ZMMBG CU 500MTRD X 4000 MANUAL LATHE

The ZMMBG CU 500MTRD X 4000 is a heavy-duty manual lathe designed for precision metalworking and production turning operations. This machine features a swing capacity of 19.69 inches, enabling the machining of larger diameter workpieces, while maintaining a substantial center distance of 157.48 inches to accommodate extended workpieces. The spindle bore of 4.06 inches allows for secure mounting of various cutting tools and work-holding devices. Powered by a robust 14.75 HP motor, the lathe operates at a maximum spindle speed of 1,400 RPM, providing adequate torque for demanding cutting operations across multiple materials. The cross slide travel capability of 11.81 inches permits precise radial positioning and tool control during facing and boring operations. The machine's rigid bed construction and mechanical drive system make it suitable for batch production and custom manufacturing environments where reliability and repeatability are essential. The manual operation provides operators with direct control over feed rates and cutting parameters, enabling skilled machinists to optimize performance for specific applications. This lathe configuration is particularly effective for turning, boring, facing, and threading operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials, making it a versatile addition to machine shops requiring substantial capacity with proven durability in industrial settings.
