WEISS MACHINERY WL1860S MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The WEISS MACHINERY WL1860S Manual Lathe is a heavy-duty precision machine designed for large and demanding turning operations. It features a substantial swing capacity of 73.23 inches, allowing large workpieces to be machined efficiently, with a maximum centers length of 472.44 inches accommodating very long stock. The swing over the cross slide measures 53.54 inches, providing ample flexibility for various diameter parts. The lathe bed uses an induction-hardened, precision-ground V-way design, ensuring rigidity and accuracy during heavy cuts. The spindle incorporates a large MT5 taper bore supported by precision tapered roller bearings, enhancing stability and reducing vibration to maintain close tolerances. The headstock is equipped with hardened, precision-ground gears enabling quick speed changes and a range of spindle speeds suited for diverse machining applications. Adjustable gibs on the slideways provide precise movement control, while the gear head and feed mechanisms facilitate threading and longitudinal power feed function. This lathe’s direct current motor offers stepless speed regulation to optimize cutting conditions. Overall, the WL1860S is engineered for durable, high-precision turning of large components across metalworking industries requiring robust tooling and exceptional accuracy.
