SUNMASTER ERL-1340V MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Sunmaster ERL-1340V is a precision manual engine lathe engineered for versatile metalworking applications. This 13.5-inch swing machine features a robust construction with a 39.4-inch distance between centers, providing adequate capacity for medium-length workpieces. The 1.6-inch spindle bore accommodates standard tooling and work-holding devices, while the 8.1-inch swing over the cross slide enables efficient facing and turning operations on larger diameter stock. Powered by a 2.9 HP motor delivering up to 3,000 RPM, the lathe offers variable speed capability through its inverter-driven spindle, enabling optimal cutting speeds across diverse material types and tool configurations. The machine incorporates an all-gear-head transmission system with consistent surface speed functionality, facilitating better tool life and improved surface finishes. An oil-bathed lubrication system ensures reliable headstock operation and extended component longevity. Construction features include stress-relieved and stabilized castings paired with a hardened and ground cross slide for extended operational life. The lathe meets CE safety standards and includes a MT.3 tailstock taper with 112mm quill travel for precision center work. Standard equipment encompasses an adjustable carriage measuring 400mm in length with 180mm cross-slide travel and 100mm top-slide travel, accommodating various turning and facing operations. The machine supports multiple threading capabilities with 45 different Whitworth thread options ranging from 2 to 72 TPI, making it suitable for precision machining tasks. Optional accessories include 5C collet closers, splash guards with work lights, chuck guards, and leadscrew covers to enhance operational safety and convenience.
