The Padovani Labor E300 is a lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning machine or engine lathe — a machine tool used to rotate a workpiece against a cutting tool to perform turning, facing, boring, and threading operations. Padovani is an Italian manufacturer with a long-standing presence in the production of precision lathes and machine tools, serving the metalworking and engineering industries.
This is a flatbed, single-spindle lathe built in 1997 and offered here in used condition. The flatbed design provides a rigid, stable platform well suited to heavy-duty turning work. The machine's working range is substantial: it accepts a maximum swing diameter of 720 mm over the bed, a turning diameter of 380 mm, and a maximum bar diameter through the spindle bore of 108 mm. The spindle bore itself measures 108 mm in diameter, and the maximum workpiece length between centres is 1,500 mm, giving the machine considerable capacity for larger components.
The main spindle operates through a three-gear transmission, with speeds ranging from 0 to 1,200 rpm, allowing the operator to match cutting speed to a wide variety of materials and diameters. Both the X and Z axes share a maximum traverse velocity and rapid traverse rate of 5,000 mm/min, supporting efficient CNC or servo-driven slide movement. The tool holder uses a steel holder system.
The tailstock is equipped with an MT6 (Morse Taper 6) sleeve, a 120 mm sleeve diameter, and a sleeve stroke of 200 mm, with the maximum distance between centres matching the 1,500 mm workpiece capacity. One steady rest is included with the machine as an attachment.
Electrically, the lathe is configured for a 400 V, 50 Hz three-phase supply, standard for industrial premises across Europe. The machine's overall footprint is 4,050 mm left-to-right and 1,730 mm front-to-back, with a total height of 2,050 mm. The total weight is approximately 5,500 kg, reflecting the robust cast construction typical of a machine of this class and capacity.
