Technical Description
The Summit Big Swing 52x120 Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty precision machine designed for demanding turning applications. With a 52-inch swing over the bed and a 120-inch center distance, it accommodates large workpieces with ease. The lathe features a robust 6.09-inch spindle bore, enabling the machining of long, oversized, or hollow components. Constructed with a fully ribbed, closed-grain cast iron bed that is induction hardened and precision ground, the machine ensures exceptional rigidity, vibration damping, and long-term accuracy. The dynamically balanced, anti-friction mounted shafts and forged chrome alloy spindle deliver smooth operation and extended service life. The clutched headstock provides reliable power transmission and quick stopping, while the quick-change gearbox supports American (inch), metric, and module thread cutting for versatile threading capabilities. Rapid traverse on the carriage, controlled by a 4-way joystick, enhances productivity during setup and positioning. The lathe includes a 2-speed tailstock, thread dial, steady rest, follow rest, taper attachment, coolant system, work light, full-length splash guard, and both 3- and 4-jaw chucks as standard accessories. Designed for both manual and precision work, the Summit Big Swing 52x120 Manual Lathe combines durability, accuracy, and a comprehensive feature set, making it ideal for heavy industrial environments and shops requiring high-capacity turning performance.
