TOOLMEX 463553 MANUAL LATHE

The TOOLMEX 463553 is a European-built manual lathe designed for general-purpose machining operations. This heavy-duty machine features a 25-inch swing over bed, enabling workpiece diameters up to that capacity, with a generous 60-inch distance between centers for extended workpieces. The spindle bore accommodates a 3.5-inch hole, providing substantial through-spindle capability for bar stock operations and reducing setup time. The lathe delivers full inch and metric threading capability, making it versatile for diverse production requirements and international standards compliance. With manual operation, the machine offers operators precise control over all functions, including spindle speed selection, feed rates, and tool positioning through the cross slide. The Z-axis rapid traverse rate of 315 IPM facilitates efficient positioning between cuts. This model typically incorporates hardened and ground bedways ensuring long-term accuracy and rigidity during machining cycles. The machine supports various workholding accessories including chucks and collets, with standard D1 camlock spindle nose compatibility for quick tool changes. Load capacity reaches approximately 4,600 to 6,600 pounds depending on configuration, accommodating substantial cutting forces inherent in production work. The longitudinal and cross feed ranges provide fine control for threading operations and precise dimensional work. Equipped with a tailstock featuring MT taper center compatibility, the lathe excels at turning, facing, boring, threading, and taper operations. This manual configuration suits shops valuing operator skill and machine simplicity.
