    Maximum Workpiece Material Weights for a CNC Lathe

    Hi Everyone

    I just wanted to check whether any of you know what the maximum workpiece weight for a CNC lathe is. The machine I am currently using is a QuickTech GT4-42S CNC Lathe. I require both the Main Spindle maximum workpiece weight as well as the Sub Spindle maximum workpiece weight. I have tried to find these specs on the internet but have had no success. Please let me know anything that might help or let me know should you require any additional information.

    Thanks again everyone

    According to the QuickTech website 155.0 mm is the max turning length by 100mm dia. I doubt you need to worry about weight.
