The WEBB 17"GX59" manual lathe features a robust design with a 17-1/8 inch swing over the bed and an extended 25-9/16 inch swing in the removable gap, enabling versatility for larger workpieces. It offers a 59-inch distance between centers and a spindle hole diameter of 2-3/64 inches, accommodating substantial stock sizes. The spindle nose conforms to ASA A1-6 standards, and the lathe’s wide 13-3/4 inch bed ensures solid support and stability during operation. The spindle speed ranges from 32 to 1800 RPM, providing a broad spectrum for various turning operations. Feed rates are adjustable, with longitudinal feeds from 0.0018 to 0.0247 inches per revolution (IPR) and cross feeds from 0.00156 to 0.011 IPR, enabling precise control over cuts. Threading capabilities include an English range of 4 to 80 threads per inch (TPI) and a metric range of 0.25 to 7 mm, suitable for diverse fabrication needs. The tailstock allows for 6 inches of spindle travel and accepts a #4 Morse taper (MT) for tooling. Powered by a 5-horsepower motor compatible with 220/440 volts in 3-phase configurations, this lathe is a powerful machine for demanding manual machining tasks. Weighing approximately 5,000 pounds, this lathe balances mass and precision for heavy-duty engineering applications, maintenance, and tooling operations.
