Engineered for Precision and DurabilityConstructed with a hardened, ground bed and a robust cast iron body, the Chester England 850 mm Tool Room Lathe Machine is built to provide stability and long-term durability. The double-walled apron and powder-coated finish ensure the lathe withstands daily industrial use, while the centralized lubrication system keeps all moving parts performing smoothly and reduces maintenance costs.
Versatile Machining CapabilitiesThis tool room lathe accommodates a range of machining tasks thanks to its 850 mm distance between centers, 200 mm chuck, and the ability to cut both metric threads (0.57 mm) and inch threads (228 TPI). The 750 mm carriage travel and tailstock quill travel of 120 mm allow users to work with a variety of workpiece lengths, supporting both large and small projects efficiently.
Reliable and Efficient OperationEquipped with eight spindle speeds ranging from 25 to 1600 RPM, this machine offers flexible cutting speeds for different materials and operations. The fitted coolant system and centralized lubrication enhance operational efficiency, while the 1.5 kW (2 HP) main motor delivers consistent power for even the most demanding machining jobs.
FAQs of Chester England 850 mm Tool Room Lathe Machine:
Q: How does the Chester England 850 mm Tool Room Lathe Machine support high-precision work?
A: The lathe features a hardened and ground bed, precision-geared headstock, and a double-walled apron, providing rigid support and smooth movement. This construction ensures high accuracy during machining, making it suitable for precise tool room applications.
Q: What materials can this lathe accommodate, and what is the maximum cutting thickness?
A: This tool room lathe can handle a wide variety of metals, and the cutting thickness is up to 15 mm, depending on the specific material being machined. The cast iron body and robust construction make it capable of consistent, reliable cutting operations.
Q: When should the centralized lubrication system be maintained?
A: Regular maintenance of the centralized lubrication system is essential to keep all moving parts well-oiled. It is recommended to check the lubrication levels daily before use and refill or replace lubricants as specified in the user manual for optimal performance.
Q: Where is this lathe machine best suited for installation?
A: The Chester England 850 mm Tool Room Lathe is ideal for tool rooms, workshops, and manufacturing units requiring precision turning. Its dimensions (1850 mm x 800 mm x 1300 mm) and 1200 kg weight make it suitable for spacious industrial settings with a stable, reinforced floor.
Q: What is the process for changing spindle speeds on this lathe?
A: The eight-speed range is selected manually through the geared headstock mechanism. Operators can easily shift between speeds (251600 RPM) using the machines control levers, ensuring optimal cutting speed for different machining tasks.
Q: How does the coolant system contribute to machine performance?
A: The fitted coolant system ensures efficient heat dissipation while machining, which helps maintain cutting tool life and prevents workpiece distortion from heat build-up, thereby improving the overall precision and surface finish of machined parts.
Q: What benefits does the semi-automatic operation and manual control offer?
A: Semi-automatic operation streamlines repetitive tasks, while manual controls provide flexibility for custom operations. This combination allows both experienced machinists and apprentices to achieve precise results, adapting easily to diverse machining needs.
