The Sharp 1640L Precision Lathe is engineered for high accuracy and heavy cutting performance. It features a robust 16-inch swing over the bed and a 40-inch distance between centers. A standout feature is its 318-inch spindle bore, which is the largest bore available in a 16-inch swing lathe, allowing for the machining of materials like 3-inch diameter oil pipes. The machine is constructed with a one-piece Meehanite casting bed, which provides exceptional vibration dampening and guarantees the permanent straightness of the bed ways. The headstock features a 12-speed geared system (40-2000 rpm), with all gears hardened and ground from Chrome-Moly material for long-lasting power and precision. High-precision matched angular contact bearings support the front of the spindle for enduring accuracy even under heavy cutting conditions. The lathe offers direct selection for a wide range of inch and metric threads. A removable gap increases the swing to 255 inches for machining short-length, large-diameter parts. Standard accessories include a 3-jaw chuck, steady rest, coolant system, and a full-length splash guard.
