Baileigh PL-1860E 18" × 60" Geared Head Engine Lathe
Are you running a machine shop or industrial environment that needs a large-capacity engine lathe for long shafts and oversized workpieces on 220V 3-phase power?
What if that lathe gave you an 18-inch swing, 60 inches between centers, 12 spindle speeds from 25 to 1,800 RPM, and a 2-axis DRO on a precision-ground cast iron platform?
Meet the Baileigh PL-1860E, an 18-inch by 60-inch geared head engine lathe built for machine shops, schools, and industrial environments that need reliable, large-capacity turning with precision and repeatability.
With the PL-1860E, you get a 7.5 HP motor on 220V 3-phase power, a 3.125-inch spindle bore, gear-driven feeds, and a heavy cast iron base with precision-ground and polished ways.
When the PL-1860E is set up for your work, you get accurate, consistent results on large and long workpieces with a machine built for demanding industrial daily use.
Baileigh PL-1860E for Large-Capacity Industrial Engine Lathe Turning
12 Spindle Speeds Cover a Wide Range of Turning Operations
The geared headstock delivers 12 selectable spindle speeds from 25 to 1,800 RPM, giving operators the range to match cutting conditions across turning, facing, threading, and finishing operations on a wide variety of metals. Consistent torque delivery at all 12 speeds keeps cutting performance stable through heavy stock removal and fine finishing work alike.
18-Inch Swing and 60-Inch Centers Handle Large and Long Stock
The 18-inch swing over bed and 60 inches between centers accommodate oversized workpieces and long shafts that smaller lathes cannot handle. A 3.125-inch spindle bore accepts larger bar stock, and the 10-1/2-inch cross slide travel and 5.13-inch compound rest travel support a wide range of turning and facing operations on larger diameter parts.
2-Axis DRO and Precision-Ground Ways Support Accurate Machining
The 2-axis digital readout improves positioning accuracy and speeds up setup on close-tolerance work. Precision-ground and polished bed ways provide smooth, consistent slide movement that holds alignment through repeated heavy machining operations, keeping dimensional accuracy consistent from the first part to the last.
Comprehensive Threading Capability Covers Standard Shop Requirements
The PL-1860E cuts 61 imperial thread pitches from 1-5/8 to 72 TPI, 21 modular pitch threads, and 45 diametrical pitch threads from 3-1/2 to 96 DP. Longitudinal feeds span 122 speeds from 0.0015 to 0.0913 inches per revolution, covering the full range of threading and feed requirements that machine shops and industrial maintenance environments encounter on a regular basis.
