Technical Description

The Sunmaster ERL-1340 Manual Lathe is a high-precision, heavy-duty engine lathe designed for demanding metalworking applications. It features a 13.5-inch swing over the bed and a 39.4-inch distance between centers, providing ample capacity for a wide range of workpieces. The lathe offers a 1.6-inch spindle bore, allowing for the passage of larger stock, and is powered by a robust 2.5 HP motor, delivering reliable performance for both light and heavy cutting operations. The spindle speed ranges up to 2,000 RPM, ensuring versatility for various materials and machining requirements. The swing over the cross slide is 8.1 inches, facilitating efficient turning of larger diameters. The machine’s bed ways are hardened and ground to a minimum of HS-70, ensuring durability and accuracy, while the wider bed way design enhances vibration absorption for smoother operation. All castings are properly stabilized and stress-relieved for long-term stability. The headstock features a vibration-absorbent, deflection-free housing with hardened and precision-ground gears for quiet, efficient power transmission. The universal gearbox supports a broad range of inch, metric, M.P., and D.P. threads without the need for gear changes. The apron includes integrated automatic controls for longitudinal and cross feeds, with forward and reverse capabilities. Safety features include nylon safety gears in the end train and a shear pin in the leadscrew. The lathe is equipped with a built-in coolant pump, foot brake pedal, and one-shot lubrication system for the carriage and top slide. Standard accessories include a backplate for a 7-inch chuck, dead centers, spindle center sleeve, level pads, tool set, and comprehensive operation manual.
