2008 Southwestern Industries Trak-1630SX CNC Lathe

The 2008 Southwestern Industries TRAK 1630SX CNC Lathe is built for efficient precision turning, merging manual lathe convenience with full CNC control through the ProtoTRAK SLX system. With a 16-inch swing, 30-inch distance between centers, and 2.12-inch spindle bore, it handles a wide range of shaft and chuck work with ease. The 7.5-horsepower motor drives up to 2500 RPM through a D1-6 spindle nose, while the 5C collet and 8-inch 3-jaw chuck combination ensures fast part changes and excellent concentricity.

Compared to entry-level manual lathes, the 1630SX adds programmable cycles, a 4-position tool post, and 8-gallon coolant system for consistent automated performance. Its sturdy 12.6-inch bed width, MT#6 taper, and intuitive conversational programming make it ideal for toolrooms, short-run production, and prototyping with minimal setup time.
