Martin DS 80 Lathe
Description
An old Martin automatic lathe is available. Center height: 355mm
AI Description
BetaCapabilities
The Martin DS 80 is a robust automatic lathe designed for precision metalworking. With a swing diameter of 1030mm and center height of 355mm, it handles workpieces up to 4000kg and delivers consistent cuts at 1400rpm. The three-jaw chuck accommodates stock from 250mm to 500mm in diameter, making it versatile for various turning operations. This machine excels at producing cylindrical components, shafts, bushings, and similar parts with repeatable accuracy.
Industries & Uses
Manufacturers and job shops rely on machines like this for medium-volume production runs. It's ideal for businesses producing automotive components, industrial hardware, hydraulic parts, or custom mechanical components. The automatic operation means less operator fatigue and more consistent results compared to manual lathes, making it valuable for shops looking to scale production without major capital investment.
What to Check When Buying
When inspecting a 1966 machine, prioritize checking the spindle bearings for play or noise—wear here is expensive to repair. Ask for maintenance records and examine the chuck jaws for wear or damage. The bed and ways should be checked for straightness, as any warping affects precision. Request a test run to verify spindle runout and smooth operation through multiple speeds. Ask about recent repairs, replacement parts, and whether original documentation (manual, parts lists) is included.
