AI Description

Capabilities

The Weiler MDU 260 is a versatile precision lathe designed for turning, threading, and finishing cylindrical metal parts. With a 260mm maximum swing over the bed and 500mm distance between centers, it handles mid-sized components efficiently. The 28mm spindle bore and 1–26mm clamping range make it suitable for a variety of shaft diameters, while the 22mm drilling capability adds flexibility for secondary operations.

Industries & Uses

This lathe serves job shops, small manufacturing facilities, tool makers, and machine repair businesses that need reliable precision work on steel, aluminum, and other metals. It's equally valuable for educational institutions training machinists or businesses producing custom parts, shafts, bushings, and mechanical components. The 2004 overhaul by Mammut is a strong indicator of the machine's maintenance history.

What to Check When Buying

When inspecting this 1977 model, check the spindle for runout and smooth operation under load—spindle wear is common in older machines. Verify that the chuck, tailstock, and cross-slide move freely without binding. Ask for documentation of the 2004 overhaul and any maintenance records since then. Inspect the bed for wear patterns, cracks, or straightness issues. Test all feed mechanisms and verify electrical safety compliance before operating.
