Its spindle bore measures 6.09 inches, providing ample capacity for long tooling and bar stocks. Constructed primarily from heavy-duty cast iron, it ensures rigidity and vibration dampening for superior accuracy and durability in demanding machining environments. This lathe typically includes hardened and precision-ground bedways for smooth, precise carriage movement, and a quick-change gearbox capable of cutting standard American (inch) threads as well as metric and module pitches. The machine is designed with user-friendly manual controls, offering reliable operation for heavy-duty turning tasks. Standard accessories often accompany this model, such as a thread dial, steady rest, follow rest, coolant system, taper attachment, and work light to support versatile and efficient operation. The spindle, designed for strength and precision, accommodates large chucks suitable for heavy work. This model represents a balance between large swing capacity and moderate center distance, ideal for machining sizable shafts, rolls, and other large cylindrical components. Its build quality and specification align with Summit's reputation for ruggedness, reliability, and long-term serviceability in industrial settings requiring precision manual turning.
