Capabilities

The Knuth Sinus 400/1500D is a versatile 2-axis precision lathe built for accurate turning and facing operations. It handles workpieces up to 1500mm in length with a maximum turning diameter of 1035mm (without bridge), making it suitable for medium to large components. The 1600rpm spindle speed, 105mm bore, and adjustable top slide (70° swivel range) provide flexibility for various turning tasks, from simple cylindrical work to more complex angled cuts.

Industries & Uses

This machine serves manufacturers across metalworking, automotive, aerospace, and general engineering sectors. Job shops use it for contract turning work, while in-house production facilities rely on precision lathes like this for producing shafts, bushings, flanges, and custom metal parts. Startups and smaller operations often find universal lathes ideal for getting established without the investment of CNC equipment.

What to Check When Buying

When inspecting a used universal lathe, check the bed for straightness and any signs of wear or damage—this directly affects accuracy. Ask for maintenance records covering spindle bearings, feed mechanisms, and chuck condition. Test the rapid traverse speeds and verify that all axis movements operate smoothly without play or binding. Inspect the quill (90mm diameter, 235mm stroke) for wear and check that tool holders and accessories are included. Have a qualified technician verify spindle runout and alignment before committing to purchase.
