Heavy Duty Manual Engine Lathes

Vanguard CW series heavy duty engine lathes are characterized by their powerful motors and high rigidity, making them exceptional values for heavy turning operations. They are constructed of high quality Meehanite castings throughout. All bedways are induction hardened and precision ground on CNC way grinding machines. The saddle guideways are coated with TSF wear-resistant material, providing smooth and efficient movement. The spindles are forged steel and are supported by precision NSK bearings. The headstock features hardened and ground steel gears lubricated by an automatic force lubrication system. The CW series of heavy duty engine lathes come in bed lengths to handle workpieces from 29" up to 590". These engine lathes are engineered and manufactured for precision and maximum performance with standard features normally found as options on higher priced machines.
