The Summit Big Swing 35x240 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty precision engine lathe designed for demanding turning applications. Featuring a 35-inch swing over the bed and a 240-inch center distance, this lathe provides exceptional capacity for large workpieces. The spindle bore measures 6.09 inches, allowing for the machining of long, large-diameter stock. Constructed with a fully ribbed, closed grain cast iron bed that is 27.5 inches wide, the lathe delivers superior rigidity and vibration damping for high accuracy and surface finish. The bedways are induction hardened and precision ground, ensuring long-term durability and smooth operation. The clutched headstock houses a forged chrome alloy spindle mounted in three precision bearings, dynamically balanced for smooth running at all speeds. The lathe is equipped with a quick-change gearbox capable of cutting American (inch), metric, and module threads, as well as rapid traverse on the carriage controlled by a 4-way joystick for efficient tool positioning. Standard features include a two-speed tailstock, thread dial, steady rest, follow rest, taper attachment, coolant system, work light, full-length splash guard, and both 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks. The lathe is available in both stepped speed and variable speed configurations, with a wide range of spindle speeds to suit various materials and operations. Engineered for reliability and versatility, the Summit Big Swing 35x240 Manual Lathe is ideal for heavy industrial environments requiring high-capacity turning with precision and ease of use.
