Overview

The Haas TL-1 is a toolroom lathe with a 16 in (406 mm) maximum turning diameter, 30 in (762 mm) between centers and a 10 hp (7.5 kW) spindle that runs to 1,800 rpm. X travel is 8 in (203 mm) and Z travel is 30 in.

Three diameter figures matter on this machine and they are not the same thing. Swing over the front apron is 20 in (508 mm), the largest part that clears the bed. Swing over the cross slide is 11 in (279 mm), so a long part that passes over the slide has to stay under that. The 16 in maximum turning diameter is what the tool can reach, and it falls to 8 in with the four-station turret. A shop that plans to run a turret should size its work to the smaller figure.

The spindle has an A2-5 nose and a 2.3 in (58 mm) bore, and peak torque is 108 ft-lbf (146 N·m) at 355 rpm. Those are light-duty numbers: fine for one-offs, repair work and short runs, limited for heavy roughing at large diameters. An 8 in (203 mm) chuck is listed as an option, so workholding is part of the order and not a given.

Installation is undemanding. The TL-1 can run on 220 VAC single-phase at 40 A, as well as 220 VAC three-phase at 25 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 13 A, which opens it to buildings without three-phase service. Air must be at least 80 psi (5.5 bar) through a 3/8 in line. The shipping pallet is 100 × 69 × 83 in (254 × 175 × 211 cm), or 121 × 70 × 83 in (307 × 178 × 211 cm) with the conveyor option, at 4,620 lb with the conveyor.

The TL-2 has the same spindle and X travel on a longer bed, with 48 in (1,219 mm) of Z travel and turning length. The TL-1P keeps the 30 in of Z travel but runs to 3,000 rpm with a 6.5 in (165 mm) chuck and an 8 in maximum turning diameter. Haas's starting price for the TL-1 is US$37,995.

Best For

One-off and repair turning up to 16 in (406 mm) in diameter Shops with only single-phase 220 VAC power Shafts up to 30 in (762 mm) between centers Prototype and short-run parts on a 10 hp (7.5 kW) spindle

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Can the TL-1 run on single-phase power?

Yes. Haas lists three supply choices: 220 VAC single-phase at 40 A, 220 VAC three-phase at 25 A and 440 VAC three-phase at 13 A. The machine also needs compressed air at a minimum of 80 psi (5.5 bar), through a 3/8 in hose and coupler.

02 What is the largest part the TL-1 can turn?

Maximum turning diameter is 16 in (406 mm) and maximum turning length is 30 in (762 mm). With the four-station turret the turning diameter is 8 in (203 mm). Swing is 20 in (508 mm) over the front apron and 11 in (279 mm) over the cross slide, so long parts that extend over the slide are limited to the smaller swing.

03 How does the TL-1 differ from the TL-2?

In length. The TL-1 has 30 in (762 mm) of Z travel and turning length; the TL-2 has 48 in (1,219 mm). Both have a 16 in (406 mm) maximum turning diameter, 8 in (203 mm) of X travel, an A2-5 spindle nose with a 2.3 in (58 mm) bore, 10 hp (7.5 kW), 1,800 rpm and 450 ipm (11.4 m/min) rapids.

04 What spindle does the TL-1 have?

A 10 hp (7.5 kW) spindle with an A2-5 nose and a 2.3 in (58 mm) bore. Maximum speed is 1,800 rpm and maximum torque is 108 ft-lbf (146 N·m) at 355 rpm. The table lists an 8 in (203 mm) chuck as an option.

05 How big is the TL-1 when it ships?

The domestic and export pallets are both 100 × 69 × 83 in (254 × 175 × 211 cm). With the conveyor option the pallet is 121 × 70 × 83 in (307 × 178 × 211 cm) and the listed weight is 4,620 lb. These are shipping figures, not the installed floor space.
