Some of the features which make
WHACHEON lathes leaders in value ...Number and range of speeds is designed to provide the most suitable cutting speed to any diameter workpiece, within the range of swing over bed.
The main spindle is supported at three points by precision bearings, and the spindle hole is generously sized. Automatic forced lubrication supplies lubricant to every slideway and drive mechanism in the headstock.
A lube pump inside the apron provides lubrication between carriage slideways and bedways.
Forward to reverse shifting is obtained by simple operation of levers on the face of the headstock and on the apron.
An adjustable carriage feed stop and a positive micrometer stop are provided on the bed.
The machine is equipped with an overload safety device for feed and thread cutting.
Hydraulic copying attachment, taper cutting attachment and rear tool post may be easily attached by means of carriage grooves on both sides.
Crossfeed screws are constantly immersed in lubricant to maintain smooth travel and maximum accuracy.
The bed is designed to prevent torsion. Sidewall is of double-wall and rib type.
Hardened and ground ways are made of high-tensile cast iron.
The lower portions of the bed casing are box-shaped and full-length, forming legs, chip pan and coolant reservoir.
The hydraulic foot brake provides quick, safe stopping without generating heat in the headstock.
Diameter of the tailstock shaft is 75mm, and the overall length is hardened and ground. By loosening the clamp lever, the rollers act to reduce friction resistance on the bed sliding surface to provide efficiency of sliding and better carriage wear resistance.
