The C6136 is a high-performance universal manual lathe designed for versatile metalworking operations in workshops, maintenance facilities, and small-scale production environments. With its robust cast iron bed and reliable mechanical structure, it delivers stable performance and precision for turning, facing, boring, threading, and tapering tasks on various ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
The lathe offers a maximum swing over bed of 360mm and a maximum workpiece length of 1000mm, making it suitable for processing medium-sized shafts, discs, and other cylindrical components. The spindle features an MT6 Morse taper, a 52mm through-hole diameter, and a speed range of 30–1600rpm, accommodating different workpiece sizes and cutting requirements. The 3/4kW main motor provides sufficient power for both light finishing cuts and heavier roughing operations.
The machine supports a comprehensive range of thread cutting capabilities, including metric threads from 0.5–20mm (25 kinds), inch threads from 80–1.75 TPI (35 kinds), module threads from 0.25–10mm, and pitch diameter threads from 160–3.5DP (30 kinds). The longitudinal feed range is 0.039–1.05mm/rev and the transverse feed range is 0.019–0.52mm/rev, offering precise control over material removal rates.
The tailstock, equipped with an MT4 spindle, provides up to 100mm travel and is ideal for supporting long workpieces and drilling operations. With its compact footprint (2250×1130×1540mm) and a total weight of approximately 1600kg, the C6136 balances power and versatility, making it a reliable and cost-effective choice for both professional machinists and hobbyists.

1. Install the lathe on a reinforced concrete foundation with sufficient load-bearing capacity to ensure stability during heavy cutting.
2. Connect to a standard three-phase power supply with reliable grounding to prevent electrical hazards.
3. Before operation, check the lubrication system, spindle oil level, and coolant supply to ensure smooth running.
4. Securely clamp workpieces and cutting tools before starting the machine to prevent accidents.
5. Do not change spindle speed or feed rate while the machine is running to protect gears and transmission parts.
6. Wear safety goggles and avoid loose clothing or jewelry near rotating components during operation.
7. Regularly clean chips from the bed ways, lead screw, and apron to maintain accuracy and prevent wear.
8. When idle for extended periods, turn off the power, apply anti-rust oil to exposed metal surfaces, and cover the machine.

The C6136 manual lathe is widely used for various metalworking tasks in different industries:

• Mechanical workshops: Turning, facing, boring, and threading of shafts, bolts, and mechanical parts
• Maintenance and repair: Rebuilding worn components and producing replacement parts for machinery
• Educational institutions: Training machinists on basic and advanced lathe operations
• Hobbyist and small-scale production: Custom parts making, model engineering, and small batch manufacturing
• Suitable for processing steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and other common metals
