SUMMIT MACHINE TOOL LLC 22" METAL LATHES HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Summit Machine Tool LLC 22" Metal Lathe is a precision-engineered horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty and accurate metal turning operations. It features a maximum swing diameter of 22 inches over the bed, allowing workpieces of substantial size to be machined. The lathe is powered by a robust 15 HP main spindle motor capable of reaching up to 1,250 RPM, ensuring sufficient torque and speed for a variety of materials and cutting conditions. Constructed entirely from cast iron with hardened and precision ground bedways, it offers exceptional rigidity and vibration dampening, leading to superior surface finishes and dimensional accuracy. The machine operates on two axes with the capacity for one simultaneous cutting tool, providing a focused precision cutting experience. Standard features include a quick-change gearbox facilitating the cutting of American (inch), metric, module, and diametrical pitch threads without gear changes. Its clutch headstock design enhances control during operation. Dimensions and weight support stable, vibration-resistant performance. The lathe incorporates advanced engineering innovations to deliver ease of operation, consistent precision, and the ability to handle heavy chip loads efficiently, making it suitable for machine shops requiring durable, accurate mid-size metal lathe solutions.
