ZMMBG CU 500MT X 3000 MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The ZMMBG CU 500MT X 3000 is a heavy-duty engine lathe manufactured by ZMM Bulgaria, designed for precision turning and machining operations. This manual lathe features a robust swing capacity of 19.69 inches, enabling machining of larger diameter workpieces. With center-to-center length of 118.11 inches, the machine accommodates extended parts requiring substantial through-cutting capabilities. The spindle bore diameter of 4.06 inches provides adequate clearance for various tooling and arbor configurations. The lathe operates at a maximum spindle speed of 1,400 RPM, delivering 10.06 horsepower for demanding cutting applications. The swing over cross slide measures 11.81 inches, limiting the maximum workpiece diameter above the cross slide assembly. This configuration makes the CU 500MT X 3000 suitable for medium to large-scale production work, prototype development, and general job shop applications where versatility and power are essential. The manual operation provides machinists with direct control over all cutting parameters, allowing for precision work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The substantial power output and rigid construction ensure consistent performance across varied machining tasks, from roughing to finishing operations.
