VANTAGE BN-70 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Vantage BN-70 is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for precision turning operations on large-diameter workpieces. Featuring a robust 70-inch swing over bed, this machine accommodates substantial components while maintaining rigid spindle support through precision angular contact roller bearings. The extended 480-inch center distance provides exceptional capacity for long shaft and cylindrical work, making it ideal for heavy industrial applications. The machine delivers 45 horsepower through its AC spindle motor, enabling consistent cutting performance across varying material types and cutting conditions. With a 53-inch swing over cross slide, the lathe ensures clearance for tool positioning and workholding flexibility. The spindle incorporates a large bore design facilitating through-spindle operations and bar feeding capabilities. The BN-70 utilizes an MT #6 tailstock taper with 200mm traverse capability, providing positive workpiece support and extended tool reach. The 18-step manual spindle speed control offers operators precise adjustment of cutting speeds across multiple ranges, optimizing performance for diverse machining requirements. The machine's massive construction provides the rigidity necessary for sustained heavy-duty turning while maintaining dimensional accuracy. Ground precision guideways on the X and Z axes ensure superior positioning repeatability and surface finish quality. This configuration makes the Vantage BN-70 particularly suited for shops requiring high-capacity turning of large industrial components, with emphasis on reliability and consistent performance in demanding production environments.
