WEISS MACHINERY WL1250E MANUAL LATHE

The WEISS MACHINERY WL1250E Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty engine lathe designed for precision turning and robust industrial applications. Featuring a swing of 49.21 inches (1250 mm) and a center distance of 472.44 inches (12,000 mm), this lathe provides exceptional capacity for large workpieces. The machine is built with an induction-hardened, precision-ground V-way bed, ensuring long-term accuracy and durability under demanding conditions. The spindle, equipped with a D1-5 taper and a large 51 mm bore, is supported by high-quality tapered roller bearings for smooth operation and high rigidity. Hardened and precision-ground gears in the headstock allow for quick and reliable speed changes, while the geared headstock design enhances versatility for various machining tasks. The lathe offers a wide range of spindle speeds and feeds, supporting both metric and imperial threading options. Adjustable gibs for the slideways ensure precise alignment and minimize wear, while the gap bed section accommodates larger diameter workpieces. The carriage-mounted spindle control lever enables convenient operation, and the tailstock provides reliable support for extended turning operations. The WL1250E is engineered for high stability and precision, making it suitable for high-speed steel and hard alloy steel cutting tools. Its robust construction, combined with features such as a high-precision directly mounting chuck and a solid cast iron bed, ensures consistent performance and accuracy in heavy-duty turning applications.
