The new MS-JTL combines our patented Midsize (MS) Clamshell and journal turning lathe (JTL), for a precision machining tool that turns large diameter shafts accurately. Designed for larger diameter shaft refurbishment (8" to 26"), the MS-JTL has two feed screws for parallel motion. This results in smoother journal turning and more accuracy. Ease of setup is realized with the lightweight design and fully adjustable locators of this shaft refurbishment machine. The unique split frame design of the MS-Journal Turning Lathe allows it to clamp over the existing shaft enhancing setup options. The MS-JTL can be positioned in tight onsite machining areas that need precision machining with minimal operating clearance required.
A two-speed gearbox driven by an electric servo allows for fast setup and smooth surface finishes. Accurate cutting tolerances and exacting surface finishes are achieved through the rigid bearing system and rugged design of this precision machining system.
This hybrid portable lathe machine may be powered by Hydraulic, Pneumatic or Electric power and comes complete in a box with everything you’ll need to turn shafts for almost any OD turning application.
