Manually-controlled lathe PL4000

horizontalportablefor shaft machining

Overview
The CLIMAX PL4000 portable lathe is engineered for precision in-place shaft machining where disassembly is impractical and space is limited. It mounts to the end of the workpiece and requires minimal radial and axial clearance, delivering accurate onsite machining for maintenance, repair and overhaul across industrial, power generation and marine applications.

Product Advantages

• Low Profile — Requires only 12.75 inches (323.8 mm) of radial turning clearance, enabling work in confined spaces.
• Powerful and Precise — Performs turning operations along 24.75 inches (628.7 mm) of shaft and cuts tapers up to 2.5 inches per foot (63.5 mm per 304.8 mm) on diameter.
• Handles shaft diameters from 8.0 to 24.0 inches (203.2 – 609.6 mm). Operates within a 12.0 inch (304.8 mm) diameter envelope around the shaft and up to 24.0 inches (609.6 mm) from the shaft end; 27.0 inches (685.8 mm) with optional extender.
