WEISS MACHINERY WM240V MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The Warco WM240 is a heavy-duty bench lathe engineered for precision metalworking and hobby machining applications. This variable-speed machine features a 240mm maximum swing diameter and a 400mm distance between centers, accommodating substantial workpieces for turning, threading, and facing operations. The lathe employs a 3MT spindle taper with a 21mm bore, paired with a 2MT tailstock, providing reliable tool mounting and workholding capability. Powered by a robust 1.1kW (1100W) single-phase motor operating at 240V, the machine delivers consistent performance across its operational range. The spindle speed is infinitely variable, ranging from 30 to 1150 rpm in one configuration or offering fixed speeds of 125, 210, 420, 620, 1000, and 2000 rpm in the WM240B model variant. This flexibility enables optimal cutting speeds for diverse materials and operations. The compound toolpost features 360-degree swivel capability with a 12mm maximum tool size capacity, supporting precise taper turning and threading. Threading capabilities span 0.4 to 3mm in metric and 10 to 44 tpi in imperial measurements. The machine incorporates taper roller bearings in the headstock for longevity and accuracy. With longitudinal, cross-slide, and top-slide travels of 350mm, 85mm, and 75mm respectively, the lathe offers sufficient traverse for complex workpiece geometry. Weighing 110kg with compact dimensions of 1066 x 585 x 470mm, it suits workshop and educational environments.
