WYJC GH-1236EVS MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The WYJC GH-1236EVS is a bench-mounted manual lathe engineered for precision turning, facing, and boring operations in toolroom and educational environments. With a 12.6-inch swing capacity and 35.4-inch center distance, this machine accommodates mid-range workpieces suitable for prototype development, short-run production, and training applications. The 1.5-inch spindle bore enables versatile workholding through standard chuck systems and collet arrangements, while the 7.7-inch swing over the cross slide provides adequate clearance for stepped diameters and complex geometries. The lathe features a cast-iron bed construction for vibration damping and thermal stability, housing a headstock with precision ball bearings to support the rotating spindle. Manual control via handwheels with graduated markings allows operators to achieve repeatable cuts with .001-inch accuracy through direct mechanical feedback. The tailstock, equipped with a Morse taper quill, facilitates drilling and reaming operations while supporting extended workpieces. An integrated lead screw enables thread-cutting capabilities for ISO metric and imperial profiles. This configuration prioritizes operator control and flexibility, making it ideal for job shops, educational institutions, and facilities requiring adaptable machining without CNC complexity. The moderate capacity balances bench portability with production capability, supporting steady and follow rests for thin-section work. Material removal rates depend on operator skill and feed selection, with spindle speed typically variable across a practical range for various ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
