Key Features of Medium Duty Lathe Machine

• Lathe Bed: The lathe bed is designed to the specifications which provide great strength to resist torsonal strains. It is made from closed grain alloy cast in iron to resist wear and maintain accuracy over a long period. The two inverted ` V ` and flat ways of the bed are accurately machined and ground maintaining parallelism throughout.
• Head Stock: The strongly constituted head stock is of friction and stream lined design. The spindle is made out of high tensile steel and precisely ground it runs on high preciously antifriction taper roller bearings. Drive belt from counter affixed for near side of head stock, provides smooth and quite operation for life time.
• Carriage: The carriage has large bearing surface minimizing the force per unit bearing area and hence wear on the bed ways. It is guided for high accuracy and positive alignment by the inverted ` V ` and flat ways. The wedges are provided to facilitate the adjustment to be made for compensation of wear.
• Apron: It is provided with safely inter-lock, which prevents simultaneous engagement of feed and threading mechanism. Both the sliding and surfacing feeds can be engaged by tightening the star knob and accordingly setting the position of the feed lever.
• Tail stock: The tail stock has long bearing on bed and base is adjustable for taper turning. A standard morse taper spindle hole allows the use of shrills with M.T.-3 shanks
