PL2000 Lathe

PL2000 Lathe

Plenty of power in a compact package. Gets the job done with just 7 inches (177.8 mm) of radial clearance. Its simplified mounting, bolted directly to the end of the shaft, speeds setup and reduces costly downtime for work on shaft diameters from 1.5 to 9 inches (38.1 to 228.6 mm).

Features & Benefits:

Compact, powerful, precise

  • The 0.6 Hp (0.45 kW) electric motor and 5.5:1 gear reduction provides plenty of torque. A 1.22 Hp (0.91 kW) pneumatic motor is also available.
  • Tool reach up to 12.5 inches (317.5 mm) from end of shaft.
  • Criterion style tool head provides accurate depth adjustments in 0.001 inch (0.0254 mm) increments.
  • Turns shafts from 1.5 – 9.0 inches (38.1 – 228.6 mm) in diameter. This compact machine is able to work within a 14 inch (355.6 mm) diameter swing clearance at the end of the shaft.
  • Automatic axial feed is infinitely variable from 0 – 0.35 inches/rev. (0 – 8.89 mm/rev.).
  • Adjustable tool head and round tool bits allow quick tool positioning for accurate turning.

Quick and easy setup

  • Mounts on the end of the shaft. Simply remove the gear or bearing to expose the end of the shaft.
  • The PL2000 can be set up by an experienced operator in less than an hour. Drill and tap four mounting holes on the end of the shaft to attach the mounting flange. (Shafts less than 3.75 inches (95.3 mm) in diameter only need one hole drilled and tapped for the single bolt mounting adapter.) The body of the machine is attached, centered, and aligned in a few minutes.

PL3000 Lathe

PL3000 Lathe

Re-turns large shafts and roll journals by mounting directly to the work piece and rotating around the shaft. Ruggedly dependable, accurate and powerful, it can eliminate hours of equipment dismantling. Designed for shaft diameters from 4 to 11.25 inches (101.6 to 285.8 mm).

Features & Benefits:

Heavy duty, powerful, precise

  • Heavy solid steel turning bar and counterbalanced body provide smooth turning and minimum chatter, even with the turning bar at maximum reach.
  • The motor and planetary ring gear drive provide enough torque to remove up to 0.125 inch (3.175 mm) of metal so you can get the job done fast.
  • A 3.08 Hp (2.3 kW) electric motor and a 1.22 Hp (0.91 kW) pneumatic motor is available.
  • Tool reach is 16.0 inches (406.4 mm) from end of shaft, and up to 22.0 inches (558.8 mm) with optional turning bar extension.
  • Turns shafts from 4.0 – 11 inches (101.6 – 279.4 mm). (This machine works within a 16.75 inch (425.5mm) diameter space around the shaft (swing diameter), and 36 inches (914.4 mm) from the end of the shaft.)
  • Automatic axial feed is variable from 0.003 – 0.011 inches/rev. (0.076 – 0.279 mm/rev.) in 7 increments.

Quick and easy setup

  • Mounts on the end of the shaft. Simply remove the gear or bearing to expose the end of the shaft.
  • The PL3000 can be set up by an experienced operator in less than an hour. Drill and tap four mounting holes on the end of the shaft to attach the tapered mounting flange.
  • Adjusting screws allow accurate centering and alignment even if the shaft face is no longer square.

PL4000 Lathe

PL4000 Lathe

Does big jobs in tight spots. Mounts to the end of the work piece, requires minimal clearance, and re-turns both straight and tapered shafts precisely. Its turning bar is easily adjusted for reach, turning radius and obstacle clearance on projects with shaft diameters ranging from 8 to 24 inches (203.2 to 609.6 mm).

Features & Benefits:

Low Profile

  • Requires only 12.75 inches (323.8 mm) of radial turning clearance so you can work in tight spots.

Powerful and Precise

  • Performs all turning operations along 24.75 inches (628.7 mm) of shaft. Cuts tapers up to 2.5 inches per foot (63.5 mm per 304.8 mm) on diameter.
  • Turns shafts from 8.0 – 24.0 inches (203.2 – 609.6 mm). (This machine works within a 12.0 inch (304.8 mm) diameter space around the shaft, and 24.0 inches (609.6 mm) from the end of the shaft, or 27.0 inches (685.8 mm) with optional extender.)
