SUPERTEC 44240 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The SUPERTEC 44240 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe engineered for precision turning operations in industrial metalworking environments. This machine features a substantial 44-inch swing capacity, enabling the machining of large-diameter workpieces with considerable rotational clearance. The extended 240-inch distance between centers accommodates lengthy workpieces, making it ideal for shaft manufacturing, spindle production, and extended cylindrical components. The lathe is equipped with a 6-inch spindle bore, providing ample capacity for mounting chucks, faceplate adapters, and various work-holding devices. This specification ensures compatibility with standard tooling systems while maintaining rigidity during demanding cutting operations. The manual operation configuration grants operators direct control over spindle speed, feed rates, and tool positioning, offering flexibility for custom jobs and specialized machining requirements. Built with robust cast iron construction, the SUPERTEC 44240 delivers exceptional stability and vibration damping characteristics essential for maintaining tight tolerances on precision work. The machine's substantial footprint and weight distribution provide the thermal stability necessary for consistent dimensional accuracy across extended production runs. This lathe is manufactured in Taiwan, reflecting established precision-engineering standards in Asian machine tool production. The 44240 model represents an excellent choice for job shops, contract manufacturers, and production facilities requiring versatile manual lathe capabilities for medium to large workpiece processing. Its combination of generous swing and center distance, coupled with the substantial spindle bore, positions it as a workhorse machine for comprehensive turning operations spanning rough stock removal to precision finishing work.
