WEISS MACHINERY WM1200C MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The WEISS MACHINERY WM1200C manual lathe features a robust design suitable for heavy-duty machining tasks. It offers a maximum swing of 47.24 inches, allowing it to accommodate large diameter workpieces. The distance between centers extends to an impressive 472.44 inches, providing capacity for long parts. The spindle bore measures 4.13 inches, enabling the passage of sizable tooling or stock. The swing over the cross slide is 26.97 inches, supporting substantial cross-slide operations with stability. This lathe is engineered with precision-ground beds and durable components optimized for reliability and accuracy in metalworking applications. It supports a range of spindle speeds and feeds to enhance machining versatility, with the spindle supported by taper roller bearings for smooth rotation and minimal deflection. The machine is ideal for machining high-speed steel and hard alloy steel tools, with a strong, rigid structure that includes adjustable gibs on the slideways for fine adjustment and smooth operation. Its construction typically includes hardened V-ways on the bed and precision ground gears in the headstock to ensure long-term durability. With its large spindle bore and wide swing range, the WM1200C is designed to handle large-scale turning operations efficiently while maintaining high precision and stability throughout the machining process.
