SUMMIT MACHINE TOOL LLC EURO HOLLOW SPINDLE OIL COUNTRY METAL LATHES HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Summit Machine Tool LLC Euro Hollow Spindle Oil Country Metal Lathes represent a precision horizontal machining solution engineered for demanding oil country applications. This series features a maximum main spindle swing of 39.5 inches, accommodating substantial workpieces while maintaining rigidity and accuracy. The single main spindle operates at speeds up to 460 RPM with 30 horsepower, delivering consistent cutting performance across a wide range of operations. The machine is available in center distances from 60" to 240" with spindle bores ranging from 10.2" to 14.1", providing versatility for diverse workpiece geometries. The headstock incorporates straight-cut final drive gears designed for quiet, efficient operation throughout the full spindle speed range. The construction utilizes heavily ribbed, high-grade alloyed cast iron castings that are normalized and aged to maximize stability and vibration dampening. The precision-ground bed ways measure 22 inches wide, with a third supporting way on the front bed to prevent deflection during heavy cutting operations. A quick-change gearbox enables seamless selection of inch, metric, and module threading in various sizes. The huge forged spindles are mounted in precision angular contact bearings to manage both axial and radial loads effectively. With manual operation and two-axis capability, the machine supports one simultaneous cutting tool, making it ideal for specialized oil country turning applications requiring reliability and precision in hostile machining environments.
