TOS SU100/6M MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The TOS SU100/6M is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe engineered for industrial metalworking applications requiring precision turning and boring operations. This machine features a 42-inch swing over bed, enabling the machining of large-diameter workpieces, with an impressive 236.3-inch distance between centers accommodating extended workpieces for through-turning operations. The 4.0-inch spindle bore provides compatibility with standard tooling and work-holding devices, while the 29-inch swing over cross slide facilitates tool access and setup versatility for complex part geometries. Powered by a robust 30.0 horsepower motor driving a hydraulically-operated brake/clutch spindle system, the lathe delivers consistent performance across its operational range. The machine operates at spindle speeds up to 450 RPM, derived from a 25 kW motor with 27 selectable speed steps ranging from approximately 2.8 to 450 RPM, enabling optimal surface finishes across various materials and cutting conditions. The bed width of 800mm provides a solid, rigid foundation minimizing vibration during demanding cutting operations. Standard features include 36-inch and 54-inch faceplates with adjustable jaws, taper turning attachment, power feed to the top slide, and multiple steady rests (24-inch and 28-inch three-point steadies) for long workpiece support and stability. The SU100/6M represents a versatile production lathe suitable for both job shop and manufacturing environments requiring reliable, manual control of turning, boring, threading, and facing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
