Technical Description

The Whacheon HL-630 manual lathe is a robust engine lathe designed for precision heavy-duty turning operations. It features a 24.8-inch swing over bed and a 16-inch swing over the cross slide, accommodating large workpieces with a center-to-center distance of 120 inches. The lathe’s spindle has a 3-inch bore (3.03 inches nominal), supporting workpieces up to this diameter with an MT #7 taper bore and an MT #5 taper center. Powered by a 15-horsepower motor, it operates at speeds reaching up to 1,205 RPM across 12 spindle speed options, ideal for a variety of machining tasks. The carriage offers 40 feed change steps with longitudinal and cross feeds adjustable between approximately 0.0015 to 0.0228 inches per revolution. Cross slide travel measures about 15.35 inches, and the compound rest travels 6.69 inches, enabling versatile tooling and threading functions supporting inch, metric, and D.P. threads. The lathe bed is 20 inches wide, ensuring stability and rigidity during operation. The machine’s dimensions are approximately 179 inches in length and 47 inches in width, with a weight of around 7,700 pounds, reflecting its solid industrial build. Its construction and capacity make it well-suited for manufacturing environments requiring precision metal turning on large components.
