WHACHEON HL720 MANUAL LATHE

The Whacheon HL-720 is a precision manual lathe engineered for versatile machining applications requiring high accuracy and repeatability. This heavy-duty machine features a 28.34-inch swing over bed with 118.11 inches between centers, accommodating extended workpieces up to 118 inches in length. The spindle, equipped with an A-8 nose and MT No. 7 taper bore with 3.03-inch diameter, operates across 12 speeds ranging from 27 to 1,205 RPM, enabling optimal cutting parameters for diverse materials and operations. The carriage system provides exceptional control with 40 feed steps, delivering longitudinal feeds from 0.0015" to 0.0216" per revolution and cross feeds from 0.0016" to 0.0228" per revolution. The machine accommodates multiple threading standards including inch threads (56 to 2 TPI), metric threads (0.0196" to 0.55"), and diametral pitch threads (1 to 7 MP). Cross slide travel measures 13.35 inches, while the compound rest provides 6.69 inches of travel for angled machining operations. The substantial 15 HP main spindle motor delivers consistent performance, supported by a 0.13 HP coolant pump system with 200-gallon capacity for extended operations. The rigid bed measures 20.07 inches wide and 175.27 inches long, providing stable support for precision work. Standard equipment includes Sony 2-axis digital readout, 15-inch chuck, halogen work lamp, and chip management systems. Weighing 10,185 pounds with overall dimensions of 186.22" × 60.78" × 57.75", the HL-720 combines precision engineering with industrial durability.
