WEISS MACHINERY WL2000D MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The WEISS MACHINERY WL2000D is a heavy-duty manual lathe engineered for large-scale machining tasks. It features an impressive **swing of 78.74 inches** and a maximum workpiece length between centers of **629.92 inches**, enabling it to handle exceptionally large and long parts. The lathe is equipped with a **spindle bore diameter of 3.35 inches** (approximately 85 mm), supporting substantial bar stock sizes. Its **swing over the cross slide measures 64.96 inches**, allowing for versatile machining capacity over the carriage. The spindle is supported by a two-support structure and driven by a direct current motor, providing a stepless speed regulation range between approximately 0.8 to 160 RPM, which is optimal for various cutting tool applications including high-speed steel and hard alloy steel tools. The bed adopts a rectangular three-guide way design with hardened and precision-ground V-ways, ensuring robust stability and accuracy during heavy-duty turning operations. Precision tapered roller bearings support the spindle to maintain alignment and reduce vibration. Additional features include an adjustable gib system for slideways, a geared headstock for quick speed changes, and a separate oil pump for continuous lubrication, which enhances durability and performance under demanding conditions. This lathe is suitable for industries requiring machining of large components such as shafts, cylinders, and heavy equipment parts.
