Technical Description

The Tarnow 22" x 118" manual lathe is a heavy-duty engine lathe designed for precision turning applications. It features a maximum swing over the table of 22.00 inches, allowing workpieces up to that diameter to be machined. The lathe accommodates a maximum bar capacity of 3.3 inches and has a spindle bore diameter of 3.5 inches, enabling the passage of stock material through the headstock for extended turning length. The total turning length supported by the machine is 118 inches, providing ample capacity for large or long workpieces. This model includes 18 spindle speeds, typically ranging from 20 to 1600 RPM, optimizing cutting conditions for various materials and operations. Its robust build ensures durability and reliable performance in heavy machining environments. Standard features usually encompass a range of threading capabilities in both inch and metric units via a quick-change gearbox, tailstock with Morse taper, steady rest, and versatile tooling attachments. The lathe operates on a powerful spindle drive motor, commonly around 15 HP, and supports a variety of chucks and accessories for flexibility. Designed for manual operation, it is suited for workshops requiring precise, hands-on control over machining processes, especially for large and heavy workpieces requiring extended center distances near 10 feet. Overall, the Tarnow 22" x 118" lathe combines capacity, power, and fine control, making it suitable for advanced industrial metal turning tasks.
