1996 Okuma Cadet LNC8 CNC Lathe

The 1996 Okuma Cadet?LNC-8 is a rugged two-axis CNC turning centre that blends precision and reliability in a compact footprint. Featuring a swing over bed of fifteen-and-three-quarter inches and a maximum turning diameter of nine-point-eight-four inches, it accommodates up to twenty-inch workpiece length between centers. The X-axis travel is approximately six-point-eight-nine inches and Z-axis travel around twenty-point-forty-seven inches, powered by a ten to fifteen horsepower spindle motor that achieves speeds up to 4,200?RPM with infinite variable control. The spindle bore is around two inches with an A2-6 nose, supporting up to a two-inch bar capacity under collet chuck configuration. A twelve-station block turret ensures rapid tool indexing for efficient operations.

Under the intuitive Okuma OSP-5020L CNC control (or optional OSP-700L), the Cadet LNC-8 supports programmable tailstock, tool presetting interface, automatic lubrication, and a wired bar-feeder interface—even if no feeder is currently installed. Production-ready with a chip conveyor and optional parts catcher, the machine is tailored for job-shop, short-run, or lights-out deployment in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing environments.
