TAKISAWA TAL-600/3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The TAKISAWA TAL-600/3000 is a precision manual lathe designed for general-purpose turning operations in job shops and production environments. This machine features a maximum swing of 23.62 inches over the bed ways, allowing workpieces of substantial diameter to be accommodated. The turning length capacity reaches 3,000mm (118.11 inches between centers), making it suitable for extended cylindrical work. With a swing over the cross slide of 14.96 inches, the lathe provides adequate clearance for tool access and workpiece manipulation during machining operations. The machine is equipped with a 7.5kW spindle motor producing 10.06 horsepower, delivering sufficient cutting force for steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials. The spindle speed range extends from 25 to 1,500 RPM with 12 discrete speed changes, enabling optimal surface speeds across various material types and cutting conditions. The lathe bed ways are supersonic frequency precision ground, ensuring superior surface finish and dimensional accuracy throughout the machine's service life. As a manual lathe, the TAL-600/3000 requires operator skill and control for all positioning and feed functions, offering excellent versatility for custom and prototype work. The rigid construction and proven Takisawa design make this machine ideal for experienced machinists requiring reliable production performance with dimensional repeatability and durability for diverse turning applications.
