Used SOUTH BEND Turn nado #9229147 for sale

SOUTH BEND Turn nado is a machine tool designed for use in professional metalworking environments. The machine is a large vertical spindle lathe, and uses a motor-driven rotary table to feed stock material against a rotating cutting tool. This motion produces a complex range of turning operations, including facing, boring, contouring, drilling, tapping, threading, and more. The machine features a heavy-duty, cast-iron base and precision-ground, air-actuated slide-ways provide the table with smooth, consistent head-changes during production. This allows for a wide range of cutting operations to be carried out with ease and accuracy. Turn nado's main table can accommodate work pieces of diameters up to 94 inches and lengths up to 59 inches. A distance between centers of up to 78 inches is also possible, allowing for the machining of multiple pieces at the same time. Two standard spindle speeds are available; 3,000 rpm and 6,000 rpm, with a range of optional gears providing for precision cuts. A digital read-out displaying the RPM of the motor is also included. The machine also includes a hardened and ground, lead-screw drive with lubrication-free bearings for long life and efficient use. A power-driven, eight-speed power feed is available to handle larger work pieces more efficiently, and a 36-position clutch and brake drum for controlling the rotation of the spindle is also included. An automatic feed and stop device is standard, and there is a rapid traverse feature which allows for rapid movement of the table to the desired position. For added safety and convenience, SOUTH BEND Turn nado is fitted with a safety guard and panel interlock for protection against unauthorized use. Operator safety is also assured with an emergency stop button and keyed-type operating mechanism which prevents accidental manual operation. Overall, this machine is an excellent choice for those seeking a heavy-duty, large-diameter lathe that provides maximum stability and accuracy with a wide range of machining operations. With its user-friendly design, Turn nado provides operators with optimal control over their production process.
