MODEL CM Features A classic line of quality. Fruit of the Italian tradition of machine tools, the CM model lathe is the machine that must always be present in any workshop. It doesn't matter whether you use it a lot or occasionally, you will always find it ready to give the best for use in maintenance, tooling, special processing. Attention to detail, but without frills, it is a quality lathe where the components are made to last. Rigid and robust, it lends itself to medium-heavy machining while remaining a machine of considerable manageability. Headstock Monobloc casting in various shaft heights, it contains a 16-speed gearbox in geometric progression. Equipped with double mechanical clutch or double electric clutch, ISO 5 quality gears, case-hardened, tempered and ground to obtain precision of gear and reduced noise. CAM LOCK 8? spindle hole 110 cemented and tempered, finely ground and mounted on super-precise tapered roller bearings, allows levels of roughness in machining such as to eliminate some grinding processes on the pieces. Thermally stable and oil lubricated by a special gear pump. Norton box Closed monoblock casting in oil bath contains gears and shafts in hardened, ground C40, mounted on bearings. It allows to obtain 72 feeds and 52 thread pitches without changing external gears in the various Metric, Whithworth, Diametral Pitch, English systems. Wagon and carts The well-dimensioned carriage group is rigid and stable in the various processes, remaining agile and sensitive during maneuvers with the mechanical handwheels. Lead screws finely machined in 38 NcD4 steel with high resistance bronze nuts. The main undercarriage, finely scraped by hand for perfect coupling with the bench, is equipped with adjustment gibs. The control box in oil bath is equipped with grooved profile bars and cemented and hardened worm screw. The starting levers that control the clutch of the head are equipped with hardened mechanisms to ensure long life. Transversal trolley equipped with dovetail to receive any accessories. Counterhead Monobloc casting with adjustable base, finely scraped by hand for perfect coupling with the bench, equipped with case-hardened, tempered and ground sleeve with Morse cone seat and extraction slot.
