Heavy Duty Universal Metal Horizontal Hand Lathe CW6180

The CW6180 is a heavy-duty, manual horizontal metal turning lathe designed for precision metalworking. It suits both beginners and experienced users and is intended for a wide range of turning tasks in workshops, prototype shops, educational settings and hobbyist environments.

Key specs: Model CW6180; horizontal metal turning lathe; max workpiece length 2000 mm; max workpiece weight 800 kg; spindle speed 0–800 rpm; cutting torque 15 N·m; bed width 600 mm; machine weight 5400 kg; rated voltage 380 V.

Maximum workpiece length is 2000 mm and maximum supported workpiece weight is 800 kg. Ensure your fixtures and chucking method are appropriate for the part's dimensions and weight.

The machine is rated for 380 V. This typically means a three-phase industrial supply; confirm local electrical requirements and have a qualified electrician handle installation.

The CW6180 is a manual (hand) horizontal lathe. It includes some automatic/assisted features to simplify operation, but it is not a CNC-controlled machine.

Spindle speed is adjustable from 0 to 800 rpm. Final achievable speeds depend on chosen gearing and drive configuration.

The lathe supports typical turning operations such as plain turning, facing, boring, and cutting threads or tapers depending on tooling and setup. Its multifunctional design lets you adapt it for many metalworking tasks.

Yes. The lathe is described as suitable for beginners and educational institutions; however, proper training, supervision and adherence to safety procedures are recommended before use.

Expect basic safety features such as emergency stop and guarding options; specifics vary by supplier. Always use appropriate PPE (safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves where appropriate), secure loose clothing and follow lockout/tagout and safe work practices.

The machine weight is 5400 kg. Installation typically requires a reinforced floor or foundation, proper leveling and alignment, and suitable lifting equipment (crane or heavy-duty forklift). Professional installation and anchoring are recommended.

Regular maintenance includes lubrication of slides and lead screws, cleaning chips and coolant residues, checking and tensioning belts, inspecting electrical connections, checking tool holders and chuck condition, and replacing worn cutting tools. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.

Inclusions vary by supplier. Common accessories are 3-jaw/4-jaw chucks, steady and follow rests, faceplates, tool posts, and cutting tool sets. Check with the seller for standard package content and optional accessories.

The product is described as having energy-saving and eco-friendly design elements. Exact features depend on the configuration—ask the supplier for details such as efficient drives or low-power standby modes.

The CW6180 is marketed for high-accuracy machining, but final accuracy depends on setup, tooling, workholding, machine alignment and operator skill. For precision requirements, perform proper calibration and use appropriate cutting tools and measuring equipment.

Warranty, training and spare parts availability vary by manufacturer and distributor. Contact the supplier or manufacturer for details on warranty terms, available training programs, technical support and parts procurement.
