Zimmermann FZ Lathe
Description
A conventional lathe Zimmermann with some modification measures is available. Turning diameter over bed: 1000mm
AI Description
BetaCapabilities
This Zimmermann FZ lathe is a conventional turning machine built to handle mid-sized metalworking jobs. It can turn workpieces up to 1000mm in diameter and work on pieces up to 430mm long, with a 250mm chuck for secure holding. The multiple support travels (500mm, 300mm, 200mm) give flexibility for different project setups, making it suitable for both standard cylindrical work and more complex turning operations.
Industries & Uses
Small to medium-sized metal fabrication shops, automotive suppliers, and job shops commonly use machines like this for producing shafts, bushings, valve bodies, and custom turned components. It's a solid choice for businesses that need reliable production capacity without the complexity of CNC systems, or as supplementary equipment alongside modern machinery.
What to Check When Buying
When inspecting a 1985 lathe, focus on spindle runout (check for vibration and noise), wear in the chuck and headstock bearings, and the condition of the bed ways—these are the most costly items to repair. Request full maintenance records and ask specifically about recent spindle work, any bearing replacements, and how the machine has been stored. Test all support positions and verify that the chuck grips securely. Documentation is available for this unit, which is a positive sign of proper maintenance history.
