Lathe PM3800 with 400 volt motor and measuring system

Bargain: Former exhibition item with slight optical defects - technically flawless! (See pictures no. 2 to 5; year of manufacture 2022)

Intended use

The PM3800 is a lathe for use in the high-end hobby sector and is used for turning rotationally symmetrical workpieces (e.g. cylindrical turned parts). The lathe is also used for cutting threads with metric or inch pitch.

High-quality 4-axis measuring system with LCD screen and 3 pre-mounted magnetic strips

Gearbox running in an oil bath

Choice of twelve different speeds

Longitudinal and axial feed through combined lead/traction spindle

Powerful 400 V motor, this high-voltage device requires a higher mains voltage & is not equipped with a two-pole mains plug

Description of the

The PM3800 lathe is supplied with a matching base frame. The metal lathe is driven by a powerful 400 volt three-phase motor with an output power of 1,100 watts. Power is transmitted via a two-stage belt pulley, which allows the user to switch between the high and low speed ranges (by changing the position of the drive belt). The working spindle gear, which runs in an oil bath, has six different spindle speeds, which can be set using two control levers. This means that a total of twelve speeds from 65 to 1,650 rpm can be set. The combined lead/pull spindle enables both longitudinal and face feed. A lock nut is also integrated for thread cutting. To select the different feed speeds for turning and the different pitches for thread cutting, the required change gear combinations are used according to the change gear table. The direction of rotation of the lead/pull spindle can be changed independently of the direction of rotation of the lathe chuck by moving a switch lever. This means that this hobby lathe can also be used to produce left-hand threads. The lead/pull spindle is completely covered to prevent accidental intervention, and this protection also prevents falling metal chips from sticking. This prevents unnecessary wear and possible damage to the lock nut. The prism bed is induction hardened and ground. All guides can be adjusted backlash-free using wedge and pressure bars. The main spindle runs in precision tapered roller bearings, which can be readjusted if necessary. The top slide can be rotated through 360°. The tailstock can also be moved for taper turning. A professional control lever is used to switch the lathe on and off (clockwise or anti-clockwise rotation).
The start switch, the switch for an optional coolant unit, the operating light and the emergency stop button are located on the control box above the headstock. Other special features include a centre distance of 750 mm as well as a swing diameter above the bed of 330 mm. The spindle bore of 38 mm is also worthy of note.

4-axis magnetic tape measuring system

The pre-installed 4-axis magnetic tape measuring system with LCD screen deserves special mention. Some of the functions of the measuring system include

  • Calculator function with memory
  • Switchover mm / inch
  • Inclined contour / surface: Milling of phases or diagonal surfaces
  • Straight line (SHL): For evenly divided bores on a straight line
  • Tool compensation in lathe mode
  • Radii (R): For milling a radius or circular arc
  • Pitch circle (PCD): For evenly divided holes on an arc
  • Taper turning in lathe mode

Please note: The specified travel distances may be reduced if the measuring strips are fitted.

PM 3800 Drehbank mit Untergestell

Drehbank soweit gut allerdings, die Drehbank habe ich mit dem Untergestell gekauft aber dieses ist unbrauchbar. Der Drehbank vibriert und es gibt keine guzen Drehergebnisse. Wir mussten ein solides Untergestell selber machen.

Ganz Okay für Hobby

Prinzipiell ein sehr brauchbare Drehmaschine, größter Schwachpunkt meiner Meinung nach ist der Unterschrank und der Oberschlitten. Der Unterschrank ist leider nicht sehr stabil und der Oberschlitten war bei meiner Drehmaschine leider grottenschlecht. Paulimot hat mir daraufhin neue Teile für den Oberschlitten geschickt, die sind zwar besser, aber insgesamt ist die Konstruktion einfach zu schwach. Dies merkt man vor allem, wenn man einen Abstechstahl benutzen will, ohne klemmen aller vorhandenen Schrauben fast gar nicht möglich. Lieferung war sehr schnell, allerdings hat sich die Spedition nicht vorher angemeldet, glücklichweise waren gerade meine Eltern vor Ort, so das es doch geklappt hat.

PM 3800

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Maschine und auch mit dem Zubehör (Multfix Stahlhalter, diverse Drehmeißel mit Wendeschneidplatten, Bohrfutter, Rollkörner, usw. ) Bisher habe ich Aluminium und Kunststoff (PA) - Teile gedreht. Wenn man sich etwas mit der Materie beschäftigt (Schnittgeschwindigkeit, Vorschub) schafft man perfekte Ergebnisse/Oberflächen.

PM3800

Hallo Paulimot, die kleine Maschine mit Zubehör kam sehr gut verpackt an. Schaut alles echt gut aus, auch der oft bemängelte Unterschrank ist gut verarbeitet. Das Multifix A macht einen guten Eindruck, danke an das Team von Paulimot für die Zugabe vom Montagesatz. Ich bin leider noch nicht zum Aufstellen und Ausprobieren gekommen. Bisjetzt ist alles gut. Grüße Günter
