Baileigh Industrial 16" x 40" Precision Metal Lathe, Mitutoyo DRO (PL-1640)

Industrial Construction: The Baileigh PL-1640 Precision Lathe is engineered for mid-to-large workpieces with a heavy cast iron base integrated into the main frame to minimize vibration and maintain rigidity under load.
Precision & Performance: Equipped with a robust 7.5 HP, 220 V 3-phase motor and a geared head design offering multiple spindle speeds from 30 to 2000 RPM, this lathe delivers consistent power and smooth torque across turning, facing, threading, and contouring operations.
Shop Versatility: Built with precision-ground and hardened ways and a factory-installed Mitutoyo digital readout (DRO), the PL-1640 supports accurate, repeatable cuts and expanded capabilities, making it ideal for production shops, tool rooms, and maintenance departments requiring precision and long-term reliability.

Features:

• Swing Over Bed: This lathe provides a 16" swing over the bed for larger diameter workpieces.
  
• Between Centers: This machine features 40" between centers for long workpiece machining.
  
• Motor Power: A 7.5 HP motor supplies industrial-grade power to the geared head.
  
• Power Requirement: The lathe operates on 220 V 3-phase shop power.
  
• Spindle Speeds: A multi-step geared head delivers a spindle speed range from 30 to 2000 RPM for versatile cutting.
  
• Digital Readout: Factory-installed Mitutoyo digital readout (DRO) on X and Y axes enhances precision and repeatability.
  
• Spindle Bore: This lathe features a 2.0625" spindle bore to support larger bar stock.
  
• Spindle Taper: The spindle uses Morse #4 taper with a Morse #6 nose for broad tooling compatibility.
  
• Construction: Rigid cast iron base and precision-ground ways provide stability and long-term accuracy.
