over the cross slide measures 19.6 inches, allowing effective machining near the carriage. Constructed entirely of cast iron, the lathe ensures maximum durability and vibration dampening for precision work. The 234" x 48" x 67" footprint and 10,100 lbs weight underline its industrial scale and stability during heavy-duty operations. Key features include a quick-change gearbox enabling cutting of American, metric, module, and diametrical pitch threads with ease. The headstock is cross-ribbed and includes a clutch mechanism for smooth engagement. Hardened and ground alloy steel gears, shafts, and splines enhance longevity and precision. Hardened, precision-ground bedways maintain alignment and reduce wear. It also offers a rapid four-way joystick traverse on the carriage, a two-speed tailstock, and various included accessories such as steady rests, a follow rest, coolant system, taper attachment, work light, full-length splash guard, and a 3-jaw chuck. These qualities make the SUMMIT 28-4x160 ideally suited for heavy, precision turning tasks in demanding industrial environments.
