The Accu-turn Model 8989 Truck lathe incorporates Accu-turn’s legendary one cut finish performance with the capacity and speeds required to handle medium and heavy truck work. With two arbor speeds, slowing all the way down to 52 RPM the 8989 can safely and efficiently handle the largest truck work.
Feature Benefit Overview
Two arbor speeds of 52 and 105 RPM
Provides safe, slow machining of rotors to 24” and drums to 28”.
Truck arbors and extensive accessories
Featuring two truck shops with 1 7/8” OD arbor standard, either with or without an outboard support expanding the machining capacity to 600 lbs, the 8989 says TRUCK.
Expanded facing width
Rotors to 4.5” and drums to a full 10” facing width gives you the range to handle just about anything you can fit in your building.
Positive rake cutter tip angle
Provides for one pass finish virtually every time, allowing you to complete the work faster than multiple pass machining processes. Metal and heat come off the top of the tip as you machine allowing for one pass machining with virtually any depth of cut. Get it in, get it out faster then any lathe in the industry.
Dovetail Way and Adjustable Gibb Design
The most dependable repeat guidance system in the machining industry. System provides for the ability to adjust out any tolerance increase caused by years of wear. Maintain factory tolerances for the life of the lathe. Dovetail ways are covered by stainless steel way covers for maximum performance.
Tapered Roller Bearing Spindle
The lathe spindle is supported by Timken tapered roller bearings for years of maintenance free turning, the same system that automotive spindles have relied on for years.
Massive lathe housing casting
Combining a total mass of 500 lbs and a solid table top platform design the 8989 eliminates transient vibrations ensuring a smooth uninterrupted surface finish on every pass. Cutting platform actually sits in a 200 lb iron casting, not suspended on a support mechanism
Independent AC feed motors
Utilizing independent feed motors for rotor and drum improves the lathes versatility to machine all varieties of drums and rotors. Through a separated switch wiring we substantially reduce the possibility of catastrophic operator error. Providing smooth, consistent feed, day in and day out for years.
