Overview

What This Machine Does

The C0632A is a horizontal small bench type lathe for workshops that need engine-lathe behaviour in a machine that will sit on a bench or a light stand. The bed ways are precision ground and supersonic frequency hardened and the spindle runs in precision roller bearings, so the machine keeps working accuracy where a soft-way bench lathe would wear under the chuck within a year of daily use. Headstock gears are ground and hardened steel and the spindle covers 70 to 2000RPM, wide enough to rough steel and finish small brass and aluminium parts without changing machines. The feed box is sealed against swarf and carries both feed rates and thread cutting positions. Workholding is supplied as a working set rather than a single chuck: three-jaw and four-jaw chucks, face plate, steady rest and follow rest, with a live centre, quick change tool post, taper turning attachment and brake available as options. Under HS classification 8459 it is exported as a metalworking machine tool.

Key Benefits

Why Buyers Choose This Machine

  • Bench footprint with engine-lathe features so a small shop gets 70-2000RPM turning without floor space for a full machine
  • Precision ground and frequency hardened ways keep the carriage true after repeated daily use
  • Sealed feed box keeps swarf out of the gears that set feed rate and thread pitch
  • Three-jaw four-jaw and face plate supplied together so round irregular and flat work are all covered
  • Steady rest and follow rest included for slender shaft work
  • Optional taper turning attachment adds tapers without offsetting the tailstock
  • Optional quick change tool post cuts setup time on jobs with several tools
Application

Where Horizontal Bench Type Lathe Machine C0632A Earns Its Place

Problems It Solves

  • A full engine lathe will not fit or load-bear in a small shop, but hobby-grade bench lathes cannot hold accuracy
  • Soft bed ways wear quickly near the chuck and the machine starts turning taper
  • Swarf in an open feed box makes feed and thread selection stiff and unreliable
  • Round-only workholding cannot take castings or flat off-centre parts
  • Offsetting the tailstock for tapers loses the centre setting and has to be reset afterwards
  • Slender shafts chatter and bend away from the tool without a steady or follow rest

Who It Is For

  • Workshops with limited floor area that still need a capable manual lathe
  • Toolrooms and prototype shops making one-off turned parts
  • Repair businesses turning replacement components in house
  • Training workshops teaching turning threading and taper work
  • Importers supplying light engineering shops

Application Scenarios

  • Small shaft pin and bush turning in a bench-equipped repair shop
  • Boring irregular castings held in the four-jaw chuck
  • Face plate work on flat or off-centre components
  • Cutting replacement threads on studs and adjusters
  • Taper turning with the optional attachment for cone and seat work
  • Toolroom and prototype turning alongside larger production machines

Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

Floor-standing engine latheThe C0632A gives the same hardened ways roller bearing spindle and 70-2000RPM range in a bench-type frame that fits a small shop
Hobby-grade bench latheHardened ground ways and a sealed feed box are the difference between a machine that holds size after a year and one that does not
Engine Lathe Machine C0630ASame series and the same spindle range; C0632A is configured as a horizontal bench type machine, so choose it when floor space rather than capacity is the constraint
Offsetting the tailstock for tapersThe optional taper turning attachment cuts the taper without disturbing the centre alignment you need for the next job
Use Guide

Running the Machine

Step 1

Mount the lathe on a rigid bench or stand and level it before the first cut

Step 2

Select the three-jaw for round bar the four-jaw for castings and the face plate for flat work

Step 3

Set the spindle speed within 70-2000RPM to suit diameter and material

Step 4

Choose the feed rate or thread pitch on the sealed feed box and engage the lead screw only for threading

Step 5

Fit the steady rest or follow rest when turning long slender work

Step 6

Use the taper turning attachment rather than offsetting the tailstock when tapers are needed

Step 7

Clean and oil the ways and lead screw at the end of each shift

FAQ

Questions About Horizontal Bench Type Lathe Machine C0632A

Is this a bench machine or a floor machine?

It is a horizontal bench type lathe, designed to be mounted on a rigid bench or stand. The bench must be solid and the machine levelled, or the accuracy of the hardened ways is wasted.

What accessories are included?

Three-jaw chuck, four-jaw chuck, steady rest, face plate and follow rest as standard. Live centre, quick change tool post, taper turning attachment and brake are optional.

Can it cut tapers?

Yes, with the compound slide, or with the optional taper turning attachment which holds the taper without offsetting the tailstock.

What is the spindle speed range?

70 to 2000RPM through the headstock gears, so it will rough steel at the low end and finish small non-ferrous work at the high end.

What supply voltage do you build to?

We wire the machine for the voltage frequency and phase you specify on the order. Send your supply details with the enquiry.

How is the machine packed for export?

Packed for sea or air freight from Xi'an and shipped on FOB CFR or CIF terms. It is exported under HS heading 8459.

What are your payment terms?

30 percent by T/T on order and 70 percent before shipment, or an irrevocable L/C at sight.
