This machine is designed for turning and machining large workpieces and steel bar stock. It is well suited to demanding industrial applications, including oil and gas pipeline production, aerospace manufacturing and heavy-duty shaft machining.
1. Spindle and Headstock
-The spindle is available with either a 105 mm (4 in) or 152 mm (6 in) bore and provides 12 spindle speeds. A turbine-type speed-change mechanism helps prevent gear jumping, while the headstock is supported at three points to provide excellent rigidity and stability.
-Models with a spindle bore of 152 mm (6 in) or larger are equipped with an adjustable electromagnetic brake. This allows the braking response to be adapted to different workpiece materials and spindle speeds.
-The gears and shafts are manufactured from high-grade alloy steel and supported by quality NSK bearings, providing durable cutting performance and reduced operating noise.
-A sealed oil-bath lubrication system uses a mechanical pump to provide forced oil circulation, ensuring consistent and effective lubrication throughout the headstock.
The headstock shown is equipped with a 152 mm (6 in) spindle bore and a 12-speed spindle system.
2. Base
The machine bed is manufactured from high-strength Meehanite cast iron and carefully stabilised to maintain alignment and machining accuracy. The bedways are induction-hardened and precision-ground for excellent wear resistance and long service life.
The one-piece cast base provides superior rigidity and stability, supporting greater machining capacity under demanding operating conditions.
3. Gearbox
The quick-change universal gearbox supports metric, imperial, diametrical-pitch (DP), module-pitch (MP) and multiple-start thread cutting without requiring change gears. Its broad threading range and straightforward controls improve operating efficiency and productivity.
4. Tailstock
The tailstock features a two-stage feed mechanism and a saddle-assisted movement system, allowing the tailstock body to travel smoothly along the bed with minimal operator effort.
5. Electrical System
The machine is equipped with a 20 HP motor, a two-stage safety start-up system and overload protection that automatically disconnects the power supply if an unsafe load is detected.
6. Apron
The apron is equipped with rapid traverse, forward and reverse movement, and an integrated safety mechanism. A sealed oil-bath system provides automatic lubrication, while rapid cross-feed improves operating efficiency.
7. Saddle
The saddle surfaces receive an anti-friction treatment and are supplied with regular oil lubrication, reducing wear and ensuring smooth, durable operation.
8. Castings
The principal structural components, including the base, headstock, saddle and tailstock, are manufactured from high-quality FC-30 cast iron. These components are annealed to relieve internal stresses, improve dimensional stability and minimise deformation.
9. Precision Treatment
Critical components—including the bedways, spindle, saddle, cross-slide dovetail surfaces, top slide and tailstock quill—are treated using high-frequency hardening to improve surface hardness, wear resistance and service life.

Denver's HG series lathes are designed for demanding heavy-duty machining applications. It combines straightforward operation with excellent rigidity, stability and load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for the heavy turning of moulds, gears, wheels, shafts, spindles and similar components.
Base
The rigid base is manufactured from high-quality Meehanite cast iron for heavy-duty cutting. Its robust construction provides increased load capacity and greater stability during machining.
Compound Rest
A four-point clamping system provides excellent compound-rest stability. The wide toolpost and top slide are induction-hardened and precision-ground to ensure accuracy and a long service life.
Spindle and Headstock
The headstock provides 12 spindle speeds, while the spindle is supported at three points by precision bearings. The gears and spindle are manufactured from high-quality alloy steel, heat-treated and precision-ground for superior hardness, strength and durability.
The spindle is available with either an 80 mm or 105 mm bore.
Gearbox
The metric and imperial gearbox supports metric, imperial, diametrical-pitch (DP), module-pitch (MP) and multiple-start thread cutting without requiring change gears. Its wide threading range and straightforward operation help improve productivity.
Imperial threading is available down to 2 TPI, providing a broader threading range and greater operating flexibility than many comparable lathes.
Carriage and Saddle
The bedway contact surfaces are lined with Turcite-B to reduce friction and wear. The dovetail slideway surfaces are induction-hardened and precision-ground to maintain accuracy and provide a long service life.
Apron
A forced-lubrication system ensures that the slideways receive consistent lubrication, helping maintain turning accuracy while reducing wear.
An integrated safety mechanism helps prevent collisions during operation.
Cross-Slide Screw
The cross-slide screw is supported at two points, providing the strength and stability required for heavy-duty turning.
Tailstock
A two-stage tailstock clamping system improves stability during heavy turning and drilling operations.
A two-stage feed mechanism provides greater control and easier operation.
