WAGNER BANK 710 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The WAGNER BANK 710 is a heavy-duty manual engine lathe engineered for large-scale industrial machining operations. With a maximum swing over bed of 147 inches (3,740 mm) and a turning length of 866 inches (22,000 mm), this machine accommodates exceptionally large workpieces up to 150 tons, or 200 tons with support. The spindle bore measures 11.8 inches (300 mm), enabling versatile workholding and through-spindle operations. The lathe features manual control with a robust three-tool post configuration and six steady supports, providing precision for complex turning operations. Its variable speed system offers four distinct speed ranges, from 0.1 to 40 rpm, allowing operators to optimize cutting parameters for diverse materials and applications. Originally manufactured in 1961 and mechanically retrofitted in 2004, the WAGNER BANK 710 demonstrates exceptional longevity and reliability in demanding environments. The machine is specifically designed for marine applications including propeller shafts and dredging cutters, power plant turbine maintenance, GRP pipe industry operations, cement and ready-mix drum production, and general heavy engineering work. The wide bed design and substantial spindle bore make this lathe ideal for precision work on large-diameter components requiring tight tolerances. Its manual operation combined with advanced steady-rest capabilities ensures superior workpiece stability and surface finish quality, making it a valued asset in foundries, shipyards, and heavy industrial manufacturing facilities worldwide.
