U.S. INDUSTRIAL US 47240CZ MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The U.S. INDUSTRIAL US 47240CZ is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe designed for precision turning and machining operations. This machine features a substantial swing capacity of 47.0 inches over the bed, enabling the processing of large-diameter workpieces. The extended center distance of 240.0 inches accommodates lengthy workpieces, making it ideal for extended shaft and cylindrical component manufacturing. The spindle bore measures 4.13 inches, providing adequate clearance for shaft insertion and through-spindle operations. Operating at a maximum speed of 750 RPM, this lathe is configured for controlled, deliberate cuts suitable for heavy stock removal and precision work on cast iron and steel materials. The swing over the cross slide is limited to 35.6 inches, a critical dimension for determining the maximum workpiece diameter that can be machined when using the cross slide for radial operations. As a manual machine, the US 47240CZ requires skilled operator control for all movements and feed rates, offering flexibility in machining operations while demanding expertise in lathe operation. This industrial-class lathe is constructed for durability and longevity in production environments, workshop settings, and tool rooms where robust, reliable performance is essential. The combination of substantial swing, extended center capacity, and manual operation makes this lathe particularly suitable for job shops, manufacturing facilities, and heavy equipment maintenance operations requiring versatile turning capabilities on large workpieces.
