TAKISAWA TAC-950/3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The TAKISAWA TAC-950/3000 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe engineered for precision machining of medium to large-sized and long workpieces. This machine features a 37.4-inch swing capacity over the bed, enabling operators to work with substantial diameter components. With a 132.7-inch center-to-center distance, the lathe accommodates extended workpieces, making it ideal for production environments requiring high-accuracy machining of elongated parts. The swing over cross slide measures 23.6 inches, providing excellent clearance for tool positioning and complex geometries. Powered by a robust 29.5 horsepower motor operating at a maximum of 850 RPM, the TAC-950/3000 delivers consistent cutting force suitable for demanding machining operations. The manual operation allows experienced machinists full control over cutting parameters and tool movements, facilitating adaptability to diverse workpiece requirements. As part of Takisawa's TAC series, this lathe incorporates precision engineering principles refined since 1963, ensuring reliable performance and superior production quality. The machine's substantial bed width and structural rigidity minimize vibration and deflection during cutting, contributing to tight dimensional tolerances and excellent surface finish quality. This lathe is particularly suited for job shops and manufacturing facilities specializing in prototype development, custom parts production, and batch manufacturing requiring flexibility and precision that manual operation provides.
