FEL Heavy Duty Series

Category Manual Lathe

The FEL Heavy Duty Series is a robust line of precision lathes engineered for demanding industrial applications. With models ranging from 560 mm to 930 mm swing over bed, these machines offer exceptional rigidity, accuracy, and durability—ideal for heavy-duty turning operations.

Highlights

Made In Taiwan

Delivering the robustness and high precision we’ve all come to expect from Taiwanese-made machine tools

Precision Spindle System

Tapered roller bearings ensure smooth, accurate rotation under load

Heavy-Duty Tailstock

Large quill diameter supports robust machining tasks

Hardened Bedways

Induction hardened and precision ground for long-lasting precision

Rigid Carriage Design

One-piece casting with wide cross slide ways for stability

Versatile Model Range

Multiple swing capacities to suit varied operational needs

Feature Summary

The FEL Engine Lathe Series offers high-speed precision with several key features and benefits. All models come with an oil bathed lubrication system for the headstock, ensuring smooth operation and longevity. The series meets CE standards (on request) and features a 52.5mm spindle bore with ASA D1-6. The castings are stabilized and stress-relieved, while the bed ways are hardened and ground to a minimum HRC of 48-55.

The Turcite B coating between the bed and carriage reduces friction and wear. The machines operate at an extremely low noise level and include a foot brake pedal for safety. Built-in coolant pumps and fittings are provided, along with a wider bed way to absorb vibrations. The EVS model offers constant surface speed control (CSS) on request.

The FEL Engine Lathe Series is designed for durability, precision, and user safety, making it an excellent choice for high-speed machining.
