china lathe
The China lathe represents a versatile and cost-effective machining solution that has become increasingly prominent in modern manufacturing. This precision tool enables operators to perform various metalworking operations, including cutting, drilling, knurling, and threading with exceptional accuracy. The machine features a robust cast iron construction, providing stability during operation and reducing vibration for enhanced precision. Modern China lathes come equipped with digital readout systems, variable speed controls, and automatic feed mechanisms, ensuring consistent and precise results. These machines typically offer a swing over bed ranging from 330mm to 660mm, with distance between centers varying from 1000mm to 2000mm. The spindle system incorporates high-precision bearings that maintain accuracy even under heavy loads, while the tailstock can be adjusted for precise alignment and taper turning. The gear transmission system provides multiple speed options, typically ranging from 45 to 1800 RPM, allowing operators to select the optimal cutting speed for different materials and operations. These lathes also feature comprehensive safety systems, including emergency stop buttons and splash guards, ensuring operator protection without compromising accessibility.
