How much does the Johnford ST-100B cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Johnford ST-100B that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Johnford ST-100B has 2,400 mm (94.5 in) of Z travel and 2,100 mm (82.7 in) of tailstock travel on the 920 mm (36.2 in) swing frame, with the A2-11 spindle.
In the weight column this model belongs with the shortest long-bed lathe, not with the longer ones. It is listed at 16,500 kg (36,300 lb), close to the ST-80B at 15,000 kg (33,000 lb). The next size, the ST-130B, jumps to 20,100 kg (44,220 lb). For a buyer whose parts run a little over two metres, the ST-100B therefore covers the length without the foundation and floor load of the three-metre machine.
Length is 7,812 mm (307.6 in); width and height, 2,504 mm (98.6 in) and 2,895 mm (114 in), are common to the whole frame.
The working figures are those of every B-spindle model on this frame. Chuck 381 mm (15 in), optionally 450 mm (17.7 in). Bore 132.5 mm (5.2 in), bar capacity 116 mm (4.6 in). Four automatic speeds to 2,000 rpm from 22 / 26 kW (29.5 / 34.9 hp), or 30 / 37 kW (40.2 / 49.6 hp) with the optional motor. X travel 370 mm (14.6 in), swing over the cross slide 700 mm (27.6 in), 12-position turret.
