Hi all,

I have been offered a lathe for $300 NZD which is roughly 200 USD, from my research it looks to be a Stanko or Stankoimport 1N611P I have googled a bit and found basic info about swing, bed length etc but not much else.

The lathe seems in pretty good shape but I think the speeds plate is missing from the front.

does anyone have any knowledge of this lathe and if it's any good.. it's also fitted with a 3phase motor so that either needs to be converted or the motor changed if the HP isn't any more than single phase can manage I suppose.

Any info would be handy! :)

It's a ИЖ 1И611П --> IZH 1I611P, produced by Izhevsk Machine-Tool Plant IzhmashStanko in Izhevsk in Russia.

See this link, but it's wrote at russian, translate in google translator. :) http://stanki-katalog.ru/sprav_1i611.htm

The letter of ИЖ 1И611П --->

Designation lathe

1 - lathe (group number for ENIMS classification)

И - generation machine (А, Б, В, Д, И, К, Л)

6 - sub-group number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) on the classification ENIMS (6 - Lathe)

11 - height of centers over bed (11, 16, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50) (11 - height of centers 130 mm )


The letters at the end of the model name:

Г - a machine frame with a recess

K - Copy lathe

П - precision machine - (n, n, b, a, c) in accordance with GOST 8-82 (P - improved accuracy)

Ф1 - machine with digital readout DRO device and coordinates

Ф2 - machine with positioning system, CNC numerical control

Ф3 - Machine with a contour (continuous) CNC

Ф4 - a multi-purpose machine with contouring system CNC and shop tools

Not difficult to read russian since i am married with ukrainan wife hence not difficult to google after the lathe. If you need more info, google after this: ИЖ 1И611П or IZH 1I611P :)

I can see the length and height is about same as Sieg C6, but more strong build to take heavy work.
 
Brilliant thank you very much!

I currently have a Myford Super 7, so given this is so cheap and has a larger center than the Myford I will probably go for it.

If You have the space,buy it.
It is built to toolroom specifikations and was sold for silly low money in the west.
 
okay, sounds good.

next issue is the three-phase motor, from what I have found it's a 3KW (4HP) unit, I could get a single phase motor that would do the job but would prefer to keep it three-phase and have a convertor.. all comes down to dollars though.

once I (hopefully) pick it up, I will take a couple of photos and post.

thanks
Scott.
 
Yeh, that was my first port of call for information but that's a different model than the one I was looking at, I think that's a fair bit larger as well..

still, it's a great website for information.

cheers

Well I am now the proud owner of a $300 Russian lathe! More photos tomorrow when I get the truck to drop it off :) he even threw in a single to three-phase converter box (I hope it works)
 
New (old) lathe arrived today.. I have a better understanding of three phase now.. however if I don't post tomorrow.. it was nice knowing you all :eek:

Normally I'd recommend a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) to run the 3 phase motor. A 3KW motor though is getting up there where the expense of the VFD goes up, plus you will need a fairly stiff feeder to supply the VFD. This especially if you want to get the full power available from the motor. Still I'd look into a VFD, just understand that you may need a dedicated electrical line.

In my mind a VFD offers other advantages including variable speed and soft starts. VFD's effectively upgrade many lathes.

In any event for $200 how can you even pass it up? You can't even buy a good scroll chuck for $200
 
Yep, I think VFD is a great idea - My Myford has a three phase motor and VFD which makes a world of difference.

I think I will spend the time cleaning it up and painting - That will give SWMBO time to get used to the expense of the VFD :)
