ZMMBG CU 325 X 500 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ZMMBG CU 325 x 500 Manual Lathe is a versatile machine tool designed for precision turning, facing, and boring operations. It features a **12.8-inch swing**, allowing workpieces of this diameter to rotate freely over the bed. The **distance between centers is 19.7 inches**, accommodating medium-length workpieces for various machining tasks. The spindle bore diameter is **1.3 inches**, enabling bar stock feeding through the spindle for continuous turning processes. Powered by a **2.9 HP motor**, this lathe reaches a spindle speed of up to **2,000 RPM**, providing adequate throughput for moderate machining operations. The **swing over the cross slide is 7.5 inches**, defining the maximum component diameter that can pass over the cross slide for precision cuts. The lathe incorporates standard manual controls for spindle rotation and tool positioning, offering operator-dependent accuracy suitable for prototyping, repair work, and small to medium production runs. It likely includes essential features such as a robust cast iron bed for stability, a carriage with apron for tool movement, a tailstock for supporting long workpieces or drilling, and compatible tool posts for cutting tool mounting. This machine is ideal for users prioritizing flexibility and manual operation with a balance of capacity, power, and workspace suitable for engine lathe applications.
