High-Precision CJM250 Light Metal Lathe (CJM250/500 & CJM250/700)

Product Overview

The CJM250 series light metal lathe is a highly efficient and reliable equipment engineered for precision metalworking, toolmaking, and prototyping. Featuring a 250mm maximum swing over bed, this bench lathe is available in two center-distance models to suit various workpiece requirements: 500mm (CJM250/500) and 700mm (CJM250/700).

Driven by a robust 750W motor and an all-gear headstock, the CJM250 delivers uncompromising rigidity and cutting accuracy across a wide range of speeds. With its heavy-duty double-V and double-flat guideway structure, it provides an exceptional solution for precise thread turning and everyday metal cutting operations.

Core Features & Technical Advantages

  • All-Gear Drive Headstock & 12-Speed Adjustments: Unlike traditional belt-driven lathes, the headstock utilizes a full mechanical gear drive with an oil-bath circulation system. It supports 12 spindle speed steps ranging from 80 to 1600 rpm, ensuring powerful, lossless torque output at both low and high speeds.
  • High-Rigidity Guideways: Built on a premium cast-iron bed with double-V and double-flat guideways (两山两矩). The bedways are precision-ground and hardened to achieve excellent vibration damping, structural rigidity, and long-term geometric accuracy.
  • 12-Speed Variable Speed Gearbox for Threading: The integrated quick-change gearbox covers a comprehensive range of common thread pitches without frequent change-gear swaps. It easily cuts 18 Metric threads (0.25~5.0mm), 36 Imperial/Inch threads (4~96 T.P.I), 14 Modulus threads, and 24 Diametral Pitch threads.
  • Dual-Direction Automatic Feed with Safety Interlock: Equipped with both longitudinal and cross automatic power feeds. The machine incorporates a specialized interlocking mechanism to prevent accidental simultaneous engagement, significantly enhancing operational safety.
  • Quick-Locking Cam Tailstock: Features a fast and secure cam-lock mechanism on the tailstock, enabling rapid positioning and rigid clamping to reduce non-productive setup times during batch processing.
