Thank you for this opportunity to provide a proposal for a Morton lathe.
The Morton FSML-1660 is a Taiwanese-built precision engine lathe with a full 58 mm spindle bore and a 280 mm induction-hardened bed. It is built to the capacity you asked for, and is supplied and supported locally by QMT Machinery.
Wide saddle running on a 280 mm induction-hardened, ground bed.
Holds rigidity for heavy cuts without needing large horsepower.
Full 58 mm bore takes bar and boring bar stock straight through.
Two roller bearings at the front, middle and rear of the spindle.
Headstock gears are Japanese steel, hardened and ground for low noise.
A mechanical lubricator feeds oil to the gears and bearings automatically.
MT#4 tailstock with 130 mm quill travel and offset for taper work.
Fully enclosed handwheel and foot brake for safe operation.
