The BEMATO BMT-1640A Conventional Manual Lathe is a robust, high-precision engine lathe designed for tool rooms, maintenance shops, educational facilities, and general-purpose machining applications. Built with a rigid cast iron bed and precision-ground guideways, the BMT-1640A delivers excellent stability, smooth carriage movement, and long-term accuracy for turning, facing, threading, and boring operations. With a swing over bed of 400 mm and a generous 1,000 mm distance between centers, this manual lathe is well-suited for machining medium-length shafts and cylindrical components with consistent accuracy.
The BMT-1640A features a hardened and ground spindle supported by precision bearings, providing reliable performance across a wide range of cutting conditions. Its Ø55 mm spindle bore with D1-6 spindle nose allows the use of standard chucks and workholding accessories, while the MT6 spindle taper ensures solid torque transmission for demanding cuts. A multi-step spindle speed range up to 2,000 rpm enables operators to optimize surface finish and tool life across various materials, from mild steel to alloy steel and non-ferrous metals. The machine’s precision cross slide and compound rest offer smooth, controlled movements, making it ideal for both roughing and fine finishing work.
Designed with operator convenience and safety in mind, the BMT-1640A includes standard features such as a chuck guard, splash guard, coolant system, and quick-change tool post, ensuring efficient and safe daily operation. The tailstock with MT4 taper and smooth quill travel provides reliable support for drilling and between-center turning applications. Optional accessories such as steady rest, follow rest, digital readout (DRO), taper turning attachment, and faceplate further expand the machine’s versatility for specialized machining tasks.
With its balanced combination of rigidity, precision, and ease of use, the BEMATO BMT-1640A manual lathe is a dependable choice for shops seeking a durable conventional lathe with modern performance standards. It offers excellent value for manufacturers in Canada and the USA looking for a reliable manual turning machine capable of handling both production support and custom machining work with confidence.
