Baileigh PL-1860 18" × 60" Precision Geared Head Lathe
Are you running a demanding shop that needs a heavy-duty engine lathe for long shafts and large-diameter workpieces with a Mitutoyo DRO on 220V 3-phase power?
What if that lathe gave you an 18-inch swing, 60 inches between centers, 30 to 2,000 RPM, and comprehensive inch, metric, and modular threading on a precision-ground cast iron platform?
Meet the Baileigh PL-1860, an 18-inch by 60-inch precision geared head lathe built for production shops, tool rooms, and industrial maintenance environments that need large-capacity turning with long-term accuracy.
With the PL-1860, you get a 7.5 HP motor on 220V 3-phase power, a factory-installed Mitutoyo 2-axis DRO, a 3.125-inch spindle bore, and a heavy cast iron base with precision-ground bed ways.
When the PL-1860 is set up for your work, you get accurate, repeatable results on oversized and long workpieces with a machine built for demanding daily industrial use.
Baileigh PL-1860 for Large-Capacity Precision Engine Lathe Turning
7.5 HP Geared Head Delivers Power from 30 to 2,000 RPM
The geared headstock delivers consistent power and smooth torque from 30 to 2,000 RPM, covering the full range of turning, facing, threading, and contouring operations on steel, aluminum, and other common metals. This wide speed range suits both heavy stock removal at low RPM and fine finishing work at higher speeds without switching drive systems.
Mitutoyo 2-Axis DRO and Precision-Ground Ways Support Accurate Machining
The factory-installed Mitutoyo 2-axis digital readout improves positioning accuracy and reduces setup errors on close-tolerance work. Precision-ground bed ways provide smooth, consistent slide movement that holds alignment through repeated heavy machining operations in demanding daily production environments.
18-Inch Swing and 60-Inch Centers Handle Oversized and Long Stock
The 18-inch swing over bed and 60 inches between centers accommodate oversized diameter workpieces and long shafts that mid-size lathes cannot handle. A 3.125-inch spindle bore, 9-inch cross slide travel, and 5.31-inch compound slide travel support a wide range of turning and facing operations on larger stock.
Comprehensive Threading Covers Full Shop Requirements
The PL-1860 cuts 40 imperial thread pitches from 2 to 56 TPI, 53 metric thread pitches from 0.4 to 14mm, 44 modular pitch threads from 0.4 to 7 MP, and 32 diametrical pitch threads from 4 to 32 DP. Longitudinal feeds span 40 imperial and 40 metric speeds, covering the full range of threading and feed requirements that production shops and industrial maintenance environments handle daily.
