WEISS MACHINERY WM410A MANUAL LATHES

Technical Description

The Weiss Machinery WM410A is a precision engine lathe designed for general-purpose turning operations and thread cutting applications. Featuring an induction-hardened, precision-ground V-way bed, this machine delivers exceptional rigidity and accuracy for consistent workpiece results. The lathe accommodates workpieces with a swing capacity of 16.14 inches over the bed and 9.84 inches over the cross slide, with a center distance of 59.06 inches, making it suitable for medium-sized components. The spindle assembly utilizes a D1-5 chuck mounting system with a generous 3.15-inch spindle bore, enabling versatile tooling configurations and larger workpiece diameters. The spindle is supported by precision tapered roller bearings, ensuring smooth operation and extended service life. The headstock incorporates hardened, precision-ground gears that provide reliable power transmission for consistent cutting performance across multiple speed ranges. A universal gearbox system enables the production of inch, metric, diametral, and module pitch threads without requiring gear changes, enhancing operational flexibility. Adjustable gibs on the slideways permit fine-tuning of cutting tool clearances for optimal precision. The integrated cast iron construction provides excellent vibration damping and thermal stability during extended machining operations. The WM410A represents a robust mid-sized lathe suitable for tool and die shops, educational institutions, and general manufacturing environments requiring reliable, repeatable turning and threading capabilities with moderate workpiece dimensions.
