SB-8 – Clausing Slant Bed CNC Lathe, 20.8″ Swing Over Bed, 11.81″ Swing Over Saddle

The Clausing SB-8 Slant Bed CNC Lathe is a compact, production-ready machine designed for precision and efficiency. Featuring a one-piece cast base and 30-degree slant bed construction made from Meehanite cast iron, this lathe ensures stability, reduced vibrations, and superior chip management. The linear way structure is highly rigid to suit all heavy-duty turning applications with rapid travels on the X and Z axes up to 1181”/min for increased productivity. The 12-station hydraulic turret produces enhanced clamping force and quick tool-to-tool time.

The machine’s 15 HP variable AC spindle drive delivers reliable torque for demanding turning applications, while its hydraulic tailstock and directly coupled servo motors to the ballscrews minimize backlash and distortion. A compact footprint, ergonomic design, and robust capabilities make this slant bed CNC lathe a perfect addition to any production environment looking for increased productivity.

The Fanuc Oi-TF CNC control delivers twice the processing speed of previous models. Its intuitive “Manual Guide” programming system simplifies program creation with conversational cycle prompts and toolpath graphics for verification. With features like Direct Drawing Dimension Programming, canned cycles (G70-G76), rigid tapping, and a 10.4″ color LCD display, the control enhances precision and efficiency. Seamless connectivity through USB, Ethernet, and RS-232 ports ensures smooth integration into your workflow.
