Haas TL-1P

The Haas TL-1P is the 3,000 rpm member of the TL-1 family, a toolroom lathe listed with a 6.5 in (165 mm) chuck, an 8 in (203 mm) maximum turning diameter and 30 in (762 mm) between centers. The spindle is a belt-driven 10 hp (7.5 kW) unit on an A2-5 nose.

Compared with the TL-1, the P model trades diameter for speed. The TL-1 turns up to 16 in (406 mm) and stops at 1,800 rpm. The TL-1P turns up to 8 in and reaches 3,000 rpm, with the same 108 ft-lbf (146 N·m) at 355 rpm, the same 8 in of X travel and the same 30 in of Z travel. The extra speed fits the small diameters this envelope implies: parts a few inches across reach a surface speed that the TL-1 at 1,800 rpm cannot give them.

The chuck is the part of the table to read closely. Its throat is 1.81 in (46 mm) in diameter and 3.1 in (78.7 mm) deep, and the drawbar bore is 1.03 in (26.2 mm) in diameter and 4.91 in (124.7 mm) deep. The spindle bore itself is 2.3 in (58.4 mm). What passes through the spindle and what the chuck will swallow are therefore different numbers, and bar that has to run back through the drawbar is limited to the smallest of them.

Turning length depends on workholding. The table gives 30 in as the figure that varies with it, equal to the Z travel and to the distance between centers. Swing over the front apron is 20 in (508 mm). Rapids are 450 ipm (11.4 m/min), and thrust is 3,894 lbf (17,321 N) on X and 1,947 lbf (8,661 N) on Z.

Supply can be 220 VAC single-phase at 40 A, 220 VAC three-phase at 25 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 13 A, with air at 80 psi (5.5 bar) minimum. The shipping pallet is 89 × 66.5 × 83 in (226 × 169 × 211 cm), growing to 121 × 70 × 83 in (307 × 178 × 211 cm) and 4,620 lb with the conveyor option. Haas's starting price is US$53,995.
