Specifications
It is a 11×25 Advance TY-1125BH metal “engine” lathe, manufactured in 1985.
11×25 means that a maximum 11“ diameter stock can be turned over the bed (NOT over the cross-slide however!), and a maximum length of 25” stock can be turned between centres (NOT in a 3/4 jaw chuck!).
Materials
- Aluminum
- Steel
- Brass (with special tooling)
Cutting speeds can be determined easily by using this cutting speed nomogram. The original cutting speed nomogram came from Ian at the BCSME.
