ZMM C 13 SH MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ZMM C 13 SH manual lathe is a robust heavy-duty machine designed for versatile turning applications. It features a **swing capacity of 39.0 inches** (approximately 1000 mm) allowing for machining of large diameter workpieces up to this size over the bed. The lathe supports a **distance between centers of 59.0 inches** (approximately 1500 mm), accommodating elongated parts for precision turning. Its **spindle bore diameter is 6.0 inches** (about 155 mm), enabling the machining of workpieces with substantial bar stock diameters. The lathe typically offers multiple spindle speeds, often with several gearing steps or continuously adjustable settings, to optimize cutting conditions for different materials and operations. It is manually operated, providing fine control for detailed machining tasks, while some models incorporate digital readouts for enhanced accuracy of positioning along two axes. The construction is designed for rigidity and stability, suitable for heavy cuts and high-torque conditions common in industrial workshops. Standard accessories typically include a three- or four-jaw chuck and tailstock, supporting a range of workholding and machining setups. Overall, the ZMM C 13 SH is characterized by its substantial swing, long center distance, and wide spindle bore, making it suitable for turning large and heavy components in metalworking environments where manual control and durability are essential. This machine is well-regarded for its balance of capacity and precision in manual lathe applications.
